Selling
It’s stressful and overwhelming for a lot of homeowners to be involved in the process of selling their home. Would-be buyers you’ve never met are coming in to your home, poking around, and there’s a realtor there hopefully to help manage everything and assist in the marketing of your Etobicoke real estate sale.
If you want to sell your home for the highest possible price and to do so relatively quickly, here’s how.
1. Show Your Home
Show your home in-person as much as possible. Don’t make it difficult to arrange or accommodate showings. The more people that take a walk through your property, the better. It’s also a chance to talk directly with prospective buyers and answer questions.
2. Take Care Of Repairs
If you cannot afford major renovations, that’s okay. Most homeowners can still address quick repairs that would no doubt deter certain buyers. This includes fixing loose tiles in the bathroom or kitchen, fixing hinges on doors and cabinets, unclogging the sinks, repairing leaky faucets, and refinishing any hardwood flooring. A fresh coat of paint can also heighten the appeal of a home for sale.
3. Your Selling Features
Know your selling features and be able to highlight them in a few words. Include them in conversations around selling your home. It may be priced to sell, newly renovated, be in a quiet location, or have proximity to specific amenities. Dig into the major selling features of your home and build a selling strategy around them.

5. List Your Home In The Right Places
Market your home correctly. Have your realtor write a detailed listing with HD photos and videos to boot. Market your listing across all available popular real estate sources, from websites to social media. The more the word spreads, the wider net you cast. This equates to more offers and more interested parties bidding for it.
6. Photos Say More Than A Description
In real estate listings, invest a lot in high-quality professional photos. Consider a virtual tour by video drone as well. Get a photo of the floor plan with measurements to include. These visual aids will do more for your marketing than anything else and allow an interested party to see the property prior to booking a showing.
7. Price Strategically
Price your home right from the start. Price too high and you won’t be able to sell it quickly like you hope. Select a pricing strategy carefully, depending on what you’re competing with in the neighborhood, if there’s a limited supply of housing, and other factors. Discuss with your realtor what is a fair price to conclude a fast sale without sacrificing profit.

Ensure countertops are clean, dirty laundry’s out of sight, the bed is made every morning, the dishes are done prior to any showing, and the floors are swept. The brighter and more airy your home is, the more it’s going to secure attention. A failure to keep your house clean for showings will likely mean receiving lower offers.
