Choosing An Agent

The decision to list your property can be one of the most difficult and complex you’ll ever make. However, once you’ve made that decisions, the process of selling can be smooth and stress free. It all depends on the agent you choose. Choosing an agent who lives and works full time in Point Roberts versus one who comes from another part of the state can make an enormous difference on your experience. Boundary Bay Realty focuses exclusively on Point Roberts which translates into feet on the ground and expertise you can trust.

Timing

Is this the best time to sell? Selling rarely occurs at market peaks so personal circumstances will generally dictate timing. The reasons for selling can vary dramatically, but once you’ve decided to sell the best way to deal with current market conditions is to price your property appropriately. Overpricing can lead to stagnant listings and under-pricing can leave money on the table. The next step is to figure out what your property is worth.

Determining Your Property’s Value

One of the first questions asked by property owners is “What is my property worth?”. The best way to determine the market value is to use recent comparable sales within the market. Using a comparable sales analysis allows you to determine what the market is willing to bear for similar properties and helps to determine the optimal listing price.

Understanding The Documents

There will always be paperwork involved in the selling process. With digital signature platforms it is easy to sign documents without you having any idea of their contents. I believe that each client should know what they’re signing and should be encouraged to ask questions about each document. Putting in this extra time to review documents can be time consuming but can save you from surprises later on in the process.
