Seller's Guide

Selling by yourself may seem cost-effective at first, but the reality of the market shows that the support of a professional team offers a clear financial and logistical advantage:

• The right price from the start: Overpricing causes your property to stagnate; underpricing costs you thousands of dollars. We analyze the real market in real-time.
• Screening and security: We financially qualify buyers before visits to avoid "Sunday lookers."
• Legal peace of mind: Complex forms, seller disclosures, managing multiple offers... We protect you from future lawsuits.
• Maximum visibility: Your property is listed on the Centris network (accessible to thousands of brokers and their active buyers).

We do not throw out a number at random. We conduct a rigorous comparative market analysis. To do this, we analyze:

1. Similar properties that have recently sold in your area (e.g., Charlesbourg, Boischatel, etc.).
2. Properties currently competing with yours.
3. Properties that did not sell (and why).

We then adjust this value based on the unique features of your home (recent renovations, lot size, finished basement or not). Our goal is to maximize your profit while ensuring a quick sale.

To plan your sale, you need to anticipate the following costs:

• The brokerage fee: Payable only when signing at the notary, if the property is sold.
• The certificate of location: If it is more than 10 years old or if you have made modifications (adding a pool, a shed, or a patio), it must be redone by a land surveyor.
• The mortgage discharge fees: The fees required by your bank to close your current loan, as well as the notary's discharge fees.
• The mortgage penalty (if applicable): If you break your loan before its maturity date.

There's no need to undertake a major kitchen renovation that will cost you $30,000 if you can't recoup that investment. We recommend focusing on "Home Staging" and impactful minor repairs:

• Depersonalize and declutter: The buyer needs to imagine themselves in the space, not you. Clear out the rooms and store away family photos.
• Painting: A fresh coat of neutral-colored paint (white, beige, light gray) works wonders for brightness.
• Minor repairs: A leaky faucet, a loose doorknob, or a broken baseboard heater signal a poorly maintained home.

During our first visit, we will create a personalized list of small, rewarding actions for your property.

The selling timeline greatly depends on the area, the type of property, and the listed price.

• In highly family-oriented and sought-after areas of the North Shore, a house listed at the right price can find a buyer in less than 14 to 30 days.
• For high-end or more remote properties, the timelines can stretch between 45 and 90 days.

Our marketing strategy is designed to generate maximum interest from the first week of listing (the novelty effect) to minimize this timeline.
