Why use an agent?
Selling a home takes more than just putting a "for sale" sign out front. You need an agent with experience and training to help you determine the right price, come up with an effective marketing strategy, and anticipate and solve any problems that come up during the selling process. A real estate professional can help you with every part of selling your home, and offer you a smoother, hassle-free experience.

When you’re selling your home, there are a number of advantages to working with an agent:

• He/she knows real estate values in your neighbourhood and will help price your home competitively by preparing a market analysis of homes that have sold, competing homes that are still on the market and homes that were on the market but didn’t sell.
• He/she will establish a marketing strategy for your home, ensuring that it’s exposed to as many potential buyers as possible.
• He/she takes care of the tasks involved in selling a house, ensuring that the transaction is simple and low-stress for you.
• He/she is an expert in the home selling process and will advise you of your rights, options and obligations.
• He/she is an experienced negotiator and will work for you to get you the best possible price.
