The Realty World Legacy 8-Step Selling Process

01

Initial Consultation & Strategic Home Evaluation

Our journey together begins with a no-obligation consultation. We take the time to understand your unique goals, financial objectives, and desired timeline.

  • Understanding Your Needs: We discuss your motivations for selling and what you hope to achieve.
  • In-Depth Property Review: We conduct a thorough walkthrough of your home, noting its unique features, upgrades, and overall condition.
  • Free, No-Obligation Home Valuation: Using our deep knowledge of the Ontario market and a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), we provide you with an accurate, data-driven valuation.
02

Strategic Pricing & Listing Agreement

Pricing your home correctly from the start is the single most important factor in a successful sale.

  • Data-Driven Pricing Strategy: We analyze recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood, current market trends, and your property's unique value proposition.
  • Listing Agreement: We walk you through the listing agreement, explaining all terms and conditions in plain language.
03

Preparing Your Home for Sale (Staging)

First impressions are everything. A well-staged home can sell for up to 20% more than a non-staged one.

  • Decluttering & Depersonalizing: We provide guidance on creating a clean, spacious environment.
  • Repairs & Minor Upgrades: We identify small, cost-effective repairs and upgrades that yield significant ROI.
  • Professional Staging Consultation: We connect you with our network of professional stagers.
