Selling your home is one of the most significant financial decisions you will make. I am here to guide you through every stage — from the first conversation about whether now is the right time, to the moment the sale closes and you move forward with confidence.

Clarify Your Reasons for Selling

Before we talk strategy, let us talk about why. Are you upsizing for a growing family? Downsizing now that the kids have moved on? Relocating for work or lifestyle? Looking to unlock the equity you have built?

Your reason for selling shapes every decision that follows — pricing, timing, preparation, and how aggressively we market the property. When I understand your motivation, I can build a plan that is designed around your specific goals.

Financial Considerations

Before we list, I want you to have a clear picture of what you will walk away with. That means understanding:

• Capital gains: If this is not your principal residence, capital gains tax applies. Consult your accountant before we proceed.
• Mortgage penalties: If you are breaking your mortgage early, there may be penalties. Check with your lender so there are no surprises.
• Selling costs: Agent commissions, legal fees, potential staging costs, and any pre-sale repairs.
• Net proceeds: I will prepare a detailed net sheet so you know exactly what to expect after all costs are accounted for.

Timing Your Sale

Vancouver's market has seasonal rhythms. Spring typically brings the highest buyer activity, with families wanting to settle before the school year. But selling in quieter months can work to your advantage — less competition means your property stands out more.

Beyond seasonality, neighbourhood-level developments matter. With the Oakridge Park redevelopment nearing completion and continued investment across Vancouver's south side, buyer interest in areas like Oakridge, Marpole, and South Cambie is strong. I will help you time your sale to take advantage of what is happening in your specific market.
