Price is the single biggest lever in a sale. Set it right and the first week does the heavy lifting; set it too high and the home goes stale while newer listings pass it by. The first seven to ten days on market matter most.

Start with an instant estimate, then get a hand-built comparative market analysis (CMA) from Brian using the most recent comparable sales on your street.

Before anything goes public, sit down with Brian to walk through the whole process, so there are no surprises later. Together you will review the listing agreement, the pricing strategy, and the timeline, and go over what each document and step means.

From there, Brian coordinates the details on your behalf. He arranges the professional photography, measurements, and floor plan, and lines up the prep so your home is ready to launch. You leave the meeting knowing exactly what happens next and when.

Buyers pay for how a home feels. A weekend of focused prep often returns far more than it costs.

• Declutter and depersonalize so buyers picture their own life here.
• Deep clean, including windows, carpets, and grout.
• Handle small repairs and touch-up paint.
• Boost curb appeal: tidy the entry, trim the yard, add light.
• Stage the key rooms so each one reads at a glance.

Your home launches with professional photos, accurate measurements, and a listing on the MLS and Realtor.ca, backed by targeted online marketing. We watch buyer activity closely in that critical first week and adjust while attention is highest.

An offer is more than a price. Terms matter just as much: the deposit, the completion and possession dates, what is included, and any conditions. You can accept, counter, or decline. Brian negotiates the whole package to protect your bottom line and your timeline.

Most offers include conditions, called subjects, such as financing and inspection. The buyer has a set window to satisfy them by the subject removal date. Once the buyer signs off and removes subjects, the sale is firm and binding.

A BC sale turns on a few key dates:

• Acceptance: both parties sign the Contract of Purchase and Sale.
• Subject removal: the buyer's due-diligence deadline; the deal goes firm after this.
• Completion: legal ownership and funds transfer, the title registers at the Land Title Office, and your mortgage is discharged.
• Adjustment: prepaid property taxes, strata fees, and utilities are prorated between you and the buyer.
• Possession: the buyer gets the keys, usually one to two days after completion.

Plan for total selling costs in the range of 3% to 6% of the sale price. The main pieces:

From listing to closing, most sales run 30 to 90 days, depending on pricing, preparation, and the season. Sharp pricing and strong presentation are what shorten that window.
