Selling is equal parts strategy and reassurance. You get a price built on real evidence, marketing that reaches the buyers who are actually looking, and someone who keeps you in the loop from the first walkthrough to closing day. Serving Mitchell, Stratford, St. Marys, Listowel, Seaforth and the surrounding communities.
I want you to feel confident, informed, and cared for from the first conversation to closing day. Real estate can feel overwhelming, so my job is to make it feel organized, seamless, and honestly enjoyable.
Homes I have listed and sold across Huron-Perth. Real numbers go in here before launch.
Every listing gets a professionally produced walkthrough, not a phone video. Buyers tour the home before they ever book a showing, which means the people who do come through are serious about it.
No packages, no upgrades, no add on fees for the things that should be standard.
Built from homes that have actually sold near you in the last ninety days. You see the comparables, so the number never feels like a guess.
We walk room by room and I tell you what’s worth fixing, what to pack away early, and what you can happily leave exactly as it is.
Bright, properly shot images that make people stop scrolling. Most buyers decide whether to book a showing from the first three photos.
A full walkthrough and a measured floor plan so buyers understand the layout before they arrive, which means the showings you get are the serious ones.
MLS, social, email to my buyer list, and paid promotion aimed at people already searching your community rather than the whole province.
You hear from me whether the news is good or quiet. Every showing gets reported back with the feedback exactly as it came in.
Offers explained in plain language, including the conditions people gloss over, then negotiated with your goals in front of me rather than a quick close.
Years of transaction administration behind me. Deadlines, waivers, and lawyer coordination get tracked so nothing slips between firm and closing.
Contractors, movers, questions about your next place. I don’t disappear the day the sign comes down.
The first two weeks bring the most attention your home will ever get. Where you start decides what happens with that attention.
Serious buyers filter past it, showings stay quiet, and by the time you reduce, the market has already decided something must be wrong with it.
You reach every buyer who should be seeing your home in the first week, showings stack up, and competition does the negotiating for you.
It sells quickly, which feels good until you realize the offers all arrived at once because you left room on the table.
Six steps, in order, so nothing catches you off guard between our first conversation and closing day.
We tour the home, talk about your timeline, your number, and where you’re heading next. There’s no pressure to list that day, and no charge if you decide the timing isn’t right.
I bring the recent sales, the active competition, and a recommended range. You’ll understand exactly how we landed there before you agree to anything.
A prep list in priority order, with honest guidance on which fixes return money and which ones simply don’t. I’ll help you decide what’s worth your weekend.
Photography, video, floor plans, and the full marketing launch. Everything goes out together so your home hits the market with momentum instead of trickling out.
I report back after every showing and we review what buyers are responding to. If something needs adjusting, we talk about it early rather than waiting it out.
Every offer explained in plain language. Then I stay on top of the paperwork and your lawyer right through to keys.
Years in new construction, more than 100 new home transactions, and a build of my own that I designed and oversaw start to finish. That background quietly shows up in four places during your sale.
I know which improvements a buyer will genuinely pay more for and which ones simply made your life nicer while you lived there.
Some finishes cost you money. Others are just not the buyer’s preference. Knowing the difference stops you renovating for no reason.
When a buyer is weighing your home against a new build, I can explain what yours does better and what a build would really cost them.
I flag what an inspection is likely to turn up before we list, so it never becomes a negotiating tool against you halfway through.
Online estimates don’t know your kitchen was redone, or what the house down the street actually sold for. I do. Send me the address and I’ll put a real number together for you, personally.
The four week timeline I give my own clients. What to fix, what to skip, what to pack away, and the small things that quietly cost you money on offer day.
Commission and any marketing costs are agreed in writing before your home ever hits the market, and I’ll walk you through exactly what each piece covers. You’ll also want to budget for legal fees and, if you have a mortgage, a possible discharge or transfer cost. I’ll give you a full estimate of your net proceeds early so there are no surprises at closing.
It depends on your finances and how much uncertainty you can live with. Selling first means you know your budget exactly but you may need a short term rental or a longer closing. Buying first is less stressful to move but carries risk if your current home takes longer than expected. We’ll look at your situation and the current pace of the market together before you commit either way.
It varies by community, price point, and season. Rather than quoting an average, I’ll show you how long comparable homes near you have actually taken over the last few months, and we’ll build your timeline from that.
Usually not. Big renovations rarely return what they cost right before a sale. Paint, decluttering, deep cleaning, and small repairs almost always do. I’ll give you a prioritized list and tell you honestly where to stop.
That’s completely fine, and it’s most of the conversations I have. I’m happy to give you a value now, tell you what I’d do to prepare, and check back in whenever makes sense for you. There’s no obligation and no charge for any of it.
No. It’s free, it’s prepared by me rather than generated automatically, and there’s no expectation that you list with me afterward.
