Welcome to Edmonton; there’s something for everyone!

I can identify the features to best suit your lifestyle and find the home that will work for you! Let’s examine the factors I take into consideration when finding the perfect home for my clients:

The Location

Location is the fundamental factor when it comes to Edmonton real estate listings. Whether you’re a young family looking for a home close to the best schools or a working professional that needs the inspiration of city hubbub – I’ll find the right spot for you.

The Site

Check out the lay of the land. What is the yard like? The view? Is there a back alley? Which direction does the sun rise and set? These are all critical lifestyle factors that influence lighting, recreation, and general home life.

The Neighborhood

Hundreds of new listings pop up in Edmonton every day. It’s easy to get carried away into the mire, but by narrowing down your desired neighbourhoods, your search will be much more enjoyable. Before even looking at homes, I’ll be able to tell you if there are trails to walk, run, or bike if children are playing in the yards, if it has the amenities you desire, and what the commute to work might be like for you.

Curb Appeal

First impressions are key for prospective buyers! A property that has been well kept outside is a good indicator of care and regular maintenance inside. Be sure to look at foliage, the condition of the driveway, as well as outdoor fixtures and siding.

Size and the Floor Plan

While some love the idea of an open concept home, others may find it impractical. Consider how you use space in your current home and determine early on if the size and floor layout of the homes you see on the Edmonton real estate listings will accommodate your long term. After all, you can update the home to your preferences, but changing the room and floor layout can be costly.

The Bedrooms and Bathrooms

These rooms need to be functional, a good size for their purpose, and in the amount you need. An extra bedroom is always a bonus because it can allow you to use it as a home office or guest room. Also, functional bathroom(s) make morning routines easier.

Closets and Storage

Older homes and newer homes will have different closets and storage layouts.

Many older homes built before the 2000s often have small closets but plenty of storage space via linen or broom closets, storage rooms, mudrooms, crawlspaces, and cold rooms.

Newer homes tend to have large closets, focusing on walk-ins – but not always a lot of storage space as described above. These are generalizations; of course, it ultimately depends on the year built, builder, location, and floor plan.

Be sure to take note of the storage capabilities of the homes on your shortlist and cross-reference them with your own storage needs.

Why Work With an Agent?

With so many new listings coming and going on the Edmonton real estate market, hiring a professional REALTOR® in Edmonton is an easy and cost-effective way to buy or sell your home.

Of course, many real estate services allow you to list and sell your home. However, there are some factors to consider when selling a home before deciding to go alone.

Risks of Buying or Listing a Home on Your Own –

Using a FSBO (For Sale By Owner) or seller’s service has limitations. The FSBO method will omit the professional knowledge and experience that REALTOR® in Edmonton will have. 

Additionally, there are regulations to ensure every property is sold according to Canadian real estate laws and that the parties involved are protected, and a REALTOR® will have a comfortable knowledge of these intricate regulations.

Many believe this method is cost-effective, but realistically a FSBO may sell for 6-10% less than other properties.

Without a REALTOR®'s assistance, you risk overpaying or purchasing a property that could have issues down the line. Buyers often overpay for homes when not using the service of a REALTOR®.

Knowing what comparable homes are selling for is my job, and I will ensure that you secure a fair price on a property no matter the area, style or age. I am not a home inspector, but I have attended hundreds of inspections and seen thousands of homes. While you are looking at the layout and finishings of the property, I am examining the features and using my expertise to point out items that may be of concern or that may help us negotiate the price to cover their repair. I will also ensure that you feel comfortable with all terms (price, possession, etc.), and can go over all of the paperwork with you.

Buying and Selling Without an Expert?

Selling a property without a REALTOR® in Edmonton includes the following risk factors:

• Longer time to sell your house

• Hidden costs of staging, cleaning, and other miscellaneous tasks.

• Unqualified buyers wasting your time with no-shows.

• Tough negotiation with many different parties – with no one looking after your interests

• Overpaying for the property

• Hidden costs of staging, cleaning, and other miscellaneous tasks.

• Hidden costs of staging, cleaning, and other miscellaneous tasks.
