It’s important to be well prepared when selling a home in Montreal. Ask yourself these questions before selling your property to make sure you sell the right way!
How much will the renovations cost?
When you sell a home in Montreal, you inevitably have to renovate it as well. Whether you’ve just got the little things to do (like patching holes in the walls) or you’ve got a major job ahead of you (like re-roofing), it could end up costing more than you expected. Indeed, the cost of work often snowballs, as one small repair leads to another, then another, then another. If you decide to advertise your home for sale on the market, renovating is hyper-important. This will allow you to present your home in the best possible light. If you leave out several small jobs, your buyers may wonder what else won’t work. If you sell your home directly to the Vendre Maison Vite team, you won’t have to do any renovations. We buy the properties as they are. This will save you time and money.
Can you afford to wait?
Owning a home costs money. Maintenance, repairs, electricity, insurance and taxes can add up to a lot of money, not to mention the cost of your mortgage if you have one! The longer you keep the property you don’t want, the more it will cost you. Any investor will tell you: Once you’ve decided to sell, it’s best to act fast.
What is the real value of your home?
Many people have an unrealistic number in mind regarding the value of their home. Sometimes you see a house similar to yours sold, and you take it for granted that your house will easily sell for the same price. This is not always the case. Other variables such as work to be done, market demand and variable interest rates can have a considerable impact on the value of your property. The Vendre Maison Vite team can help you get a realistic idea of your property’s value, and then find the best selling method for your Montreal home.
Do you know all the fees you’ll have to pay to sell your Montreal home?
In addition to work and carrying costs, home sellers must pay several other fees when selling through an agent in Montreal. Often, owners end up paying additional promotion fees or spending on home staging, professional cleaning or landscaping services. When a house doesn’t sell immediately on the traditional market, its owners often end up spending a fair amount of money to make the property more attractive.
Advertise with an agent, yourself or opt for direct sales?
Once you know how much your home is really worth, you can subtract renovation costs, carrying costs, commissions and all the other expenses associated with selling a home in Montreal. This way, you can determine which method (a direct sale to the Vendre Maison Vite team, a traditional advertisement or a property for sale by a private individual) is best for you. No two properties are alike. That’s why we need to take the time to compare our options before deciding on a sales method!
