If you are thinking of selling your home right now, you should really start getting your ducks in a row in now. Last week I explained how February, March and April are prime months to sell your home because there is less competition on the market but there are still lots of Buyers out there. 

A big part of selling your home is creating demand and anticipation for your home. A good realtor will start this process way before they list your home. In order to do so they need to have a network of some sort. 

I started looking for your home 13 years ago when I got into this business. Every month for the last 13 years I have invested $400 dollars a month in internet advertising to create an email list of buyers that use my website or use me personally to look for a home for them. $62,000 later (400/mth x 13 years), I have amassed an email list of over 3,000 people who have actively and purposely searched for “Kingston homes for sale” or a similar term on google over the years. When I hit send on this newsletter it will go to all of them. 

This is a massive asset to my home sellers as a lot of times I am able to find a buyer for their home without even listing their home. They contact me and tell me about their home and I either already know of a client who is interested in a home like theirs, or I send an email out like this pre-marketing their home and someone responds and says they are interested. Most agents take your listing put it on the market without any prospecting and just wait for others to do the work.

That is why if you plan on selling this year, the best thing that you can do is hit reply to this email so that I can give you a free opinion of value on your home and share it with potential buyers before you list it, thus creating a waiting list and driving up demand for your home. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t planning on selling for a year. Let me know and I will keep it in my pocket as a pocket listing.

Here are some homes that I am going to be listing soon.
1) A roughly 2000 sqft 3+1 bedroom 2 storey in Amherstview on Kildare with a finished basement!

2) A fixer upper in bayridge with a separate entrance in the backyard that leads to an unfinished basement that could easily be set up as an in-law suite for a separate apartment. If you are handy this home will be worth a lot more money once you do the renovations on it.

3) A Beautiful 2600 sqft Bungalow with a huge 20 ft high garage overlooking all of Edenwood estates with views of the rideau in the 600k range. 

If you or anyone you know wants to know more about these just reply to this email. Maybe I can save you from a bidding war.

At any giving moment I have roughly 20 buyers actively out looking for homes. Here are some homes that a few of my most active buyers are looking for right now. If you or anyone that you know plan on selling something that fits this criteria, please let me know and maybe I can match you up to my buyer and save you some time and money of listing your home and having to pay out another agent also.
