Once you have deicded that you are ready to sell your home the first formal step in marketing your property is to enter into a Listing Agreement.  This is a contract that commits us as your real estate agents to actively market your home for a specified period of time. It also commits you to a pre-established marketing fee (commission) that is to be paid upon the successful closing of the sale.

In order to sell your home we may also require the following documents:

Plan of Survey
A Survey of your property which outlines the lot size and location of buildings as well as details of encroachments from neighbouring properties.

Property Tax Receipts
We require that the current annual property tax assessments and the total annual taxes for the most recent year.  This is important information that we would like to pass on to potential Buyers.

Deed or Title Search
This document is a legal description of your property and the proof that you own it.

Other Documentation
It would also be helpful to have information on such items as annual utility costs.   We would also ask for a list of recent improvements you have made to the home as well as any seasonal pictures that you may have of your home and/or garden.  A list of inclusions and exclusions is also necessary.
