Professional Tips from one of the best in the
Toronto Real Estate Market Area.

With over 27 years of experience in the Toronto Real Estate area I have seen many market
swings and changes; and these are some of my tips if you are SELLING or BUYING.

SELLING

Benefits to Proper Pricing

Faster Sale - When your home sells faster, you save carrying costs, mortgage payments and other ownership
costs.

  1. Less Inconvenience - If you've moved before, you know the energy it takes to prepare for showings,
    keep the home clean, make child care arrangements and alter your lifestyle. Proper pricing reduces this.
  2. Exposure to More Prospects - At market value, you open your home up to more people who can
    afford the price.
  3. Increased Agent Response - When agents are excited about a home and its price, they make special efforts to contact all their potential buyers.
  4. Better Response from Advertising & Sign Calls - Ad calls and sign calls to your agent turn into showings
    when price is not a deterrent.
  5. Attracts Higher Offers - When a home is priced right, buyers are less likely to offer low out of a fear of losing a good home!
  6. Means More Money to You - If a home is priced right, the excitement of the market produces higher sale prices. You NET more both in terms of actual sale price and in less carrying costs.

Pricing Questions to ask Yourself

  • Is the local market rising, falling or staying even?
  • Is my opinion of value based on the actual neighborhood sale prices?
  • How many homes in this area are competing against mine right now and how does mine compare?
  • Have any neighbouring homes been on the market too long and why?
  • Is my home consistent with, larger or smaller than the surrounding area homes?
  • Which improvements have I made since purchase that will actually increase the value?
  • Which improvements won't?
  • Are my financial needs influencing my asking price?
  • Am I willing to price right and stand firm?
