SELLING YOUR HOME?

Your home is one of, if not the biggest, asset you own. Not only do you have a large financial investment in your home but there is often a large emotional attachment to it as well. I recognize this and am sensitive to your real estate needs. I pride myself in achieving the very highest price for your home while at the same time delivering ultimate service. I go beyond the traditional role of a realtor to provide you with the peace of mind that the sale of your home is in the right hands.

These services are outlined below:

You can make better informed decisions and avoid many of the common pitfalls in selling your home by taking advantage of these free no obligation reports.

Here are some of the services I provide:
  1. “Let’s get started” package, including tips on preparing your house for sale, a customized 30 day marketing plan for your home, an offer form to review, a Seller information form to complete, mortgage verification form, “please remove your shoes sign”, and highlight signs for specific areas of the house.
  2. Print Advertising I will advertise in various newspapers including the Ottawa Citizen, the Real Estate Guide and the Hill Times (many of the ads are in colour and/or with a picture).
  3. Advertising on the Internet - Your home will be advertised on rhodesrealestate.ca, cbrhodes.com, homeadvisor.com and coldwellbanker.ca, 3dvisit.com, and the Ottawa Real Estate Board’s web site oreb.ca, with more sites being added regularly.
  4. Beautiful custom designed brochures of your home with coloured pictures of your house.
  5. Chris’s Ottawa Real Estate toll free hot line with prerecorded information about your home 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  The prospective buyer just phones my toll free number and keys in your assigned ID code advertised on my sign and they are then able to listen to a prerecorded ad describing your home.  If they are interested in a printout they just enter their fax number and one is automatically sent to them.
  6. When you hire Chris, you are not only receiving excellent service from me and my support staff but you are also hiring the number one Coldwell Banker Office in the country with approximately 40 experienced agents.  In addition, you have access to my team of dedicated professionals in a wide variety of real estate related disciplines including lawyers, inspectors, movers, cleaners, handymen, contractors, painters, window contractors, tile, hardwood and carpet installers, antique dealers, and many others.
  7. Chris’s listings usually sell for more money - Based on a study done in Ottawa during 2000 my listings on average sold 2.3% closer to the asking price than the Ottawa Real Estate Board’s average listing.
  8. Satisfaction guarantee I am so confident in my ultimate service that I offer an iron clad guarantee - if you are not completely satisfied with my services you can cancel my listing contract with just 24 hours notice.
