7 steps to successfully selling your property

With over 30 years of proven performance and hundreds of happy clients Neal & Tracy Uchida are consistently in the The Greater Vancouver's Real Estate Board's Top 10% of all REALTORS® year after year.

Step 1 - Getting to know your property


Property Story - We work together to discover every detail and reveal what's unique about your home. A compelling editorial sharing your home’s story results in buyers knowing what its like to live there before they walk through the door. The story brings insight and excitement to your home. It will highlight the features you feel are important and will create the right feeling of your home to potential buyers.








Pre-Inspection - A pre-inspection uncovers any hidden surprises that will affect the value of your property. We have the experience, knowledge and trade connections on the Sunshine Coast to help uncover any surprises that may come up during a potential buyers property inspection. Our pre-inspection helps take the power from potential buyers to request repairs, price reductions or even abandon the deal completely. Pre-inspections provide you the time and ability to fix problems prior to listing your property for sale and present buyers with the confidence they are buying a well maintained and loved home.





Staging Services
- To maximize the sale price your home needs to be showcased at its absolute best. Staging will enhance the design best suited to tell your homes story and highlight its features and benefits.









Local neighborhood knowledge - Buyers are not only concerned about the home or the land. They also want to know what makes your neighborhood special and different from others in the area. Buyers may want to know about local restaurants, grocery stores, schools, community centers, libraries and entertainment options as well as the demographics of the area. Our knowledge of the Sunshine Coast and your neighborhood can provide buyers with the important lifestyle information they need to help sell your home.






Step 2 - Essential Marketing


Photos - First impressions count. When buyers are searching online you only have 10 seconds to keep the buyer’s attention.  Online marketing is your first chance to make a first impression. Buyers find their home online from the comfort of their own home so your photos matter.  We only use professional photographers and are present during the photo shoot to make sure every detail is perfect.

Floorplans -  Prospective buyers want to know room sizes and the configuration in a house so that they can understand the flow of the property.

Sample of our Marketing Brochure


Brochures - A full colour listing brochure allows buyers who’ve viewed your home to take their positive impression with them to review later and share with family and friends. A detailed brochure of your home will stand out from the rest as buyers often view many homes in a single day. The brochure will answer buyer's questions relating to items such as square footage, room sizes, layout and available schools.







Postcards
- Direct mail marketing is alive and well and can be one of your best tools to attract buyers to your home. We mail just listed and open house invite post cards to your neighborhood. We find home owners in your neighbourhood may want to move up or down in house or lot size but still want to stay in the same neighborhood. Alternatively, they may have friends or family that want to live in their neighborhood.

Branding & Signage - A sign can be the first thing a potential buyer sees that represents your home. Signage can be a powerful tool in your marketing plan and can be the key to get buyers to view your home.  Reputation is key in the real estate market and community neighborhood branding is an effective way to attract people to view your home online and in person.

Open Houses - The most important Open Houses come the first 2 weekends that your home is listed as they will allow any current potential buyers looking for homes in your price range an easy opportunity to view your home. Our job is to showcase your home to as many people as possible and open houses create more exposure and excitement resulting in greater competition and therefore a higher price.  Open Houses allow us to provide you feedback both from the buyers and realtors and the number of people attending can be a good indication of the level of interest your home is generating.


Private Showings - They allow us to meet and tell your home’s story and answer all questions with them in person. They can allow buyers to be more relaxed and have more time to really look through every detail of the home.
