The decision to sell your house is unfortunately usually accompanied by some feelings of apprehension and worry. The common questions that people usually ask themselves are
- Selling their house quickly
- Getting a fair price
- Being kept informed of the progress
- Avoiding any hassles
My action plan
Before listing the home
-
I perform a detailed market analysis of similar houses in the area. I check the details of the houses that have been recently sold and try to see the active listings personally so that I can fairly and accurately assess a fair price for your house
-
On the basis of this detailed analysis, I can determine the right asking price for your house
-
I will make suggestions and recommendations as to how to make your home more appealing to potential purchasers, and thus more saleable
After listing the home
-
I will add the listing to the many publicly accessible databases so that it is exposed to the majority of people in the minimum time
-
Multiple Listing Service - Accessible by all city agents and by the private consumer too. This contains all detailed information on your house and photos. The Ottawa Real Estate Board web site is (
www.ottawarealestate.org)
-
Royal LePage Web Site - Accessible by all Royal LePage agents and private consumers, contains detailed information and photos.
(www.royallepage.ca)
-
My Web Site (
www.veenasharma.com
) - Accessible by all. Contains detailed information, electronic version of the feature brochure and more photos.
-
Using Royal LePage's instant messaging hotline, I will page all 500 Ottawa area Royal LePage agents so that they are notified of the new listing within minutes.
- Display a sign on the lawn.
-
Prepare a professional and informative feature brochure, featuring the best features of the home-this is displayed in the house for prospective buyers as well as other agents.
-
Schedule an agent's open house so that I can personally educate the other agents about the special features of the house.
-
Deliver just listed cards in the neighbourhood to maximize the "word-of-mouth" marketing done by your neighbours.
- Possibly schedule a public open house if necessary.
-
Advertise your home in the appropriate publications, including The Ottawa Citizen, Ottawa Board Real Estate Guide and other local newspapers
During the term of the listing
-
There will be many people coming through your home, but I will work to ensure that those who come through the house have the means and desire to purchase your home. This is termed pre-qualifying buyers and is a fine art, but one which I have the knowledge and instinct for.
-
I am always in touch with the sellers, keeping them informed of the results of showings, open houses and the results of our advertising. I always encourage sellers to feel free to call me anytime whenever they have any question in mind-just pick up the phone and call!
-
The vendors peace of mind is very important (can be taken in the intro of vendor - that my service includes - feel free to call me at any time, any anxiety (its a big decision) just call Veena - she has a pager and can be reached at any time.
-
If your home has not been sold after being listed for 4 weeks, I will review the actions that we have taken with you and make whatever changes are necessary
During the sale
- Once we receive an offer for your house, I will negotiate keeping your best interests in mind.
- Ensure the smooth completion of the important components of the offer-financing, building inspection, survey, appraisals and lawyers, among others.
- I am there to provide my VIP service till you have happily closed the deal and moved into your new location i.e. until you are a happy camper.
