Whether you're relocating,downsizing, or just looking for
a fresh start.
These tips will help you get thejob done efficiently and stress

(01:40):
Before we get into this step bystep guide, here's what you're
going to need.
A reliable real estate agent whoknows the Fernie market.
That could be me.
Professional quality photos foryour listing.
Again, something that we canprovide.
And a solid understanding ofwhat buyers are looking for in
this area.

(02:00):
Got those?
Great.
Let's dive in.
So step one, price it right.
Overpricing can do numerousthings, but the biggest thing it
can do is scare off buyers.
While the right price willattract interest immediately.
Honestly, that is the biggestthing that you can do correctly.
In my opinion, But if it'spriced correctly, it will sell.

(02:23):
Step 2.
Boost your home's curb appeal.
First impressions really domatter.
Simple updates like fresh paintand landscaping go a long way.
Step 3.
Market your home effectively.
high quality photos, a goodvideo, an engaging online
listing, and social mediaexposure are crucial for getting

(02:44):
more eyes on your property.
Step four, be prepared tonegotiate.
Flexibility can make thedifference between a quick sale
and months on the market.
Okay, so let's break these stepsdown in a little more detail.
Pricing it right.
Overpricing is the fastest wayto slow down your sale.
Trust me.
work with a local real estateagent, like me, to analyze local

(03:07):
trends, recent comparable sales,and buyer demand to set the
price right from day one.
If priced competitively, you'llattract more buyers and could
even spark a bidding war, ratherthan chasing the market with
price reductions later.
example in point, it wasn't mylisting, but on the weekend, we

(03:28):
were involved in a 500, 000price point home in Fernie,
where there were six competingoffers.
So getting the price right.
Could encourage this situationand provide a potentially higher
return your home.

(03:49):
Prepare your home.
First impressions really matterand preparing your home the
right way can make all thedifference.
Start by decluttering anddepersonalizing.
Buyers need to envisionthemselves living in the space.
Tackle minor repairs, touch uppaint and boost curb appeal with
simple fixes like refreshinglandscaping and a welcoming
entrance.

(04:09):
if you want to stand out,staging can highlight your
home's best features and make itmore inviting.
Market your property like a pro.
A great listing starts with highquality photos, floor plans,
Matterport 3D scans of the home,and a compelling listing
description that showcases whatmakes your Fernie home that

(04:31):
special.
Whether it's stunning mountainviews, ski in or ski out access,
or modern upgrades, your listingshould be everywhere.
Real estate websites, socialmedia, email campaigns, YouTube,
Facebook, local advertising, andvirtual tours can give buyers a
real feel for the propertybefore they even step inside.

(04:52):
Be ready for showings.
Once your home is listed,flexibility is key.
Keeping it clean, staged andready for last minute showings.
The more accessible your homeis, the more potential buyers
will come through.
Consider a pre listinginspection to avoid any
surprises and keep negotiationssmooth when the offers start

(05:12):
rolling in.
Now, here's a little tip on howwe like to schedule.
Listings we'll start on aMonday.
Monday is the beginning of theweek.
So it'll hit the market It'llstart getting exposure on a
Wednesday We will invite all thelocal realtors through for a
realtor's open house so they cansee it for their clients by
Thursday, we're primed for theweekend.

(05:33):
Typically we schedule openhouses for Saturday and Sunday
to get as much exposure to yourproperty as we possibly can.
And that's just one of ourstrategies of how we list
properties here in Fernie.
If you would like moreinformation on how we can help
list your property, there is alink below this description

(05:53):
where you can schedule a calldirectly into my calendar.
negotiation and closing.
Very important stages of sellingyour home.
When you receive offers, yourreal estate agent will help you
evaluate and negotiate the bestdeal for you.
Beyond just the sale price,you'll want to consider
conditions, possession dates,And potential repair requests.

(06:15):
Once a deal is firm, Work withyour agent and the lawyer to
ensure a seamless closingprocedure.
Want to maximize interest?
Schedule showing strategically,like we mentioned.
Open houses on the weekends andevenings tend to work best.
don't underestimate the power ofa well executed open house.

(06:37):
our strategy would be for thefirst weekend that your listing
is up, we would have a publicopen house.
Well, not only a public openhouse, on the few days before
we'd have realtor open housewhere realtors just come
through.
So if they know that they haveclients, they could be bringing
them to the table even beforethat open house weekend.

(06:57):
So we're basically getting asmuch exposure onto your property
as we possibly can.
So you get your property listedand you're not getting much
interest.
You may have overpriced or needbetter marketing.
If your home has been sitting onthe market for weeks, consider
adjusting your pricing strategyor refreshing your listing with

(07:19):
new photos and descriptions.
So basically, when you list aproperty, three things will
happen.
If you've priced your propertycorrectly, you will get a ton of
interest and you will get abunch of showings and you will,
at that end of that process, youwill have an offer which you
most likely will accept becauseyou've hit the nail on the head

(07:40):
with the pricing strategy.
Number two, you have all thesame things as number one, you
have a bunch of interest, lotsof showings, but you don't get
any offers.
Well, you're probably becausethe price isn't just, it's not
right.
You may have to make a smalladjustment.
the third thing that will happenif you list your property way
over market value is that you'llget no interest, tumbleweeds, no

(08:04):
showings, no offers, and youknow you're completely out to
lunch.
With your price.
at that point, you would need tohave a major look at your
pricing, maybe take it off themarket, refresh it, talk to a
real estate agent, maybe at thispoint, and then put it back on
the market.
So, selling your home in Fernyisn't about luck.

(08:24):
It's about having the correctstrategy by pricing it right,
preparing it well, and usingeffective marketing, you'll
attract serious buyers and closethe deal sooner than you think.
