It's important to work with an experienced REALTOR® when selling your most valuable asset. Selling your home takes preparation, organization and professional marketing.
Selling Your Home — What You Need to Know
Selling your home is a major decision — whether you're upsizing, downsizing, relocating, or taking advantage of market conditions. Understanding the selling process helps ensure a smooth experience and a successful outcome. My goal is to provide clarity, confidence, and expert guidance every step of the way.
1. Understanding Your Home’s Market Value
Before listing, it’s important to know what your home is realistically worth in today’s market.
I provide:
A detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
Recent sold data and current competing listings
Local insights specific to your neighbourhood and property type
A transparent conversation about pricing strategy
Accurate pricing is key to attracting serious buyers and achieving the best possible sale price.
2. Preparing Your Home for Sale
Presentation matters — and small improvements can make a big impact.
I’ll guide you through:
Decluttering and staging suggestions
Repairs or touch-ups that increase buyer appeal
Curb-appeal improvements
Pre-listing inspections (optional but often helpful)
My aim is to help your property shine and stand out in the Mill Bay to Nanaimo market.
3. Professional Marketing That Gets Results
A strong marketing plan ensures your home reaches the right buyers. My approach includes:
Professional photography
