It depends on recent sales of similar homes near you, what is currently for sale, and the condition of your home. We prepare a free Comparative Market Analysis that reviews sold, active and expired listings, then walk through your home and give you a realistic price range. There is no cost and no obligation to list.

It depends on price, condition and the market at the time. When buyers outnumber listings, a well-priced home can sell within days. When there is more choice for buyers, it usually takes several weeks or longer. At your evaluation we show you the current Fraser Valley Real Estate Board figures for homes like yours, so you know what to expect. Homes that are priced right from day one get the most showings and the strongest offers.

The main costs are real estate commission, legal or notary fees (published BC ranges for a seller run from roughly $800 to $2,000), any fee your lender charges to discharge your mortgage, and moving costs. Property tax and utility adjustments are settled by your lawyer or notary on closing. We give you an estimate of your net proceeds before you list, so there are no surprises.

Every listing gets professional HDR photos, an HD walk-through video, drone footage for most properties, a measured floor plan and a four-page brochure. Your home goes on MLS, REALTOR.ca and REW.ca, in paid Facebook and Instagram ads aimed at likely buyers, and in more than 8,000 Just Listed flyers a month. We aim to hold an open house the first weekend and send you a progress report every week.

In BC, buyers of most resale homes have a three-business-day Home Buyer Rescission Period after an offer is accepted. A buyer who withdraws in that window pays the seller a rescission fee of 0.25% of the purchase price, which is $2,000 on an $800,000 sale. The period cannot be waived, and only the buyer can use it. We stay in close contact with the buyer’s agent so you always know where your sale stands.
