THINKING

There are a lot of reasons people consider selling their Saskatoon or surrounding area home. Throughout my career as a Saskatoon real estate agent I have worked with individuals and families in almost all circumstances where you may consider selling your home. Many of those situations are happy and a reason for celebration but unfortunately there are situations that are more sensitive. You can be sure that when working with me confidentiality is extremely important and I will be sensitive to all reasons on why you may be selling your home and only disclose the reason if you direct me to do so. It is a natural question for a buyer to ask but I do not disclose as it may impact negotiations on your home.

SELL NOW OR WAIT?

This is one the biggest questions people considering selling their Saskatoon or surrounding area home ask themselves. Check out this section to find out why and when are some of the best times to sell your Saskatoon home.

CHOOSING A REALTOR®

Selling your Saskatoon home is a big decision and likely one of the biggest sales of your life. You want to ensure that you find a licensed Saskatoon REALTOR® who will meet your expectations and sell your house on your terms.

SELLING COSTS

Before deciding to sell your home it is important to understand and familiarize yourself with all of the costs associated with it. This section will provide you information on all of the costs of selling your Saskatoon home.

PRELIMINARY EVALUATION

Before some people can list their home they need to know an approximate value of their home in Saskatoon or surrounding area. This section will go over the information I need from you to start this ball rolling.

COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS

Once you have decided that you need/want to sell your home, I will spend the necessary time to give you a detailed evaluation in order to make the most informed decisions when listing your house for sale in Saskatoon. 

WHY CHOOSE KARI TO SELL?

Not everyone’s personalities match so some people prefer different types of agents. I am a strong negotiator but also look after my clients needs and take a personal interest in every client that I have. Some REALTORS® in Saskatoon are strictly business and don’t go above and beyond to get to know you or what type of communication you prefer or care about your needs. I am not one of those agents. I think you can be a very effective agent by treating everyone with respect and good communication. I don’t believe in taking on more listings or more clients than I can service properly which is also important. Some agents are more concerned about having the most houses for sale in Saskatoon and area but I believe being able to take care of my listings is more important.

I have one of the strongest web presences in Saskatoon which means your home gets more notice than most of the competition. As your home for sale in Saskatoon is on the front page of my websites it gets seen by anyone who is looking at my multiple websites.

I will be honest with you, the seller, in your pricing and in feedback. Any agent can tell you what you want to hear but I believe in honesty. When doing my CMA’s (comparative market analysis) I am going to give you a price range that is realistic and based on previous sales and concrete data. The same data that a certified home appraiser would use which is important. If you, the seller, wants to list your home for way more than the current market is indicating you will get market damage. If you can find a Saskatoon real estate agent to list it for that price chances are the listing will end up expiring or the agent will have to keep coming to you for price decreases. If you had listed it with a professional who knew what they were doing when it comes to price this process would be much easier and likely end up earning you the same money in less time.

Another thing to think about is that you get what you pay for. While it may appear that you will save money with one agent or one brokerage you may end up losing more if they aren’t as invested in getting you the best price. Each of us has marketing fees and if a Saskatoon real estate agent is charging a minimal fee to list your home they likely won’t be able to effectively market your home which could cost you more in the end or they are more interested in a quick sale so they will push for a lower list price and will want it sold quickly so may not represent your needs as well as they should.

I have many previous clients who I can put you in touch with if you would like to find out if I do truly stand behind my word. I look forward to earning your business!
