1. Listing consultation and pricing. We walk through your home together and I prepare a comparative market analysis from recent VREB sales, the active competition and current days on market. Getting the price right in the first two weeks matters more than any other decision you'll make.

2. Paperwork. We sign a Multiple Listing Contract that sets the term, commission and any conditions. You'll complete a Property Disclosure Statement, and for strata homes we gather the documents buyers will ask for: the Form B information certificate, bylaws, minutes and the depreciation report. FINTRAC rules also require me to verify your identity.

3. Prepare the home. Repairs, decluttering and staging advice, in an order that puts your money where buyers actually notice it.

4. Photography, video and floor plans. I'm also a working real estate photographer, so I shoot your listing myself: HDR interiors, twilight exteriors, aerial drone footage where airspace rules allow, and measured floor plans. Strong media is what gets buyers to book a showing.

5. Go to market. Your home goes on the MLS through the Victoria Real Estate Board and syndicates to REALTOR.ca, supported by social media and my network. I manage showings and open houses, collect feedback and review the activity with you every week.

6. Review offers. I'll walk you through every term in each offer, not just the price: the deposit, the subjects, the dates and what each one means for your risk. If multiple offers come in, we decide together how to run the process.

7. Rescission period and subjects. For most residential sales in BC, the buyer has three business days after acceptance to rescind, paying you 0.25% of the purchase price if they do. The buyer then works through their subjects, such as financing and inspection. Once subjects are removed in writing, the sale is firm.

8. Completion and possession. Your lawyer or notary pays out your mortgage, receives the sale proceeds and prepares the statement of adjustments, and the commission is paid from the proceeds at completion. You hand over the keys on the possession date.

Why list with me: I've been a realtor in Victoria for about ten years with Engel & Völkers Vancouver Island, and I produce listing media through my own company, PurelyCreative. Curious what your home would sell for? Request a home valuation, or call or text 250-884-3498.
