Question 1

I’m ready to move, but is my house ready to go on the market?"

Accepted Answer

Deciding you’re ready to make the leap is a great feeling but preparing to put your house up for sale can feel stressful if you aren’t sure what to do. To help prepare, I encourage you to book a consultation with us 12-6 months prior to listing your house. This will provide us ample time to make recommendations and connect you with a stager who could recommend simple updates to your home.

Question 2

Who do I hire to get my house market ready?

Accepted Answer

We have an extensive list of service providers who are ready to help you with everything from changing the locks to patching up walls.

Question 3

How much is my current home worth?

Accepted Answer

Our team will conduct a comprehensive search into market trends and recent neighbourhoods to determine how your house compares, and exactly what it’s worth.

Question 4

How do I find the time to get all this done?

Accepted Answer

Make a list, underline the most important things, and hire the right help. We’ll make sure you’re connected with all the right experts.

Question 5

What neighbourhood do I move to?

Accepted Answer

We will spend an extensive amount of time chatting about your needs and what suits you and your family best. Based on your needs, we’ll match you with ideal communities and take a deeper look into each one until you’ve found your new home.

Question 6

I need to stay in the same school district – what if there are no houses?

Accepted Answer

We can conduct searches on specific neighbourhoods and bordering ones that still allow access to your school districts. There are more options out there than you think!

Question 7

What if the inspector finds something that requires fixing before I list?

Accepted Answer

We offer pre-listing home inspections by top notch home inspectors. If anything is found during the inspection, we can help you get quotes and fix issues fast. It’s in your best interest to fix any problems now, as often buyers will double or even triple the cost to do the repair.

Question 8

I’m not sure if I’m ready to sell yet, but I have a lot of questions – can we still connect?"

Accepted Answer

If you’ve decided an impending move is in your future, then it is never too early to connect. We can help update you on the market, what to expect and offer suggestions of where you can start looking. Building a plan together will ensure your journey starts off on the right foot!

Question 9

Can I afford to buy a house right now?

Accepted Answer

If you’re unsure of where you stand financially, we’re more than happy to connect you with a mortgage broker so you can feel confident and in control.
