As a Real Estate Consultant with over 20 years of intensive focus on Vancouver’s market, I offer my industry insight before getting started. Many think listing the property is one of the final steps before selling. Listing is one of the final steps. A little preparation and investment can go a long way to generating the interest necessary to support a swift and profitable sale.

Marketing Properties in Vancouver

Selling a house in Vancouver begins with understanding the features that appeal to potential buyers. What are the notable features of the property? Is there a view or special upgrades? It’s important to emphasize location benefits like nearby parks, schools, and recreational facilities, as well as features like smart home integration and electric charging.

Professionally Staging the Property

As a top-rated Vancouver realtor, I invest in professional staging and photography for all listings. I use both traditional and digital channels to reach the widest pool of potential buyers, including our own database of clients. If a realtor doesn’t offer professional staging and photography, consider decluttering the property to make it look fresh and appealing—ready for a new owner. Clear the counters, launder bathroom towels, and ensure the house smells fresh and clean.

Think About Fees

If you’re selling a condo or property in a strata, most new homeowners will be required to pay monthly fees to cover building maintenance. Many first-time home buyers may need to be made aware of these fees, but in the long term, they serve as an excellent indication that a property is well cared for and maintained. Being part of a strata removes much of the responsibility from first-time homeowners. There are more amenities, fewer responsibilities (goodbye lawn mowing!), and less hassle with maintenance. If high fees are discouraging potential buyers, consider subsidizing first-year fees during contract negotiations. Don’t be afraid to think creatively in a buyer’s market.
