There are some myths on selling a home such as renovations. Read our article "It's not all about the renovations" to get a better understanding on how to get your home ready to sell and finding the right real estate agent to get the job done right!

Most people think that they have to do major renovations before selling their home. In most cases all it takes is a few light fixture changes, some paint, clean carpets and declutering to make the home inviting. Staging can also be done to get the house ready with a new look. Keep in mind that not all renovations will be a return on investment. Buyers may not see the same investment as the seller. When you list a home with us we walk you through our recommedations on what renovations, if any, need to be done and what the return of investment will be. The goal is getting prospective buyers into the door and making an offer that both parties can work with. When we sell your home we do our market research to find the best price that the home could sell for. Listing agents that tell you that they can get you the highest price may not do their homework. This may result in you keeping your house on the market for too long. If that happens, it may go against you, and the agent may end up selling it far less than you expect. Why choose an agent instead of selling privately? Because real estate agents have access to buyers (client database) and have the tools and experience in selling homes. They have the negotiating skills that are required to sell your home. You want an agent that will work with you to get your home ready and list it for the right price. At Modern Living Realty, we want you to be a happy client and know that you've come to the right place!

Selling a home doesn't have to be overwhelming, contact us today so we can provide you with help getting your home ready and what to expect when selling a home.

How to Pick the Real Estate Agent That's Right For You - Modern Living Realty Inc. Boutique Brokerage

Are You Making the Right Decision?

There's a little known fact about the Real Estate Business. Not all brokerages and agents work the same way. When looking for an agent to sell your home, consider these six recommendations. Let’s talk real estate!

Choosing the Right Agent

First, thing to look for when searching for an agent is to look at their Google Reviews, do they have any? How many stars do they have? Do they have recent reviews? Knowing their reputation is a must. At Modern Living Realty Brokerage, we have up-to-date reviews and all our reviews are 5 stars!

Second, do they have a large client database? When selling your home, you want to be assured that they have many prospective buyers available. Our experienced sales representatives at Modern Living Realty have a large database of satisfied buyer and seller clients.

Third, is the agent part of a small or large brokerage? Smaller brokerages are in the business of selling homes. They don't have many agents, so their focus is on building a reputation with their clients who are buying or selling a home. Larger brokerages are in the market of soliciting for new real estate agents to add to their roster. This gives people the impression that they sell a lot of homes because they have a lot of agents. This is farthest from the truth. A real estate agent must work hard to gain a good reputation. Whether they work for a small or large brokerage, the onus is on them to find you the right home or market your house for top dollar. How much support do they get from the larger brokerages? You'd be surprised. At Modern Living Realty Brokerage, we have 3 real estate sales reps and 1 Broker of Record that all work together as a team. We are a member of a think tank referral network and Brookfield Global Relocation Services. Selling homes is our business.

Fourth, does the agent have a marketing budget? Do they advertise? Do they use this to sell and advertise homes? Do they use social media to market? At Modern Living Realty Brokerage, we have a team member that markets and advertises our business and homes through social media, postal services, flyers, newsletters and marketing materials. Visit our website, blog, Facebook and Twitter to see for yourself.

Fifth, does the agent have happy sellers and buyers? At Modern Living Realty Brokerage, we have had many happy clients over the years, check out our reviews on Google and testimonials on our website. We have had many return clients over the years, that speaks for itself!

Sixth, does the agent know the housing market? At Modern Living Realty Brokerage we keep up-to-date on what's happening in the real estate market. Dawna Hamilton, Broker of Record, is a senior member of the Ottawa Real Estate Board. She keeps her clients and team members informed on market trends and what's happening. She also has a Market Evaluation Appraisal designation and an Accredited Buyer’s Representative designation. This is a wealth of shared knowledge that benefits the whole team and gives them the competitive edge on what's happening in the housing market in all areas.
