Selling
Your home
There are a million different reasons why people sell their homes, but every seller has one thing in common: the desire to get as much money as possible from their existing residence as quickly and as hassle-free as possible. (If, on the other hand, it is an investment property, there will likely be additional tax implications which Jasmin can help you navigate.)
Before you begin the selling process, we strongly recommend evaluating why you’re moving. Do you have too few rooms, or too many? Has your job moved to another city and you’re relocating? Are the neighbours driving you away? Or are you simply looking for a change? A complete analysis of your current position will set a good foundation for your next home hunt.
That’s a big question.
The answer depends on a few key things: your finances, market conditions, and timing.
Buying before selling can mean carrying two mortgages. Selling first might leave you scrambling to find your next home. Both options have pros and cons.
The best approach? Let’s sit down together, talk through your goals, and create a plan that fits your situation. We’ll figure out the right move—together.

More Sellable
While we all believe that our home is our castle, our personal tastes may not appeal to everyone. Jasmin will work with you to give you an impartial analysis of your home – how it relates to other “competing” homes on the market and how your home reflects current design and style trends. She will also take a good look at the general condition and upkeep of your dwelling.
Overall, Jasmin will work with you to position your home on the market so that your sales experience will take place as seamless as possible.

Understand Market Conditions
The real estate market is in constant flux, not only as a whole, but also when it comes to interest rates, property taxes and bidding wars. Knowing what is going on in the overall and local real estate markets will help you understand how these conditions can affect the sale of your home.
We’ve designed the following comparison to help give you an overview of the three significant market positions. When you meet with Jasmin, ask about the current state of the market.
Buyers’ market
The supply of homes on the market exceeds demand.
Characteristics: High inventory of homes. Few buyers compared to availability. Homes usually stay on the market longer. Prices are stable or perhaps dropping.
Implications: Buyers spend more time looking for a home, and when they negotiate, they usually have more leverage.
Sellers’ market
The number of potential buyers exceeds the supply of homes on the market.
Characteristics: There is a smaller inventory of homes with many buyers. Homes sell quickly. Prices usually increase.
Implications: Prices may be higher or perhaps climbing. Buying decisions must be made quickly. Conditional offers may be rejected.
Balanced Market
The number of homes on the market is roughly equal to the demand.
Characteristics: Demand equals supply. Sellers accept reasonable offers. Homes sell within a reasonable time period. Prices generally remain stable.
Implications: There is less tension among buyers and sellers. There is a reasonable number of homes to choose from.
Closing the Sale
Closing is an exciting and busy time—you’re almost at the finish line! This is your moment to pack up, clean thoroughly, and leave the home in great shape for its new owners. Be sure not to take anything included in the sale, like light fixtures or appliances, unless otherwise agreed. Add some final touches like patching small holes or touching up paint, and double-check that everything is in working order. Keys are typically handed over via your lawyer or REALTOR® once the deal officially closes. It’s a big milestone worth celebrating!
Important things to keep in mind: The home must be in the same condition as when it was sold. If something serious happens before closing, you’re responsible for informing the buyer—they may choose to walk away or move forward and claim insurance. Repairs shouldn’t be made without the buyer’s input. Once the agreement is signed, both parties are legally bound to close. If either side backs out, legal consequences may follow, including claims on the deposit or potential lawsuits.
