Don't just sell your home – sell it well!

Whether you're selling your home because it's time for an upgrade, or because it's time to scale back a little, you naturally want & deserve the highest possible price. Getting top dollar for your property is a bit of a science because it requires good timing, a sound understanding of market trends & buyer motivations – & general business smarts. We know how it works & can help you get a great return on your investment, quickly & smoothly.

Here's how we do it

• We'll set up an initial meeting at your house to discuss your needs, motivations & timelines – & so we can see your property first-hand
• We'll walk you through the process so you'll know exactly what to expect every step of the way
• Together we can determine what minor repairs, or fixtures & furnishings will help boost the value of your house, & which ones should be replaced or removed, if any
• We'll prepare a comparative market analysis for your home & neighbourhood & recommend a list price
• We'll give you tips for how to increase the perceived value of your house
• We'll cover the cost of a "Staging Professional", if required, to present your home in the best possible light
• We'll have professional photographs of your home taken, & prepare a virtual tour
• We'll list your house on multiple websites including both the Ottawa & national MLS® websites, the Ottawa Real-Estate Board, REALTOR.ca & of course, on royallepage.ca & debanddave.ca to expose the property to thousands of other real-estate agents & buyers across the country
• We'll promote the sale in a variety of other ways including newspaper ads, open houses, feature sheets, online listings & personal sales at social networking events
• We'll continually seek feedback from showings & pass it on to you
• We'll help you evaluate offers, review any conditions, handle negotiations & prepare counter-offers.

Put Deb & Dave on the job

We are seasoned real-estate representatives, & we both have a long history of success with many satisfied clients, mainly because we're motivated by a love of what we do – so we do it well. Dave is a Royal LePage "Diamond Award" recipient, too, meaning he falls into the top 3% for Royal LePage in Canada.

Setting the price

Pricing a property, properly, is critical. If you price it too low, you won't get what you deserve, & if you price it too high, you can lose out on a speedy transaction. A properly priced house can attract competitive bidders & drive the price up. Little enhancements such as a new coat of paint, upgraded fixtures, windows & doors – & good lighting – can go a long way, too, in driving up the sale price.

The open house

Open houses & private showings accomplish more than just putting your property on display. They also generate valuable feedback about potential buyer concerns, likes & dislikes – & this tells us what to improve upon going forward. Sometimes, after an open house, we even see opportunities to adjust the price.
