HOME SELLING TIMELINE
Touching Base
The process begins with a call to Roland Lewis 604.828.8080
The Discovery Process
The first steps in determining the right selling price for your home is gathering as much information as possible about your home, its condition and history.
Pre-Listing Appointment
Roland will view the property, evaluate the state of the home, and using his extensive knowledge both of the overall real estate market, and the market specific to your neighbourhood establish an accurate recommended asking price.
Listing Agreement
You will meet briefly once again, go over the details of the contract, ask questions and sign the listing agreement.
Preparation
Roland will advise you on the best possible steps to take in preparing your house to sell.
Grand Opening
Broker, Realtor, & Public Open House (where applicable & at your discretion)
Accepting & Negotiating Offers
Roland will personally explain all offers and advise you through the offer and acceptance process.
Documents with Lawyer or Notary
About one week before the closing date, your lawyer or notary will schedule a meeting with you to sign all the necessary documents.
Follow Up Call
About one week before Closing, Roland will touch base with your lawyer or notary to make sure that everything is going smoothly and they are prepared to close your deal successfully the next week. Roland will give you a call, too, so that you can rest assured.
Completion
On this day your deal "completes:" you will receive the money for your property and the title changes hands. You will receive a call from our office as soon as we get the good news from the lawyer or notary.
Transfer of Title
This clears the seller of all financial encumbrances associated with the property: any amounts owing (i.e. - strata fees in arrears) are paid for out of the selling price making it a clear title. The title now goes under the buyer's name and any new financial encumbrances (i.e. - mortgage) are applied.
Possession Date
At 12 noon of this day, possession is legally that of the buyer's. At this time they are given the keys and they can begin to move in.
After the sale is complete, Roland will follow-up with you to ensure everything went smoothly
