Working With the Right Agents
Selling your home is more than just listing it on the market—it’s about maximizing its value and ensuring a smooth, stress-free process. The Nice Agents specialize in making your property stand out so you can capitalize on your property’s great features. Here’s a few things that sets us apart:
Prepare & Plan
Each home is unique, so each home deserves it’s own approach to staging, preparation, and marketing. By identifying this approach early, we can really work wonders on your behalf.
Strategic Pricing
Pricing your home should involve more than comparable sales. We need to look into macro and micro trends, competition, and other market factors to properly position you for a sale. Sometimes it makes sense to price very high and negotiate down, sometimes it makes sense to price lower and drive multiple offers for a higher price. Each home in unique, and each circumstance is unique.
Professional Photography
This should be a baseline for every listing. Professional photos, 3d Tours, Virtual Showing Platforms, and digital floor plans are all staging items that we include with every listing we service. Why? Because a solid foundation is necessary if we’re going to be successful.
Comprehensive Marketing
We go beyond the basics with a customized marketing plan that best suits your home and the likely buyer for that property. Each housing segment attracts a different type of buyer, and each type of buyer has certain behaviours that we can capitalize on for you. It doesn’t make sense to advertise an apartment near the universities in seniors magazines, and it doesn’t make sense to advertise 55+ condos on Tik Tok.
Knowing where your buyers are most likely to see your home is a crucial first step to attracting the right buyers for your home.
Step-by-Step Home Selling Process
Step 1: Home Evaluation
We start with a detailed evaluation of your property, considering recent sales, market trends, and unique features to determine its current value.
Step 2: Preparing & Staging
Our team helps you get your home market-ready. This includes recommending repairs, enhancements, and staging to make your property as appealing as possible.
Step 3: Listing & Marketing
Once your home is ready, we list it on top real estate platforms and launch a comprehensive marketing strategy to attract qualified buyers. Our marketing includes:
- Professional photography and virtual tours.
- Eye-catching & memorable ads.
- Open house events and private showings.
Step 4: Negotiation
When offers start coming in, we act as your advocate, negotiating terms and prices to get you the best deal.
Step 5: Closing the Sale
We coordinate all aspects of the closing process, ensuring all paperwork is handled properly and you’re ready to hand over the keys to the new owner.

FAQs
What are the costs involved in selling a house?
Costs can include:
- Agent commissions: Calculated as a percentage of the sale price, split between buyer and seller agents.
- Repairs or upgrades: To make your home market-ready.
- Closing costs: Such as title insurance, moving costs, and attorney fees (usually 1–2% of the sale price).
- Paying off your mortgage: Including any remaining balance, fees, and penalties.
Knowing these costs can help you plan and set a realistic asking price.
Do I need a real estate agent to sell my house?
While it’s possible to sell your home on your own (For Sale By Owner or FSBO), working with a real estate agent has many advantages. Agents bring expertise in pricing, marketing, negotiation, and legal requirements. They can help you sell faster and potentially for a better price than if you handle it alone.
How long does it typically take to sell a house?
The timeline can vary depending on market conditions, your home’s price, and its location. On average, it can take 30–60 days from listing to closing in a balanced market. Homes priced competitively and in desirable areas may sell faster, while others might take longer.
What’s the first step in selling my house?
The first step is to consult a real estate professional. They can guide you through the process, help you understand your home’s value, and advise on necessary preparations. Alternatively, you could start by assessing your home’s condition and gathering documents like your mortgage information and tax records.
How do I know if It’s the right time to sell my house?
The right time to sell depends on your personal situation and market conditions. If you’re financially ready, have significant equity in your home, or need to move for work or family reasons, it might be time to sell. On the market side, a seller’s market—when demand is high, and inventory is low—can help you get a better price.
