Today I am speaking to anybody who has thought about selling their home. We want to talk to you about getting your home ready for sale this spring, during the busiest selling season of the year in Toronto. We have some great tips for you today to help get you into the right mindset as a seller, and to help you make your choice of who you want to sell your home.

First, here are some tips for sellers:

• Get into the right mindset: When you decide to sell your home, it's no longer your home. It is an asset that you are trying to sell for the highest possible dollar amount. 
• Think of your home sale as a business transaction: Your memories will always be with you, but the physical space of the home often needs to be altered or completely changed so it can appeal to the highest possible number of buyers

Once you've gotten into the correct mindset, it's time to make the decision of who you want to hire to sell your home, if you want to hire anybody at all. Why should you consider our team? Well, aside from our vast experience and knowledge of the Toronto real estate market, we have a checklist of 209 items that are involved in selling your home. It sounds daunting, but it really isn't.

We would love to sit down with you and go through the list, showing you how we work harder to get your home sold. You can put your home in the MLS or in the newspaper yourself, we have hundreds of different marketing avenues to get your home sold for a good price. 

Finally, one of the biggest decisions you will make when selling your home is its price. Each home is different, and we want to leave the decision up to you. While we will provide you with plenty of data and examples of what comparable homes sold for, we leave the decision of where to price all up to you. 

We would love to share all of this cutting-edge information with you. If you have any questions at all, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. Now is the time to make your move if you are looking to get settled in by this summer. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

I'm expecting a very busy spring market in Toronto, and today I want to offer you some advice. 

• Low interest rates in 2015 are going to spur a lot of first-time home buyers into our market. If you lock in a low rate right now, you would be in a very good situation for years to come. 
• The absorption rate is currently at 27%, which means that you have a 27% chance at getting the home  you want in Toronto. This rate has dropped from 50% in previous years, but 27% is a very good absorption rate for any real estate market. 
• Mortgage lending has not loosened the way that we have expected it to. However, we can find you good financing, with access to 40-50 different lenders. 

If you're interested in buying a home in Toronto this spring, please contact me and I would be happy to consult with you so that you can find a home that suits your needs.
