FAQs:
1. What sets us apart?
At the core is the trust and satisfaction of our clients, with a majority whom we get to know through a referral. The gratification in serving repeat and referred clients underscores our dedication to delivering exceptional service and consistent results. Our approach prioritizes efficiency, and a commitment to keeping costs and disruptions to your life streamlined, all while ensuring maximum value for you.
Being backed by a reputable brokerage significantly enhances the value of the services we provide. Choosing us to sell your home means more than selecting an agent; you're getting a dedicated team of professionals with years of experience and a proven track record of success. Your success is the driving force behind everything we do.
2. Will your listing be visible on MLS® and realtor.ca?
Your property will be given the utmost exposure and marketing attention. This includes its prominent listing on MLS® and widespread syndication on numerous websites. Our focus extends to social advertising, and we take pride in personally showcasing your property through both physical and virtual tours, attended by GTA agents representing eager buyers genuinely intrigued by your property. This holistic strategy effectively draws in motivated buyers from diverse channels, including international ones within an extensive network.
3. How much does it cost?
Discover how Harris Homes can help you save money while delivering exceptional service with our competitive commission rates. Here's what you need to know:
Full-Service Listing (when purchasing): Pay just 3.5% total commission to sell, also receive rebate ($2000) when you buy.
Full-Service Listing Alone: Pay just 4.5% total commission.
In both scenarios, a portion of the total commission is allocated to the buyer agent brokerage. This structure is also used by "flat rate" providers (although they say this is optional), however, most recognize that it's professional REALTORS® that bring motivated, qualified buyers, adding significant value and protection to your transaction.
Your financial well-being is our priority. Compared to others, including flat-rate options, we provide superior value for the same or even less cost. It's the best of both worlds.
Backed by a reputable GTA brokerage, you'll receive unparalleled support and service at every stage of your journey with us.

4. Are there any upfront fees?
No upfront fees are necessary. If you opt to make updates before selling, there may be associated costs; however, I am ready to assist by coordinating with contractors and handymen and deferring those expenses to the closing. My primary objective is to prepare your home or property for the market, ensuring a seamless process and minimal hassle for you.
5. Do you offer staging?
By choosing to list with us, you'll have access to our highly skilled in-house Property Presentation Specialist, Stephanie. Stephanie offers a complimentary, friendly, and informative consultation before and can even assist with furniture placement and design ideas in your new home. At the very least, she consistently recommends decluttering and depersonalizing—actions proven to significantly enhance your property's overall appeal. Stephanie can also provide guidance on paint colours, furniture placement, recommended light fixtures, and other enhancements.
Moreover, we collaborate with a reputable third-party stager who is available for clients seeking additional services at a reasonable cost. This service covers needs like furniture, pictures, lighting, and more. We can also facilitate coordination with contractors and handymen, deferring these costs and other staging expenses to be settled upon closing.
While staging can undoubtedly elevate your property's presentation, it's essential to recognize that not every property requires this step. Rest assured, we will thoughtfully assess the most effective approach to showcase your property, ensuring it stands out to potential buyers.
6. Will I be tied to a contract?
The Listing Agreement outlines our commitment to selling your home and your responsibilities. We understand that circumstances in real estate can change for various reasons. We’re here to guide you through any ups and downs and can adjust or cancel the listing if needed. We want to ensure we proceed only when everyone is on the same page.
7. Do you offer a free home evaluation?
Absolutely! We offer a thorough in-home or on-site evaluation to assess your property’s unique features and strategize for a successful sale. For the smoothest process, reach out well in advance. We can provide referrals to contractors, handymen, painters, and more. Ideally, we’ll schedule photos and pre-marketing one to two weeks before the listing date for maximum exposure, but we can also handle urgent requests. Get started here.
8. Will other agents show my listings?
Without question. With our advanced app-based booking system, Broker Bay, agents can book showings with ease and we can seamlessly manage these internally. We will also keep you in the loop through text-based messaging. I encourage buyer agents to provide feedback, and I collaborate directly with them following all showings.
9. Is your approach effective?
My approach to selling your property challenges conventional wisdom. I prioritize your end profits over just the selling price. No flashy promises, no gimmicks. Instead, I rely on the expertise of buyers' agents and skillful negotiations to ensure you receive the highest and best offer with favourable terms. My efficient and effective methods will help you maximize your equity, allowing you to pursue your next dream home or any other plans you have in mind. Experience a smarter way to sell and secure your financial future with me.
