For My Sellers

Real estate expertise and effective marketing is essential when it comes to selling a property for the best return on investment and with terms that leave you feeling confident and comfortable about the sale. 

To begin the process of selling your home, I'll complete an extensive home evaluation and discuss with you the current market conditions and comparable home prices.  At this initial meeting, we will also develop a marketing plan that is best suited to your specific needs to maximize your exposure and potential buying pool for your unique property.

Throughout the selling process, I will always provide you with constant communication, honest answers to your questions, and access to a trusted network of professionals including lawyers, inspectors, surveyors and trades people. As a member of both the Barrie and Toronto real estate boards, your property will be listed on both boards exposing it to over 50,000 Realtors® across Simcoe County and the GTA.

As a valued client of mine, you will always receive the following...
