10 Steps to Selling Like a Pro
Selling your home can be very emotional and at times a very intensive process. When you are ready to sell, make sure you are informed. Being informed can save you precious time and money. Below, you will find a list of topics that you should be aware of when selling your home. Be sure to take a read and send us a quick message if you have any further questions.
STEP 1
THE TALK
Just like buying, there are many factors involved with deciding to sell. We’ll sit down with you and go through the reasons and motivation for you to sell. To start you off, here are some pointers:
- Why do you want to sell?
- Is it the right time?
- Is it a seller’s market?
- Need to sell now or can you wait?
- How flexible are you, in terms of when to sell?
- Is your house ready to be sold as is?
STEP 2
THE DECISION
After our meeting, you should have all the information you need to help you decide on what you want to do next.
- Sleep on it, and think about what you’d like to do
- Make the right decision
- Weigh out the pros and cons
STEP 3
THE EVALUATION
We will help you determine the value of your home using current market data and in-depth analysis.
- How much is your home worth in the current market?
- Get an appraisal
- Comparative Market Analysis
- Will you be doing any renovation work prior to selling?
- This can positively impact the value of your home.
STEP 4
THE FIXER UPPER
Everyone has their own reasoning for wanting to sell, but the one factor that’s the same across the board is wanting to get as much as you can for your home.
- Do you want to do renovations to make it more appealing?
- Picking renovations based on return on investment
- Do you need to enhance your curb appeal?
Have you had a home inspection done?
Keep your receipts and record any repairs done
STEP 5
THE STRATEGY
Now you’ve decided to sell, you got a market evaluation done and your home meets curb appeal – let’s crunch some numbers. As your agents, we’ll help you with:
- A plan of action for selling your home
- Determining an effective listing price and strategy
- Personalized marketing plan
STEP 6
THE LISTING
This is more than just sticking a sign on your lawn and putting a listing up on MLS.
- Our digital marketing strategies include listing on MLS, a custom website & more.
- Put up lawn signs & design quality feature sheets.
- Marketing your home using traditional and innovative methods such as Social Media
(Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
STEP 7
THE STAGING
Want to leave a lasting impression? It’s as simple as creating a “live-in” feeling for the buyer. The key is to have a potential buyer walk in to your home and they can already see themselves living there.
- Staging your home: Putting the 3-D effect in action — Declutter, Depersonalize, and Decorate
- Prepping an Open House – a successful open house is bound to generate quick interest in your home
STEP 8
THE OFFER
Leave all the fine print to us — you have enough on your plate. We’ll help you review an Offer to purchase and discuss all the details:
- Receiving offers
- Counter offering
- Generating multiple offers
- Negotiating deals
STEP 9
THE CLOSING
Knowing what to expect will bring you peace of mind. It’s basically pay-day for the selling but there are still a few remaining things that you need to do:
- Hiring a Lawyer — there’s a lot of money on the line and a mountain of paperwork. You want to make sure you hire the right professional to take care of all the complex legal work
- Closing costs
- Discharge of Mortgage
STEP 10
THE MOVE
Although you might be leaving a home where you built a lot of memories, you are about to start a new adventure. Here are some tips to get you started:
- Updating your address
- Transferring and/or cancelling utilities and services
- Canada Post Mail Forwarding
- Donate unwanted items to charity
- Have a yard sale
- Packing supplies
- Call the movers

TESTIMONIALS
Majury and Navi helped us buy AND sell our home in a matter of 7 days! The most customized experience we have experienced to date. My husband and I are over the moon and love our trusted realtors! 5 STARS!
Theepan is a very good, dedicated individual with the passion to help others and get them their dream homes within our budget.
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Majury. She was quick and efficient with finding us a rental when we weren’t ready to buy. She even found some good potential properties and helped steer us in the right direction when we were ready to purchase our first home. Majury went above and beyond and would recommend her to all of our friends and family! What a great asset to your team!
Majury was relentless in helping my partner and I secure our first home. She was a pleasure to work with and was very flexible in working with our availability. It was clear Majury and her team are very knowledgable and always look out for the best in their clients. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase their future home or investment!
I've been working with Prez for the past year or so he has been outstanding in meeting and exceeding our real estate needs I rely on his real estate advice, service and professionalism. Thank you Prez and keep up the outstanding work.
Being a landlord can be stressful but Navi has made the whole process seamless. He is very responsive and knowledgeable and is always available to discuss my concerns or any questions. Would definitely recommend this team!
Theepan was our realtor for the sale of our home recently. He was extremely knowledgeable, always professional, detail-oriented, tenacious, and intuitively customer focused. He was an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommend him and his team to anyone who needs an experienced realtor whom they can trust. As our family grows, we look forward to working with Theepan again in the future.
We dealt with Theepan from bespoke when selling our house and he explained us everything and walked us through the whole process. He helped us with everything we needed to do in order to get the top dollar for our home, and he delivered. Highly recommended! Thank you to your team.
Maj and Navi have been so helpful in the process to find a home. Maj made the process so much smoother and it was comforting to know I could contact her at any time with my questions. She was very honest and welcoming. If you're looking to buy or lease a home, definitely reach out to them! You won't be disappointed.
Theepan helped me buy my first property and I enjoyed every bit of it. He was very professional from start to finish and answered all my questions thoroughly (even my stupid ones:P). He was very patient when showing the properties I was interested in - even when he knew I wouldn't like it but he let me make that call. He quickly caught onto what I was looking for and found me that one! It was a true pleasure working with him. Thanks for you all your support getting me through that nerve-wracking process! He is not lying about the customized approach to real-estate!:) That's exactly what he does!
