We start with an in-person meeting at your home. I get to know your motivation for moving and your timeline, and if you're buying another home in the area, we plan for that too.

We'll tour your home together. I'll ask what you've loved about it, about upgrades you've made and any payment plans on items like the furnace and AC. I use all of this to value your home, and I'll give you a pre-listing package that explains how to get it ready for market.

Why now? Failing to plan is planning to fail. Your timeline, and whether you need to buy, sets how fast we move.

Next I prepare your Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which shows what your home is worth, factoring in your upgrades and location. If there are ways to increase its value, I'll go over them with you.

At a second meeting I present the CMA and my added value package, we sign the listing agreement, and we decide whether to buy or sell first. I'll connect you with a trusted lender if you need one.

Why now? Your home's value sets your moving budget, and I want to make sure we're maximizing it.

We make the upgrades we decided on. I can call all the tradespeople; all you need to do is open the door. I'll also organize a stager to make your home photo-ready.

Then a top-notch photographer captures HD photos and video. Your home gets "just listed" postcards in the neighbourhood, open houses, beautiful feature sheets, MLS exposure and social media promotion.

Why now? Properly staged and prepped homes sell faster and for more. A few simple tweaks go a long way.

As people visit, I give you regular feedback. When offers come in, I go over the assets and drawbacks of each one with you, so we can accept, counter or reject with confidence. Once conditions are removed, the sold sign goes up!

If you're buying after selling, I make sure the offer we accept gives you enough time to buy, and we go hunting for your next home.

Why now? This is the exciting part. All the work has paid off, and your next chapter is close.

While you pack, I take care of the paperwork and coordinate with banks and lawyers. I'll schedule walkthroughs on both homes to make sure each is in the condition it was bought or sold in.

On closing day you'll get your keys, and I'll have pizza delivered, because nobody wants to cook while everything is in boxes. And I'm always just a call or text away.

Why now? You're settled in a home you love.
