Marketing Your Home

More Than a Sign on the Lawn: Sell Smarter, Not Harder

Thinking of selling your home? A “for sale” sign alone won’t cut it. Today’s market demands strategy, exposure, and a REALTOR® who knows how to get results.

A Real Marketing Plan Matters
Yes, the sign helps—but your marketing strategy drives serious exposure. Your REALTOR® will map out where, how, and to whom your home should be showcased. The better the plan, the better the results.

Be Straight with Your REALTOR®
Share everything about your home and neighbourhood—good, bad, or overlooked. What seems ordinary to you may be a major selling point for buyers. Be honest about drawbacks too; it helps price your home accurately and avoid surprises. Your REALTOR® can suggest fixes that make a real difference.

Know Your Operating Costs
Have key details ready: utility averages, repair history, upgrades, roof age, plumbing or electrical work. These aren’t just facts—they’re marketing tools.

Open Houses Still Work
Open houses can make a big difference. Give buyers space—no owners, no pets, no hovering—so they can imagine themselves living in your home.

Clean, Clear, and Clutter-Free
Declutter, deep clean, neutralise odours, and refresh paint if needed. First impressions matter—inside and out.

Helpful Extras: Financing & Closing Flexibility
Offering flexible terms—like a vendor take-back mortgage or accommodating closing dates—can make your home far more appealing and prevent lost deals.

Stay in the Loop
Your REALTOR® should update you after showings and throughout the process. Selling is a partnership—share your questions and ideas.

Bottom Line
Selling a home is more than putting up a sign. Strategy, preparation, and teamwork get results.
