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

Working with Theepan and the Bespoke team was like hitting the “easy button” at Staples! Everything from the initial consultation to moving in was so seamless. Theepan also empowered us with thought-provoking questions which helped tremendously, and we felt so comfortable asking all our stupid questions. We’ve already recommended Bespoke to our friends and family, and they’ll definitely be our go-team for all our real estate questions going forward. Keep up the great work guys!

Navi was an exceptional professional in helping my wife and I purchase two properties and sell one in a short period of time. One characteristic that stands out the most is his integrity through providing advice with his client's interest in mind.

That said, on more than one occasion during our experience, Navi really challenged us to think and consider all options before making a decision. He could have easily provided us with what we wanted to hear in making an offer on a property that we wanted to act on in the heat of the moment. Instead he challenged us to consider all possible options before making a final decision.

One final memorable example of Navi's professionalism was his willingness to endure and fight for his clients. Navi was at the helm of an eight party bidding war for what would become our home. He was prepared, and kept us informed throughout the four hour process.

Because of his determination and persistence we came out on top and secured the property that we wanted.

Buying and selling a home can be an intense and enduring process, that is why we need professionals such as Navi to help guide us through the process with the client's interests in mind.

Thank you Navi for all your hard work.

Amelin both sold our home and found us a new one that we love!

Her expertise and calm attitude through both processes were greatly appreciated. She is quick to respond, a strong negotiator and asks the right questions to guide you along. Amelin’s persistence gets results while being respectful to all involved. We really enjoyed our time with her and will work with her again for any future homes we buy/sell.

I would highly recommend Amelin to anyone that is looking for a realtor. She works hard to ensure you get into a home that fits your needs, future plans and budget.

My husband and I could not be happier with the outcome of the sale of our starter home and the purchase of our forever dream home. We owe our gratitude to Navi, Majury and Rohit for their knowledge and expertise in guiding us through this process. What we loved the most about Bespoke Real Estate Team is that it is true to its name; the experience was painless, and customized to our every need and with 2 young children and the complexities around COVID-19, this was much appreciated. Navi is extremely savvy, and has strong negotiation skills getting us the best price for both the sale and purchase transactions. Majury is patient and was very tuned into our needs for a new home, making the search enjoyable and exciting, and Rohit was meticulous, responsive and reliable at all times. We will absolutely continue to work with Bespoke for all our future needs and highly recommend them to anyone!

Navi and the Bespsoke team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and provided us with an excellent experience when buying our first family home. Navi was well researched about the neighbourhoods we were interested in and always brought his A game. He successfully negotiated a selling price for our condo which was well beyond what we were expecting, maintaining composure and tact during the entire process making us feel extremely comfortable. Navi is a superb realtor and a compassionate person and I would not hesitate to use him for our next purchase!

When i was looking for a rental property in the GTA, Prez was very knowledgeable and understood my wants/needs and executed it accurately, and a timely manner. He was also willing to help no matter the question as long as it is relates to real estate, and i was amazed at his wealth of knowledge of the industry. Thank you so much Prez, for constantly going above and beyond to meet client's needs and for your professionalism. I will definitely recommend the services of Prez, and his company to family and friends.

Theepan was very helpful during the process and throughout exhibited a high level of professionalism. As inexperienced home buyers he asked insightful questions to assist us in the process. He was committed to viewing as many homes as needed to ensure we found the ideal home. He communicated with us every step of the way, was always available, and explained all the details involved in the process - which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend Theepan to anyone who is looking for an honest and experienced realtor.
