Seller's Guide
The first three weeks on the market decide most sales. Price, presentation and exposure are all set before a single buyer walks through the door — here's how I prepare a home in Barrie and Simcoe County for sale.

1. Find out what your home is actually worth
Pricing starts with comparable sales in your own pocket, not a national average or an online estimate. Request a free home evaluation and I'll send back a realistic range with the sales behind it.
2. Set your timeline
Whether you need to buy first, sell first, or line both up on the same closing date changes the strategy. We plan that before anything goes live.
3. Prepare the property
Declutter, deep clean, fix the small deferred items, and handle the repairs a buyer's inspector will find anyway. I'll tell you which improvements return money in this market and which ones don't.
4. Photography and marketing
Professional photography, accurate room measurements, a clear floor plan where it helps, and full exposure on the MLS® System so every co-operating agent's buyers see it. Your listing is also shared through this site and my social channels.
5. Showings and feedback
We agree on how showings are booked and how much notice you need. I pass along real feedback weekly, along with what the traffic is telling us about the price.
6. Offers and negotiation
We review every offer on price, deposit, closing date, inclusions and conditions — not price alone. A strong offer with shaky financing is worth less than a slightly lower firm one.
7. Firm deal to closing
Once conditions are satisfied, your lawyer handles title, adjustments and registration. Plan for your own selling costs: legal fees, mortgage discharge or penalty if you're breaking a term, commission, and moving.
Start with a price, not a guess
Request a free, no obligation evaluation and I'll prepare a realistic range for your property, or call me at (705) 796-6348.
