Selling a Home in Waterloo Region


My goal is not simply to sell your house, but to help you achieve the best price attainable, in the shortest period of time. We have services that can make the sale of your home as stress-free and quick as possible.

Did you know that within only 15 seconds a buyer has developed an opinion of your property? I can give you suggestions to maximize this first impression, as simple as oiling a squeaky gate to rearranging furniture so your rooms look larger.  I am an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP®) Real Estate Agent - ask me how my experience can help you sell faster and for more money!

 

 

 

Selling your home is an involved process that affects your family and your future.  Before you begin this process, you'll want to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information.  When should you sell?  How do you get the best price? What kinds of renovations should be made prior to the sale? 

These home selling reports will assist you in answering the many questions that arise during the home selling process.  When you're armed with the right information, and an experienced real estate professional, you'll be closer to reaching your goal - selling your home fast, and for the best price.

"We couldn't have been more pleased with Julie. She helped us sell our house on the first day on the market! Julie was professional and polished from the day we met her. She has a fantastic website which intially attracted us to her services. Upon meeting her and having her walk through we knew that Julie was the agent that would get us the best value for our house. Julie went that extra mile to help us prepare our house for sale by suggesting small fix ups that make a big difference and even helped stage our house so we could really make it shine. Thank you Julie for being so awesome at your job!"

New StreetText Service!

I now offer StreetText. Buyers love to text. When they drive by your listing and see our For Sale sign with the Street Text sign topper, the buyer texts the code for information and receives an instant text containing listing details.  The buyers get to keep the property info on their phone and can now share your listing with friends and family. They will also get a great link to a webpage displaying your listing with photos and more information. Capture buyer's interest immediately and get your property noticed!

Knowledge is power!

I can provide a free comparative market evaluation, which is an informal estimate of market value, based on the sales of similar properties. This analysis will provide you with the information you need to assist you in determining the correct asking price. CMAs are reports comparing the prices of recently sold homes that are similar to yours in terms of location, style and amenities.

To provide a more detailed Comparative Market Analysis, I would be more than happy to assess your listing in person.  It is best to get your CMA after a walk-through of your home so your agent can properly compare your property to others in your neighborhood. The CMA will contain information on properties that are comparable to yours that have sold recently, properties currently on the market, and properties that have expired before being sold. It is not an appraisal.

Your home has a value to a buyer. Buyers shop around and compare values. With that understood, I will show you how to get the highest value out of your house possible.  The correct selling price of a home is the highest price that the market will bear.

Home much is my home worth?


If you are planning to sell your home within the next 3, 6, or 12 months or even years from now, it is never to soon to know the market value of possibly your most important and valued asset!

Simply enter your criteria below, and I will provide you with a speedy response. The more information given, the more accurate the evaluation. All information you provide is secure and will be kept strictly confidential.  There is no obligation.  Please indicate when you are thinking of selling and if you are moving within the Kitchener-Waterloo area or relocating outside of Kitchener-Waterloo. 

If you would like me to visit to provide a more detailed CMA, please specify in the Comments area or call me at (519) 742-5800 extension 2214.

Below, select desired reports and complete the form provided.
