Selling a home can quickly become expensive. That said, there are ways to save money when trying to sell a home in the Montreal area. In our latest article, we explore some of these methods that will help you save money on the sale of your home in Quebec!
When selling a home in Montreal, every dollar counts. There are some normal costs that you can avoid. There are also alternative sales methods that will keep more money in your pocket. Before signing an exclusivity contract, find out what a direct sale can do for you! Read on to find out more!
Sell your house as is
Selling your home without renovating it could save you a small fortune. Owners often take it upon themselves to do some work before advertising their property for sale, to make it more competitive on the market. Then, once they’ve found a buyer and the house has been inspected and appraised, additional work is negotiated. Renovation costs can then snowball, and end up being much higher than you expected. If you deal with a cash home buyer instead, you won’t be subject to renovation, inspection or appraisal fees. That way, you can save money and sell your property without worrying about additional costs. No surprise expenses or hidden costs you weren’t prepared for. Not only will you save on unexpected expenses, you’ll also save on household expenses. We take care of everything, from pick-up to upgrades and repairs. Thanks to a simple, straightforward sales process, you can sell your Montreal home without having to invest any effort, money or hassle.
Avoid going through an agent
By avoiding an intermediary to sell, you could save up to 6% of your selling price and keep this money in your pocket. If you choose to sell directly to the Vendre Maison Vite team, you won’t have to pay any commissions or other fees. We never charge for our services. While it’s true that some agents are excellent at what they do, this isn’t always the case. For some, paying commissions means throwing thousands of dollars out the window. If you decide to sell your home directly to a company like Vendre Maison Vite, you can save time and money while avoiding all the detours you might encounter when advertising your home for sale on the traditional market. Not all agents are bad, but in some cases in Montreal, a fast, direct sale is the most effective and advantageous sales method for a seller.
Sell fast
For each day that you are still the owner, you will have to pay certain fees. Electricity, taxes, insurance, mortgage and maintenance are just some of the expenses incurred by your property. Although the amount may vary from one property to another, ownership costs are generally in the thousands of dollars. That’s why all real estate investors agree on one thing: the faster we sell, the more money we can keep in our pockets. Indeed, carrying costs can quickly eat into the profits expected from the sale. Advertising a home for sale on the traditional market and closing a sale can take months. However, if you sell your home directly to the Vendre Maison Vite team, you can close in just a few days, and save several thousand dollars in the process.
Avoid marketing and photography costs
When you sell a house on the traditional market, you have to promote it. Indeed, it’s easy to tell the good ads from the bad. Effective ads catch the eye of potential buyers thanks to professionally taken quality photos and skilfully applied home staging techniques. Of course, the house must first be thoroughly cleaned. And it’s even better if a team of professionals takes care of it. Buying visibility packages, for both online and print ads, can be expensive, but it will certainly allow more potential buyers to find out about your property. Cleaning, photography, home staging and visibility packages can be expensive. What’s more, you’ll most likely have to pay out-of-pocket for all these promotional services. On the other hand, if you sell directly to a buyer who’s ready to close right away, you’ll avoid all those promotional costs. So you can keep as much money as possible in your pocket.
Team up with a cash home buyer
As you’ve seen from the tips above, selling your home directly to a professional buyer is a great way to save money and sell quickly.

So you can plan ahead. You’ll know what to expect. Selling a Montreal home doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive.
