Our Proven Selling Process

Once you’ve met with your Ridge Realty Group Realtor for your Listing Consultation, you will decide on a price together. After that, we will notify our large network of potential buyers that your home is coming to market. During that time, we may even find a buyer for your property before going to market which saves time, energy, & commission.

LISTING YOUR HOME

Staging is handled by one of our very talented in house professionals. In order to get ready, you will want to clean your home from top to bottom and declutter as much as possible. Did you know that according to the Real Estate Staging Association, staged homes sell 73% faster than their upstages-counterparts? This will also help contribute to a potentially higher selling price.

STAGING

There are many different ways to advertise your home. Working with a RRG Realtor means that your listing will be treated with care, from a custom designed website to showcasing your home using professional HD photography/videography, Matterport 3D rendering & drone footage, to representation on Realtor.ca, Home Finder, Kijiji, the RRG website and social media, your listing is sure to be seen by not only prospective buyers but also other Realtors looking on behalf of their clients.

ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION

In some cases we won’t recommend you do an open house but if we do, it will likely be on a Sunday from 2-4pm. A successful open house can be key for generating quick interest in your home. Try to make your rooms bright and airy by leaving windows open or opening curtains or blinds, light a scented candle or put out fresh flowers. Leave some refreshments out for your guests and for your own security, store all your valuables.

PREPARING FOR AN OPEN HOUSE

Once your RRG Realtor receives an offer for your home, they will present it to you. In some cases there may be multiple offers. This is where your RRG Realtor will shine for you, they can help you understand exactly what the offer means and advise if you should accept or counter the offer. It’s not just about price, it’s possible the buyers have asked for other things to be included, for example, your appliances. They may also have asked for you to perform some minor renovations before they buy your home like re-shingling your roof. These are important things to consider.

YOUR FIRST OFFER

Once you accept the offer, you will have a conditional sale. That means until the conditions of the offer are fulfilled the sale is not firm. Conditions can including things like financing, inspection, sale of property, etc. Once the conditions on your offer are met, or if there weren’t any to begin with, you have a firm sale. The sold sign will go up on your home. Congratulations!

CONDITIONAL/FIRM SALE

These are some items that will need your attention when closing the sale of your house such as getting a change of address package from the post office, notifying your utility and cable company that you're moving, and getting your closing documents in order for your lawyer and mortgage agent.  Don’t worry, your Ridge RRG is still here to help you navigate this process and help with any other questions you may have.

CLOSING PROCESS

Let’s Go Even Deeper!

SMALL HOME IMPROVEMENTS.

Our clients often ask us if adding a coat of paint will help boost the price of their home. It’s important to note that most buyers will want to make small changes like that themselves regardless of what you do before you sell. Ask us about small improvements and any renovations and we can gladly advise if they are worthwhile.

You can only make one first impression. When a potential buyer comes along you want your home to look as good as it can. Make sure you continue care to care for your home while it’s on the market, cut your grass or shovel snow and touch up the small stuff.

ENHANCING CURB APPEAL.

You have an incredible amount of stuff, most people don’t realize just how much they have accumulated until they start packing. Once you decide to sell your home, start clearing out that clutter. Consider donating the things you don’t need anymore.

DECLUTTER YOUR HOME.

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • My husband and I were looking for the perfect rental income property in Hamilton. I had come across The Ridge Realty Group months earlier in all my research and immediately knew I wanted to work with them. From their reports on the Hamilton market to their experience working in this field, Paolo was amazing. We found our house on the first round of viewings. Six months later, we have our main home in Toronto and a wonderful duplex in Hamilton. He walked us through every step and negotiated a great deal for us. In addition, Paolo is still around all the time for questions and potentially helping our family and friends look for investment properties in Hamilton as well. It was great to work with this professional and knowledgeable team. I highly recommend them! Thanks again Paolo. You Rock!!!

    Shoaib Chaudhry

  • I can't say enough about my experience with The Ridge Realty Group. It was exceptional from beginning to end. I worked with Paolo Divitantonio and to say he exceed expectations would be an understatement to end all understatements. I can't emphasize enough how impressed I was and continue to be at his commitment and his attention to detail in every way! I was in the market for an Investment Property and not only did he very quickly learn exactly what I was looking for and begin sending me those specific listings, as soon as I was interested in any of them, he sent me a full breakdown of all potential rents, expenses, and all comparables so that I felt completley informed to make a decision. Once we got to the point of making an offer I was once again utterly impressed, his negotiation shills were absolutely on point and we were successful.

    - Zoie Palmer
