Your A Team’s A Team: Why It Pays To Work with the Best Real Estate Agents in Toronto

| Selling

We believe every buyer and seller not only deserves a streamlined transaction but actually has a right to it. We understand it takes a village to deliver the unique skills that address every aspect of a transaction. You don’t want a “jack of all trades” in real estate, or worse, an agent who leaves you to figure out “the other stuff” on your own. That’s why we become the proverbial village working together to get you through the highs and lows of real estate.

So why does it pay to work with the best real estate agents in Toronto? Let’s see what it means to be backed by your A-team’s A-team.

Value-Added Services for Sellers

Sellers tend to be more commission focused because they foot the bill for both their agent’s and the buyers’ agent’s commission. So, we’re not surprised to encounter sellers who bring up the “D” word when discussing our services, and by D we mean discount. Discount brokerages are not the answer.

One of the hidden benefits of choosing a full-service real estate team to sell your home like us is that we’ve forged majorly successful relationships with all the professionals you need to get top dollar. We don’t add more fees or costs.

Instead, we foot the bill for the MUST-HAVE services and consultations with fellow experts to sell your home based on the current market. We also connect you with additional service providers when you need them.

Marketing Mavens

Marketing is all about the right price, the right look, and the right strategy. Our team crushes the discount broker by providing:

  • Down-to-the-minute market analysis to price your home right
  • Where’s my Ray-Bans level of sparkling clean
  • Bougie yet livable staging strategies
  • Professional photography by an actual photographer with an actual camera
  • Compelling, targeted marketing, including print materials, virtual tours/videos, and floor plans based on your specific neighbourhood, target buyer, and home type
  • A no-surprises pre-listing home inspection and/or a status certificate for condos

It’s not every day you decide to sell your home. If you’re planning on selling your home now or in the near future, here are a few more blog posts you might find helpful:

Additional Pros

We also help keep your home ready-to-show while it’s on the market and prep your move with our network of professionals to help you:

  • Declutter if required with off-site storage or junk removal
  • Fix stuff and improve curb appeal with a trusty handyman and gardening service
  • Organize your move

So you have to consider what you DON’T get with discount brokerages and how a lack of extras actually increases your costs AND your potential losses.

So, we know that discount brokerages don’t hold a candle to what a top Toronto real estate team can do for you, but is it a good idea to hire your friend to sell your home? The answer might surprise you.
