I am a full service Saskatoon real estate agent so all of my sellers are given the same services for the same price. I don’t believe in partial packages as each seller should be given the same services to benefit the sale of their home.
The first step is to determine if we can work together. I don’t take on every listing opportunity I have as, if I think the seller has unrealistic expectations on the price of their property, I don’t want to set us both up for failure.
Once we determine if we can work together I will do a proper CMA. This CMA is relevant at the time I do it, not necessarily 2 weeks or 2 months from now. We then determine a pricing range and a list price and I will speak to you about my experience with buyer’s so that we can capture as many people as possible.
There is paperwork that we need to go through and sign, so whoever is on title needs to be available to sign this. If we need to do some by distance we can do this by fax, scan, email, etc. I am very tech savvy so there are no problems with distance.
I will need to take pictures so I ask my sellers to ensure their Saskatoon house for sale is picture ready before putting the house on the market. It is best to have the pictures up as soon as the house is listed for sale in Saskatoon as our auto-email sends new listings the day they hit the market and if we are unprepared we miss out on potential Saskatoon home buyers.
Once your home is on the market I will be getting in touch with you for any showings. After showings I get feedback and will communicate that to you so that we can make any changes necessary but so that you also feel included and know what is happening with your house as that can be frustrating for sellers who use Saskatoon REALTORS® who do not get feedback. You have no idea what is happening and that is not fair.
PRICING YOUR HOME
The market in Saskatoon tends to be price sensitive so I will do the research necessary to ensure that we do not overprice your home. It is my job to guide you to the best listing price range. Read this section to learn more about the importance of pricing your home correctly and how it impacts the proceeds you end up with.
MARKETING & EXPOSURE
I utilize technology more than most agents as I believe in maximum exposure to bring as many potential buyers to view your home. I do believe in honest representation of your home so do not use wide angle lenses to try to make a 600 square foot home appear to be 1000 square feet as that will not sell your home.
SHOWING & OPEN HOUSE
When you list your home with me communication is very important. In this section I discuss how I approach showings with other agents, feedback, and open houses and what my expectation is from the owner. We have to work together to get the best price possible and avoid market damage so how your home is presented will affect the how quickly it sells.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN OFFER IS RECEIVED
Congratulations! In this section I will give you insight on what happens when we get an offer. There are three options when we get an offer. Accept as is, counter offer, or outright reject the offer. But which one to choose will depend on each individual offer brought forward. I will give some pointers on how to best handle different situations.
HOME SELLER DOCUMENTS
When I list your home for sale in Saskatoon, there are several mandatory forms that we need to fill out. There are also other documents that I will ask you for so that we have everything we need for when we get an offer. This section outlines the different forms required to list your home and the other documents that will help us in the sale.
COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS
Many agents will do a “Free Market Evaluation” which is usually just a quick snapshot to give you an idea of what your home is worth but the actual comparative market analysis process is quite time consuming as it is very detailed. Read this section to find out more about the process and what is involved in me figuring out the price of your home.
SELLING WITH KARI
Not only do I do my best to ensure that we price your home correctly so that you can get the best price and avoid market damage but I take pride in not ‘buying’ listings. If you agree to it, I like to get almost all of my new listings on our “Caravan” system which is unique to Century 21. This gets approximately 20+/- agents through your door within the first week of your listing your home for sale in Saskatoon. Those agents will talk about your property and give feedback on the list price, what they think it will sell for, as well as point out any negatives that you may or may not be aware of which gives the opportunity to fix these items.
Each week Century 21 has a sales meeting and at this sales meeting we go over the current market, current Saskatoon real estate trends, current Saskatoon real estate challenges and also a needs and wants section. This allows our company to speak about upcoming houses for sale in Saskatoon as well as if someone has a buyer and they have exhausted all other listings we can advise them of new houses for sale in Saskatoon that haven’t yet hit the market. Century 21 Saskatoon works as a team to get your home sold.
Along with my online marketing I also do some print media such as the REALTOR ® Showcase however most people look online now at houses for sale in Saskatoon so this is where I focus my money and energy. My websites are at the top of different search terms generically, this means I do not pay for the location on the 1st page of google searches like some agents do. If that agent pays to be there they could drop off at any time.
If you ever have any feedback about my write up or if I have missed something I am always open to my client’s requests and appreciate working together with my sellers to sell your Saskatoon home.
I take confidentiality very serious which many Saskatoon real estate agents do not. I don’t disclose motivation for selling or ask agents to bring me an offer for $x as I want you to get the most money you can for your Saskatoon home for sale.
