Selling Your Home
Buying and selling a home are tricky waters to navigate.
Click below to see how Ken will sell your home or
property at the best possible price.
To get the right asking price for your house, you need extensive knowledge of the local market and a sound pricing strategy. List too high and few buyers will see it. List low and you could be leaving thousands of dollars on the table.
I keep continually up-to-date on the Greater Hamilton housing market – not only what houses are selling for but which sales were overinflated or undervalued. When it comes to pricing I use my own value measurement system based on MPAC appraisal data, appreciation rates and pricing trends. Why? Because I know setting the right asking price takes more than a gut feeling or a look down the street. When we sit down to look at pricing, I want you to have confidence that your house is valued properly using a strategy that has the data to back it up.
You may think that, with online technology and a hot market, it’s easy to attract buyers. It’s true that, right now, houses in Hamilton are going like hotcakes. Good news for sellers, right? Yes, except if you run into an unqualified buyer.
Imagine being ready to sell, putting out an asking price and getting it quickly. Or, better, getting more than you asked for! Everything’s fine, the closing date is set and suddenly your buyer can’t come up with the money. You’ve already bought your new home, but now your buyer’s financing fell through. Everything grinds to a halt. What do you do now with two homes? You have to cancel the movers, meet again with your bank and set up another round of meetings with the lawyers. What a mess. The sad thing is, I’ve seen it happen far too often.
My job is to get the right buyers to see your house, fall in love with it, and make a good offer. As an expert in the local market, I can create a marketing strategy and make the right contacts so that your listing is shown to all the right people. I know how to attract serious buyers with serious offers.
As your agent, I work hard to keep all that stress away from you – taking care of the details of each viewing and open house so you don’t have to. I’m also very familiar with what potential buyers want to see, hear and smell and what they don’t. So whether this is your first time or fifth, I’ll give you guidance on what you can do to help motivate potential buyers to make an offer, manage every aspect your viewings and proudly show buyers your home’s great qualities.
Most people don’t like negotiating, especially in high-pressure situations. You’ve got to remember not only to think of the prices being offered, but also the conditions. If you’re not familiar with legal conditions for housing, you can run into trouble or risk losing out on key items if you’re not careful.
I know the process. I’m familiar with all the documents and all the steps involved in managing offers and conditions. And I know how to negotiate. As your agent, it’s my job to explain things that aren’t clear so that you know exactly where things are at and what’s being offered, and to take all the pressure off during negotiations.
My goal is simple: make your sale and move a smooth process. I even go so far as to consider how your pets will handle the transition! I’ll keep track of any conditions that were part of the sale to make sure they are met so that you and your buyer are satisfied.
After we’ve navigated all that together, you might think that’s it. But this is a journey I love guiding people through and I’m proud to say that many clients have been repeat customers, referred their families and friends, and even kept in touch years later.
