It is entirely possible for you to sell your house, condo, or any other property simply by putting up a few “For Sale” signs or running a marketing campaign on a few social media platforms. So, if you can sell your property by doing this, why do you need a real estate agent?

Well, there are many reasons why you would prefer to go with a broker, however, to put it simply, real estate transactions are complex, and with each passing year, it becomes even more difficult to access, negotiate, qualify buyers, inspect, fill out legal forms, discuss inclusions and exclusions, and even choose an occupancy date.

A qualified real estate professional like Stéphane Duhaime can guide you through each of these steps with ease, while remaining confident that his expertise, network of contacts, knowledge of the sector, appraisal skills, and negotiation abilities make him your best bet when selling your house, condo, or any other type of property.

Also keep in mind that most buyers are already accustomed to working with real estate brokers and may not be interested in purchasing a property that is being sold by the owner. More importantly, you should partner with a real estate broker because this will allow you to gain visibility through better marketing.

By selling your property through a Quebec real estate broker such as those on Team Duhaime, your property will be advertised on more than 120 real estate websites, including the two (2) most popular: MLS®/Realtor.ca® and Centris.ca®.

You have a property that is in high demand and you find yourself in a market where there are many buyers but fewer properties. Situations like this are great; however, as a seller, you need to keep certain things in mind for a successful and favorable auction.

Since you cannot control what buyers will be willing to pay, it is advisable to set a realistic asking price. Setting a fair price will help you attract the right buyers. Once you understand the demand for your product, you can use this information to better streamline your marketing. Once a buyer offers a price higher than the one you have assigned to your property, bidding automatically begins.

After receiving a purchase offer from an interested party, it is important that you agree with the buyer on a response deadline. Try not to accept an offer on the spot. Allow yourself time to think when considering the proposal or other available options. During this reflection period, you may try to contact Stéphane Duhaime, a licensed real estate broker, and he will answer all your questions while ensuring you can complete your transaction with peace of mind.

Depending on demand and if you have not accepted any offers, you can try asking interested parties to increase their offers. You can achieve this by creating a bidding war. During a bidding war, it is advantageous to ask your potential buyers to provide a mortgage pre-approval letter as proof that they have the ability to pay the offered or increased amount.

Proceed to accept the offer that best matches your preferences, and be sure to inform the other unsuccessful buyers of your decision while asking them whether they would like to be notified if the accepted offer falls through.

Finally, if the purchase offer you accepted has been amended, be sure to keep verbal or written proof of the changes made.

In order to sell your property perfectly to the right customer without compromising on price, here are a few tips to consider.

1. Make a good impression
Surveys of several buyers have shown that, often, the decision to buy is made as soon as a buyer sees the front entrance of the house. This means that it is necessary for you to make a good impression. This can be achieved by ensuring that any necessary repairs are carried out, that everything is clean, and that any debris, including dead leaves, is removed.

2. Try making a few changes
Even after ensuring that every aspect of the property is clean, it is still beneficial to make a few touch-ups. These may include, but are not limited to, painting, replacing wallpaper, or replacing broken tiles.

3. Prioritize the details
Did you know that simple things matter when it comes to selling a home? Things as simple as a door that works properly, a window that opens smoothly, and many others deserve attention.

4. Evaluate the basement
Don't neglect the basement. Who knows, your buyer might be more interested in the basement than the rest of the house. So make sure to clean it, light it, and coat it with paint if necessary.

5. Don't leave cabinets hanging
Give your potential buyers an illusion of space by ensuring that all storage units are tidy. Most people are always interested in practical and spacious storage units.

6. The bathroom and kitchen are the most important rooms
The kitchen and bathroom are the most valuable parts of the house for almost everyone. Make sure they look their best. Clean the faucets, wash the towels and sheets, clear the countertops, and make everything shine.

7. Take advantage of lighting
Lighting creates a sense of space and beauty; take advantage of this simple tip to give your home a warm and welcoming feel for potential buyers.

8. Make the environment pet-free
Remember that not everyone likes animals. Some of your buyers may be allergic to them. It is therefore beneficial to make the environment pet-free.

9. Eliminate potential distractions
Remove anything that could be distracting. Turn down the volume on any nearby devices and pay attention while the broker takes care of everything.

10. Be clear and concise
If you have any specific information about the sale of your home, let your Stéphane Duhaime Vendirect team broker know in advance. They will be able to present it to the buyer if necessary.
