Selling your South Shore home for top dollar: 7 steps

Selling a home on the South Shore is not just about listing it on Centris. The final price depends on preparation, positioning and negotiation. Here is the method I use with my sellers.

1. A valuation based on real sales

I compare your property with recent comparable sales in your area — not asking prices. Overpricing wastes precious weeks; the right price creates competition.

2. Documents ready from day one

Up-to-date certificate of location, tax bills, renovation invoices, seller’s declarations: a complete file reassures buyers.

3. Small fixes that pay

Neutral paint, caulking, light fixtures, landscaping: simple work improves photos and first impressions.

4. Professional presentation

Professional photos, virtual tour, floor plan and, depending on the property, video or drone.

5. Broad exposure

Centris, social media, buyer database, the CENTURY 21 network in Québec and abroad, and a multilingual clientele (French, English, Mandarin).

6. Qualified showings

I make sure buyers are pre-qualified and gather feedback to adjust the strategy if needed.

7. Firm negotiation

Price is only one element: occupancy date, inclusions, financing and inspection conditions matter just as much.

Bonus: a free moving truck

When you buy or sell with me, you can use the CENTURY 21 Collection moving truck for free, subject to availability.
