Why sell any type of property with a real estate broker?

It is very possible for you to sell your house, condo, or any other property by simply displaying around a few sale banners or by 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 broker?

Well, there are a lot of reasons why you would prefer to go with a broker, however, to put it simply, real estate transactions are complex and with the advent of each year it becomes even more difficult to access, to 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 is able to guide you through each of these stages with ease while remaining assured that his competence, his network of contacts, his knowledge of the sector, the art of valuation and his negotiation skills certify him to be your best bet in the sale of your house, condo or any other type of property.

Also keep in mind that most buyers are already used to working with real estate brokers and might not be interested in purchasing a property that is sold by owner. Most importantly, you need to partner with a real estate broker as this will allow you to gain visibility through better marketing.

By selling your property through a Quebec real estate broker like Stephane Duhaime, your property is advertised on more than 30 real estate sites, including the two most popular MLS and Centris.

Selling at a higher bid | Preparation, negotiation and decision

So you have a property that is in high demand and you find yourself in a market where there are a lot of buyers but fewer properties. Situations like this are great; However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind as a seller for a successful and favorable bid.

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

After receiving an offer to purchase from an interested party, it is important that you agree with the buyer on a response time. Try not to accept an offer on the spot. Leave space for reflection when considering the proposal or other available options. During this period of reflection, you can try to contact Stephane Duhaime, a chartered real estate broker, and he will answer all your questions, making sure you complete your transaction with confidence.

Depending on demand and if you haven't accepted any offers, you can try asking interested parties to increase their offer. You can achieve this by creating a bidding up. When bidding up, it is beneficial if you ask your potential buyers to provide a mortgage pre-approval letter as proof that they have the capacity to pay the amount offered or increased.

Proceed to accept the offer that matches your desires and make sure to notify other unsuccessful buyers of your decision while asking them if they would like to be notified if the accepted offer fails.
Finally, if the offer to purchase you accepted has been improved, be sure to keep verbal or written proof of the changes made.

10 tips for selling your property

In order to perfectly sell your property to the right client without compromising on price, here are some tips to consider.

1. Give a good impression
The evaluation of several buyers has shown that, often over time, the decision to buy is made as soon as a buyer sees the main entrance to the house. This means that it is necessary that you give a good impression. This can be achieved by making sure that the necessary repairs are made, that everything is clean, and that waste, including dead leaves, is removed.

2. Try to make some changes
Even after making sure every aspect of the property is clean, it's even more beneficial to do some touch up. These can include, but are not limited to painting, replacing wallpaper, or replacing broken tiles.

3. Prioritize details
Do you know that the simple things matter when it comes to selling a home? Things as simple as getting the door to work properly, opening the window without friction and many more deserve attention.

4. Evaluate the basement
Don't leave the basement out. Who knows, your buyer might be more interested in the basement than the rest of the house. So, be sure to clean it, turn it on, and coat it in pain if necessary.

5. Don't leave cabinets hanging
Give your potential buyers the illusion of space by making sure all storage units are tidy. Most people are still interested in practical and spacious storage units.

6. The bathroom and the kitchen are the essential elements
The kitchen and bathroom are the most precious part of the house for almost everyone. Make sure they are the most beautiful. Clean faucets, wash towels and linens, free up counters and make everything shine.

7. Enjoy the lighting
Lighting creates a feeling of space and beauty; Take advantage of this simple trick to make your home look warm and welcoming to your potential buyers.

Remember, not everyone likes animals. Some of your buyers might be allergic to it. It is therefore beneficial to make the environment free of animals.

Eliminate the things that could create distractions. Turn down the volume on any gadgets nearby and be careful while the broker takes care of everything.

10. Be clear and concise
If you have specific information on the sale of your home, inform your broker from the Stéphane Duhaime Vendirect team beforehand. He will be able to present them to the buyer if necessary.
