Selling your home? The difference between a good sale and a great one is the plan.
Most sellers leave money on the table in the first two weeks: wrong price, weak photos, no strategy. This free guide shows you how a top 1% Greater Vancouver REALTOR® prepares, prices, and negotiates a sale, step by step and in plain English.
- Pricing that creates competition, why the right list price attracts more buyers and often a higher final number.
- The preparation checklist, which upgrades and touch ups actually pay for themselves, and which to skip.
- Photography that sells, what fifteen years behind a camera taught me about first impressions online.
- The marketing plan, where your listing appears, who sees it, and how feature sheets, floor plans, and open houses work together.
- Offer day, decoded, subjects, deposits, closing dates, and how to negotiate from strength.
- The real costs of selling, commissions, legal fees, and adjustments, so your net number holds no surprises.

The full process is in the guide. Here is the shape of it.
Market analysis
Recent comparable sales, current competition, and an honest read on timing. You see the same data I see.
Preparation & staging
Targeted touch ups and presentation that create the perception of a clean, cared for, move in ready home.
Photography & media
Photography was my first career. Your listing gets magazine quality images, floor plans, and feature sheets.
Marketing launch
Print and digital strategy tuned to your property, reaching local and out of market buyers where they actually look.
Showings & feedback
I know every listing I take inside out, and you get regular updates on activity, feedback, and comparable sales.
Offers & closing
Negotiation from strength, transparent costs, and every document delivered to your lawyer and lender on time.
-
Your home’s value depends on recent comparable sales in your neighbourhood, current competition, and condition. A free home evaluation gets you the real numbers, not just an automated online estimate. Use the link above or my Home Evaluation form to get started, and I’ll walk you through the comparables myself.
-
The main costs are the REALTOR commission you negotiate with your agent, legal fees for the conveyance, and adjustments for prepaid property tax or strata fees at closing. I go through your specific net proceeds with you before you list, so there are no surprises on completion day.
-
It depends on pricing, condition, and how competitive the market is for your property type and neighbourhood. Once you accept an offer, a typical subject-removal period is 5 to 10 business days, and completion usually happens 30 to 60 days after that.
-
Not usually. Full renovations rarely pay for themselves at resale. What matters more is targeted preparation: cleaning, decluttering, small repairs, and staging that create the perception of a well cared for home. I’ll walk your property with you and tell you exactly what’s worth doing and what to skip.
-
Buyers submit offers with their price, deposit, subjects such as financing or inspection, and a proposed closing date. I negotiate on your behalf to get the strongest terms, not just the highest number, and walk you through every clause before you sign.
