Step 1 — Strategy

Free Home Valuation
& Pricing Strategy

Getting the price right from day one is the single most important thing you can do. Too high and buyers skip your home. Too low and you leave money on the table. I run a full Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) — pulling recent sales, active competition, and market trends — so we land on the number that attracts the most buyers and gets you top dollar.

Comparative Market Analysis
Recent sold comparables within 1 km, adjusted for size, age, condition, and features.
Active Competition
What buyers are comparing your home against right now — and how to stand out.
Days on Market Trends
How fast the market is moving and where buyer demand is strongest.
Pricing Strategy
List at market, under-list for competition, or price for a specific timeline — I'll advise on what works best for your situation.
🎯 Kris's Tip

Homes priced right from the start sell 3× faster and for more money than homes that sit on the market and get reduced. We don't chase the market — we lead it.

Step 2 — Preparation

Get Your Home
Show-Ready

Buyers decide within 30 seconds of walking in. Small investments in preparation consistently deliver big returns — professionally staged homes sell for up to 10% more. I'll walk through your home with you and give you a clear action plan so you're not spending money on things that don't matter.

  • Deep clean every room, including windows, baseboards, and appliances
  • Declutter and depersonalize — let buyers picture their life there
  • Touch-up paint, fix minor defects (dripping faucets, squeaky doors)
  • Boost curb appeal: fresh mulch, trimmed hedges, clean front entrance
  • Staging consultation (full staging or strategic furniture arrangement)
  • Pre-listing inspection if recommended — no surprises at conditions time
🎯 Kris's Tip

I have a trusted list of affordable tradespeople, stagers, and cleaners. You don't need to stress about finding anyone — I'll connect you and coordinate the timeline so we're ready to list on schedule.

Step 3 — Marketing

Maximum Exposure
to Qualified Buyers

95% of buyers start their search online. Your listing needs to stop the scroll. I use a multi-channel marketing strategy that puts your home in front of thousands of active buyers — not just people browsing, but people ready to buy.

Professional Photography
HDR photos, twilight shots, and a floor plan — the highest-click listings in any price range.
MLS + Paragon
Full FVREB MLS listing with maximum exposure to every buyer's agent in the Lower Mainland.
Social Media Ads
Targeted Facebook & Instagram campaigns reaching buyers in your price range and area.
YouTube & Video Tour
Video walkthroughs for out-of-town and presale buyers who want to see before they visit.
Agent Network
Direct outreach to top buyer's agents across Surrey, Langley, Burnaby, and the Valley.
Open Houses
Strategically scheduled when buyer traffic is highest — I'll handle everything.
🎯 Kris's Tip

The first 7 days on market are everything. That's when buyer activity is highest. We launch with a full marketing campaign so we hit the ground running — not slowly ramping up while your listing goes stale.

Step 4 — Showings

Showings &
Open Houses

Once we're live, buyers and their agents will start booking showings. I coordinate everything so it's as smooth and low-stress as possible for you. Every showing is tracked, every agent is followed up with, and I give you regular updates on buyer feedback so we can adjust strategy if needed.

Flexible Scheduling
I work around your schedule to accommodate as many showings as possible without disrupting your life.
Showing Feedback
After every showing I follow up with the buyer's agent and relay their feedback to you.
Open Houses
Weekend open houses drive foot traffic, create urgency, and can generate competing offers.
Secure Access
Tracked lockbox access so agents can show whenever a buyer is ready — no missed opportunities.
🎯 Kris's Tip

During showings: leave the home. Buyers need to picture themselves living there, and they won't open up in front of the owner. Take the kids and pets out — it makes a real difference.

Step 5 — Negotiation

Reviewing Offers &
Negotiating Your Best Deal

This is where having an experienced agent pays off. Not all offers are created equal — price is just one piece. I'll break down every offer: deposit amount, completion date, subject conditions, inclusions, and any other terms that could affect you. Then I'll negotiate hard to get you the best possible outcome.

  • Review offer price, deposit amount, and completion date
  • Evaluate subject conditions (financing, inspection, strata docs)
  • Counter-offer strategy — price, terms, or both
  • Multiple offer management — how to handle competing bids
  • Subject removal — confirming buyer financing is solid
  • Firm sale — we're accepted and heading to completion
🎯 Kris's Tip

A clean offer with a large deposit and no conditions can be worth more than a higher-priced offer full of subjects. I'll help you see the whole picture — not just the number at the top.

Step 6 — Closing

Closing Day &
Getting You Paid

After subjects are removed, your lawyer handles the legal transfer. I stay involved through the entire process — coordinating with your lawyer, the buyer's agent, and your bank — so there are no last-minute surprises. On possession day, you hand over the keys and the funds land in your account.

Lawyer / Notary
I can refer you to a trusted conveyancing lawyer if you don't have one — fast, experienced, and fairly priced.
Adjustments & Utilities
Property taxes, strata fees, and utilities are pro-rated to your completion date — your lawyer handles this automatically.
Moving Out
Vacant by possession date, swept clean, and all inclusions left as agreed. I'll send you a pre-possession checklist.
Keys & Funds
Your lawyer releases the funds once title transfers. You're done — with money in hand.
🎯 Kris's Tip

Don't forget: you'll need to report the sale to CRA the following tax year. If this wasn't your principal residence the full time you owned it, capital gains or the BC flipping tax may apply. Talk to your accountant — I can refer one if needed.
