HOME EVALUATION

GOOD NEWS
The Internet has been a great problem–solver for home sellers. They can start to consider a home sale much earlier, spend more time on research, and gather more information to see how their home might be positioned in the current market.

GREAT NEWS
I am an experienced Realtor ® in the Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto GTA real estate markets, and I want to give you a better valuation estimate through actual sales data. If you'll fill in some home information in the form on this page, I'll: Develop a market report of similar homes to yours in your neighborhood that have sold recently. Send you that report with details and photos of the homes, as well as the prices at which they were listed and finally sold. Give you my interpretation of the current market for homes like yours, near yours, and in your home's price range.

IMPORTANCE OF A HOME EVALUATION

Every buyer who sees your home will be comparing it to the competition in your area and price range. How your home compares is critical to how soon you sell it and at what price. I'm going to work with you in several areas of concern:

Interior features & characteristics

While the number of bedrooms and baths are not something you'll be changing to compete better with other homes, you do need to objectively compare them in order to end up with a listing price that will get your property sold. Some things I can consider for improvements, others I just need to know how your home compares to other homes buyers will be seeing. Other features/characteristics that I would consider:

• Floor plan
• Built date and obsolescence
• Floors & walls condition, paint, etc.
• Kitchen features
• Room sizes
• Lighting, skylights, windows

Exterior
That “curb appeal” thing really does mean something. When a prospective buyer first drives up in front of your home, they're going to get a first impression that is very important. I help you to look at things like landscaping, exterior paint and condition. Here is an area in which small expenditures can yield big results. It's a fact that some buyers will ask to leave without ever stepping across the threshold if they get a bad first curb appeal impression.

Condition
Minor repairs can also make a major difference. Many buyers assume that a need for minor repairs indicates a general lack of fundamental maintenance over time. They'll discount their offer, if they make one, thinking they'll have a lot of work to do to bring the home to a good condition. So, I'm honest with you about things that I see and buyers will see and consider in their evaluation. From cracked window panes to scarred walls or doors, we'll let you know what we believe is important and make suggestions.

I'm here to make sure that your home enters the market in the very best competitive position possible. A thorough and objective evaluation is an important step. Fill in the form on the right and get the real story on what your home is worth!
