Here are the steps to selling a house in Ottawa that we will take with you for a successful sale:
Step 1 - Before We Meet
The first steps to selling a house in Ottawa successfully is to provide you with a pre-listing package and comprehensive seller’s action booklet to fill out. This will allow us to prepare so we are able to provide you with in-depth information and answer your questions when we come to your home. We will ask you to tell us about your home, what you love most about it, how your ownership has improved it, and what features best showcase its unique charm.Step 2 - Our Introductory Meeting
When we come to your home, we will continue with our analysis and concentrate on your needs, objectives, and desires in selling your home. We will also establish a strategy and timeline that best serves you.Step 3 - Real Estate Market Analysis
Once we have compiled all the necessary information, one of the most important steps to selling a house is to develop a Comparative Market Analysis of your home’s worth. By comparing your property to recently sold homes in your area with similar features, we can determine the optimal listing price.Step 4 - Preparing Your Home for Sale
We will provide you with information and advice regarding the preparation of your home in order to make an impactful first impression. By looking through the eyes of a potential buyer, we will give you tips to sell your home faster.Step 5 - Beautiful Collaterals
Now that your home is looking its best, we will bring in our professionally-trained Photographer to take stunning images and video footage of your home which will be used for custom brochures, print advertising, web listings, and video tours.Step 6 - Tailored Real Estate Marketing Strategies
We will specifically design an innovative and comprehensive marketing plan unique to you which will blend digital and traditional marketing, from social media advertising and website marketing to custom feature sheets, custom agent ecards, flyer campaigns, and more.

Most importantly, we will make sure that every condition and stipulation is favourable or neutral to you.Step 9 - Home Closing Time

Ray has been a terrific agent who always was professional and pleasant. Despite a tough market, Ray always found a way to work things out and finalize the sale. In our case of selling our condo, Ray went the extra mile and collaborated with the buyers, building superintendent, condo committee and trades contractors to make everyone happy, satisfy all the conditions and finalize the sale. We were lucky to have Ray on our team. Thank you!
