Selling a home in central Vernon?

If you're thinking about selling, I can tell you what your home is worth in today's market and how to market it to families shopping by school. Here are the questions sellers ask me most.

What is my home in central Vernon worth?

I'll prepare a comparative market analysis using recent sales of similar homes nearby, adjusted for your home's size, condition, updates and views. Families pay close attention to school catchments, so I'll make sure buyers know which schools your address is in. It's free and there's no obligation. Request a free home valuation or call or text Sarah, my assistant, at 604-227-4810.

Does the school catchment matter when I sell?

It can widen your pool of buyers, because many families search by school first. I list the catchment schools in your marketing and point buyers to the SD22 school locator so they can confirm it themselves.

When is the best time to list a family home?

Many families like to move over the summer so kids can start the school year in their new home, so spring is often busy. The right timing still depends on your plans and the market, and I'll walk you through it.

Should I sell before I buy my next home?

It depends on the market and your finances. Selling first gives you certainty; buying first lets you take your time. I'll help you plan the timing, including subject-to-sale offers and bridge financing options.

What does it cost to sell a home in BC?

Commission in BC is always negotiable. My standard fee is 6% on the first $100,000 of the sale price and 3% on the balance, plus GST, shared equally with the brokerage that brings the buyer. On an $800,000 sale, for example, that's $6,000 + $21,000 = $27,000 plus GST. That covers a lot of work behind the scenes, from me and from the technology I put in place, all aimed at getting you the best price and the easiest possible sale. Your other costs are legal or notary fees and any mortgage discharge costs or penalties. In BC the buyer, not the seller, pays property transfer tax. I'll give you a net-proceeds estimate before you list.
