It’s no secret that selling a home in Montreal is one of the most important transactions in the life of a real estate owner.

Before you openly promote your home and bring in potential buyers, there are a few things you should do. At Vendre Maison Vite, we’ve learned over the years that these little things will increase your chances of selling quickly and making a good profit.

Sell your Montreal home faster by doing these things FIRST

Clear the clutter and store family mementos

It’s a good idea to take the time to do a thorough housecleaning and depersonalize your home by putting away the family photos and other mementos you display around the house. Remove little Jonathan’s sports medals and the magnetic children’s drawings on the fridge. It may seem strange at first, but potential buyers need a space they can imagine themselves living in. If the fridge is covered with photos and memorabilia, it will be harder for your buyers to imagine their own objects in it.

Set the right price

While it may be easy to determine how much you’d like to receive in exchange for your home, it’s quite complex to determine a price when industry standards are taken into account to determine the property’s true market value. You need to be aware that what you want for your home and what people are willing to pay for it are two different things.

Even if potential buyers are numerous, they are better informed than ever. In fact, the figures tell us that over 90% of home buyers have found their future property on the Internet. That’s why it’s very important never to ask for a higher price than the one advertised online (or else you’ll have to be able to provide your buyers with an excellent reason to raise your price).

Make your property more attractive

In theory, you could be receiving calls from potential buyers as soon as you post an ad. Studies show that over 70% of potential homebuyers will visit a property within 3 to 6 months of advertising it. However, if you’re not getting the interest you want, there are a few things you can do to make the house more attractive to potential buyers.

Things like… 

• 

  Look after your yard. It’s a good idea to trim shrubs and mow the lawn regularly. You could even go so far as to replace your flowers with new ones.

• Renovate or repaint your home. It’s more important than you think.
• Include your furniture in the sale if your buyer so desires.

The problem with “retail” buyers is that most of them find it hard to ignore minor ugliness. While it’s true that they can repaint after the purchase or redo the yard, their first impression won’t leave them. Some buyers simply can’t get past that first unpleasant glance.

Don’t have the time or money to do the renovations yourself? Selling a house that has been neglected for a long time can take a long time. Fortunately, there are companies in Montreal, Quebec that specialize in buying properties. Such is the case with Vendre Maison Vite. We can buy your home quickly, for cash, and you won’t have to do any renovations. We’ll take care of everything, at our own expense.

Have your property inspected

To avoid being surprised by the discovery of problems that need to be addressed before the sale closes, have an inspection carried out before potential buyers visit your property. Fix each of the problems identified by the experts. The fewer problems your home has, the faster it will sell.

If you’d like to be referred to an excellent Montreal home inspection company, send us an e-mail at  or call 514-320-1000. We’ll be happy to give you the names of a few reputable inspectors who can help you.

Organize your paperwork

Although this step is often ignored by salespeople, it is very important. Indeed, buyers want to know everything about a home before they take responsibility for it. Who usually maintains the grounds and how often? When was the last time the heating system was serviced? Your buyers will probably ask you these questions, and many others.
