Selling your homePricing and marketing that reach the right buyers
In today's GTA market buyers have more choice and more time, so the first two weeks on the market matter most. I price your home from real sales, prepare it to show well, and market it on MLS® and in English and Chinese channels.

Selling your home · The process
Home visit and valuation
I walk through your home, note its strengths and issues, and prepare a written market analysis with a recommended price range.
Listing agreement
We sign a listing agreement that sets the list price, term, commission, and how showings and offers will be handled. You decide whether to allow an open-offer process.
Prepare the home
Small repairs, fresh paint, decluttering and staging. Gather documents: survey, permits, utility costs, property tax bill and, for condos, building documents.
A pre-listing inspection can help buyers firm up faster.
Photos and launch
Professional photos, video and floor plans, then launch on MLS® and Realtor.ca with English and Chinese promotion.
Showings and open houses
Showings are booked through a showing service and I share buyer feedback with you every week.
Review offers and negotiate
We compare price, deposit, conditions and closing date. I negotiate sign-backs and, if there are several offers, run a fair process.
Conditions period
The buyer completes inspection and financing. I handle requests and keep the deal on track until it is firm.
Closing
Your lawyer pays off your mortgage and transfers the proceeds. Leave the home clean with the agreed items, and hand over keys and codes.
Things to watch
Check your mortgage penalty
Ask your lender for the prepayment penalty, or whether you can port the mortgage to your next home.
Plan the buy-sell timing
Decide whether to sell first or buy first, and line up bridge financing if the dates do not match.
Disclose known defects honestly
Problems that are hidden and make a home dangerous or unfit, such as a known leak or structural issue, must be disclosed.
Write inclusions clearly
List which appliances, light fixtures and window coverings stay, to avoid disputes on closing day.
Selling a tenanted home
Tenants must get 24 hours' written notice before showings. If the buyer wants vacant possession, notices and compensation must follow the Residential Tenancies Act.
Know the tax rules
A principal residence is usually exempt from capital gains tax but must still be reported on your return. Homes held under 12 months may fall under the federal anti-flipping rule. Non-resident sellers need a CRA clearance certificate.
Common questions
How much is the commission?
Commission is negotiable and written in your listing agreement. It usually covers both the listing brokerage and the buyer's brokerage.
How long will it take to sell?
In September 2026, GTA homes took 34 days on average. Well-priced homes in good condition usually sell faster.
Should I renovate before selling?
Usually not a major renovation. Paint, repairs, lighting and staging give the best return. I will tell you which items are worth it for your home.
Should I hold offers until a set date?
It can work when inventory is tight. In a slower market, listing at market value and reviewing offers as they come is often safer.
Will I pay tax when I sell?
Your principal residence is usually exempt. Rental or second properties are taxed on the capital gain. Ask your accountant before listing.
Can I sell with tenants in the home?
Yes. Buyers can take over the lease, or you can arrange vacant possession following the proper notices and compensation.
Should I move out before listing?
Not necessarily. A tidy, staged home that is lived in can show very well. Vacant homes usually need staging.
