4 offers. 722 Square Foot Side by Side sells for $17,600 over list price in Charleswood Winnipeg

It was indeed an honor for me to represent this wonderful couple to sell their home for maximum amount of dollars in a minimum amount of time with a 10 day possession. We met months ago, discussed strategy regarding preparation, agreed on timing, watched the market closely and pulled the trigger at the opportune time. The result was a short period of time on the market, 4 days of attracting qualified buyers only and the consideration of 4 offers. The winning bid was not necessarily the highest bid, but rather the bid that appealed to the seller’s best interests. After very close consideration to how the offers were written and what the conditions and promises were, we successfully chose the right candidate. The home was sold on March 15th and possession is March 23rd. Another win win situation for the consumer as buyer got what they wanted and seller was happy with the outcome as well.

Recipe for a successful sale. Turn of the century home in Winnipeg

Selling a 100 year old home in Winnipeg can some times prove to be a challenge. Every buyer is concerned about the age of the structure and the repairs. Preparation of the home for sale is the key. Make sure there are as few items unfinished as possible. Keep any repair bills to ease the purchasers concern. Give the home a good top to bottom cleaning and de clutter as much as possible. Older homes are typically laid out with many rooms; very rarely do you see an open concept home over 50 yrs old unless it has been modified. As a general rule we search title to make sure there are no encroachments as most of these homes were built right next to each other with eaves sometimes touching each other and garages straddling property lines. Once we have the home ready to hit market, we study the area paying close attention to trends and competition. The plan is laid out for the seller; it is agreed upon and executed. Larry & Marlin are happy home sellers of a 100 yr old home in the West End of Winnipeg. The home was sold quickly and for top market value so they could get on with their lives and relocation.

$58,100.00 over List Price in Heritage Park Winnipeg

It appears sellers in Winnipeg are in for a nice surprise again this year as the demand for good homes in Winnipeg continues to push prices upward, or should I say skyward! Last evening I had the privilege of representing an Investor couple who put their heart and soul into every renovation they do. They purchased the home within the last 12 months, spent the better part of this time remodeling and refurbishing and after serious consideration regarding the market values, we listed the property at $299,900. The feedback on the home was all positive, the location of the home was excellent on a quiet child friendly street and the market did what it has been doing for the last 10 or so years, it shocked us!  We received 8 offers and after considering them all and looking at the merits of one vs. the other we negotiated and sold the property for $358,000. When I left the home of the sellers last night, I was extremely happy for them. It just goes to show you that people who do fantastic renovations to a home with pride and care do come out ahead and the home buyer appreciates the finished product. This produces a Win-Win effect for the consumer.
