Online Marketing
According to the 2003 Canadian Interactive Reid Report, 74% of Canadians have Internet access. The typical Canadian spends an average of 11.6 hours per week online. An IPSOS-Reid study also found: 63 percent of recent homebuyers, and 39 percent of purchase
intenders said they visited a home they first saw on the Internet. 25 percent of recent home buyers said they bought a house they first
saw on-line. 21 percent said they contacted a realtor they first found on-line.

Pricing Your Property
Today's buyers are comparison shoppers and are very price sensitive. They will shy away from properties that are listed too high. They too will have access to the same market data that we will provided you with. Listing above market value will more than likely sell your neighbour's property and not yours; or at the very least prevent Buyers from even visiting your listing. We will tell you "what you need to know" instead of what you may "want to hear". In the end, it is still your choice for pricing. Keep in mind that there are always other homes for sale competing with yours. We are here to help you price your home competitively to attract qualified buyers. We will show you what your property is worth through a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and a Subject Property Analysis report. Both show you a range of prices being paid for homes in your area and properties that never sold for reasons that we will discuss with you. If you complete our online form, we will send you a courtesy market analysis of your property so you can get a feel for your home's fair market value.
Our goal is to position your property at the top of every buyer’s "to see" list and to get you the quickest, most efficient and professional sale of your property at fair market value. We are here to protect your investment and legal rights. We look forward to assisting you with the sale of your home! Click here for free market analysis of your property.
