Toronto’s real estate market has become a very dynamic place for buyers and sellers. We’re seeing many cases where well-intentioned, but inexperienced agents simply don’t know how to get deals done. More than ever, experienced agents and their teams are proving to be the difference between winning and losing the GTA real estate game.
The current market moves faster than it ever has. Deals get done together when all the players execute according to plan. There are real estate lawyers, mortgages brokers/specialists, photographers, stagers, designers, home inspectors and others involved. One weak link can lead to disappointment and lost opportunities.
I’m proud of the team of experts I’ve assembled over the years – they’re handpicked. Each of them has proven themselves time and time again. So when it comes to introducing them to my clients, I know they will rise to the occasion. For example, a home inspection is a critical part of every purchase and my guy is a gem. I readily encourage conducting a home inspection before the house is listed. Having this information available for prospective purchasers undoubtedly smooths the way to the offer stage. The same works on the buying side. Providing a summary of deficiencies helps buyers make informed decisions; in turn, they can incorporate these improvements into their budget.
Whenever sellers are ready to list their house there’s usually a rush to get it to market. Once the home inspection is complete, we work hand-in-hand with our sellers to remedy the required fixes, as well as determine which ones get done and which should be postponed. To do this properly, we introduce a list of curated trades people that we trust to do the work and determine the most cost-effective options. As the work unfolds, our photographer, stagers, and cleaners are on standby with tentative time slots so the entire team knows what to do and when. Our team runs like a well-oiled machine, it’s the only way to get the best results for our clients.
It’s always satisfying to hear my clients’ jubilation when their buying or selling experience goes according to plan. Providing these personalized and professional services is just one way to ensure a win-win outcome. If it sounds like my team adds value, it’s because we do.
