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

It's almost closing time and there's so much to do!

I had the pleasure of working with Theepan when I purchased my first investment property. Theepan is extremely easy to work with and is knowledgeable - he had provided me with all the support and tools needed to navigate the process. He is also very attentive, patient, and responsive. From the initial interaction to even after the purchase of the property, he has continued to guide me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Theepan!

We worked with Navi & Majury to purchase our first home and had a very smooth & positive experience! They were extremely professional, responsive, and organized which made for a seamless process. Their years of experience & very strong negotiation skills resulted in us finding the perfect home well within our budget, which is extremely challenging to achieve given the current market. As first time home buyers, we would highly recommend working with Navi & Majury to help you navigate the real estate industry! Huge thanks to them & the Bespoke team!

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!

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.

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.

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!

I have worked with Theepan and his team to find tenents for my propery and to also sell my house. There were some complications from my side but the Bespoke team handled everything in a very professional manner. This resulted in very little involvement from my side and prevented a lot of stress for me. The house was sold without any disruption to my daily life. I would definitely work with them again.

Navi is very professional, and really went above and beyond in assuring us that everything was in order, and providing us unbiased advice. Thanks to him and the team, we were able to purchase a property we truly love! If you are in the market to purchase or sell a property, I would highly recommend to call them!
