2018 is the perfect time to sell your home. The Vancouver real estate market continues to be the hottest in all of Canada and is most definitely a seller’s market. As the premier real estate agent for UBC homes, I would like to offer you the following tips that will sell your home quickly and at a high price.
The Right Agent
When it comes to selling your home, the most important decision you will be faced with is finding the right real estate agent. The right agent will dictate not only your final sale price, but also how long your home will be on the housing market. Some of the qualities that you should look for in your real estate agent include:
- Implementing all the best real estate marketing tools (internet, open houses, and private showings) to attract a large pool of potential buyers.
- Hard working and honest.
- Understands the local housing market and has intimate knowledge of the neighbourhood and community.
- Is flexible and always has your best interest in mind.
Other qualities that your real estate agent should possess include an outgoing personality, a strong track record of selling homes and a marketing plan that will attract many interested parties.
Pick a Date
Once you have chosen the right real estate agent, it is time to look at a calendar and pick some important dates. These dates include when you want to list your home, any open houses that you want to schedule and perhaps even a hopeful closing date. You may want to include other dates in your calendar, especially if you are looking at buying a house during this time.
Here’s the Deal:
Using a calendar and highlighting dates is an important part of selling your home because it provides a visual of your overall marketing plan and breaks down the overall selling process into more manageable chunks.
Staging it Right
A properly staged home is a home that will sell at a high price. When it comes to staging your home, less is more. It is important that you remove all of your personal belongings from each room so that any potential buyer can envision their belongings in this space.

Another key to a well-staged home is empty space. You want the floor plan and space of each room to be the centerpiece, not your belongings or furniture. This also applies to kitchen appliances, wall decorations and your home’s bathrooms.
