Home Selling Questions: Our FAQ
Have a few questions about selling your home in West Ottawa? We may already have the answer here in our home selling FAQ.
- The process of selling your property starts by finding the right real estate agent to work with. You can see if that’s us by completing the form on this page and scheduling a time to talk more or meet in person.
- Once we’ve determined that we’re a good fit to work together, you will sign the listing document and complete the paperwork to solidify our business relationship.
- We start the process of selling your home in West Ottawa as soon as possible so you know what to do to prepare your home. We start by completing a home pricing strategy for your home to determine a fair and accurate listing price that attracts buyers and gets you top dollar.
- We will bring our team’s home stager in to get the house ready, pick out paint, and determine what updates or fixes need to be completed before your home is listed.
- Next, we will coordinate a time for our photographer to take high-quality photos and video of the interior and exterior of your home. These materials will be used online and in print to advertise your home.
- After that, our home listing coordinator will come in to take the market measurements and marketing notes on the details of your property.
- Once all surveys and documents have been gathered, we will build the MLS information to prepare your property listing.
- Ten days before your home goes on the market, we will advertise with a ‘Coming Soon’ marketing campaign, a ‘Coming Soon’ lawn sign, and posts on our social media channels and website.
- Our team will book showings for prospective buyers while keeping you in the loop along the way; you will always know what to expect.
- We will host Open Houses and showings until an offer – or offers – have been presented. We will guide you through the details of each offer to ensure you get top dollar for your home while protecting your best interests.
- Once you have accepted an offer, we will coordinate all actions needed to finalize the sale between you and the seller. This includes coordinating payments, meeting conditions, completing paperwork, and exchanging the keys to the home.
- We will be there to help you coordinate your next steps, whether you need a recommendation for a service, help to purchase your next property, or any additional real estate advice. Remember: We are your real estate team for life!
Your home worth is determined by multiple factors, including location, age, condition, upgrades, and the market. It is also influenced by the results of a Comparative Market Analysis. The CMA looks at properties similar to yours that have recently sold, are currently listed, or didn’t sell. By reviewing this information, we can better determine your property’s place in the market.

One of the best ways to sell your home quickly and for the best price is to make sure it’s thoroughly prepared for prospective buyers. Here is what we recommend:
- Do a Deep Clean & Declutter – Start to prepare your home for sale by decluttering and cleaning. Shampoo the carpets, clean major appliances and do what you can to touch up each room.
- Adding Curb Appeal to Your Hom – Be sure to clear the walkway and driveway, pick up any litter, repair the gutter and eaves trough, and touch up the exterior paint. In the warmer months, cut the lawn, trim the shrubs, and weed the garden.
- Make Your Home Spacious – Clear the stairs and halls, store away any excess furniture or décor, clear the counters, and organize the closets.
- Set the Atmosphere – Before showings, it is best to absent. Make sure the lights are on, light the fireplace, open the drapes, keep pets outdoors, and play some light background music.
- Make a Good First Impression – Lastly, ensure that the entrance is clean and tidy, double-check that your doorbell is functional, and polish the door hardware.
