My Social Profiles

Specialize in Buying

My specialty is buying. I started a development company (www.checkoutthishouse.ca) to buy, renovate and deliver design-forward homes. I research the market on a daily basis, and can use this insight and expertise to help you find your next home. 

Seller’s Market

Selling is the easy part. Ottawa remains a Seller's market. Inventory remains at historic lows. The most important factor to sell your home is the asking price. In this market, if listed at fair value, it is going to sell… probably with multiple offers, well above asking. If you sign up with a realtor with a common commission of 5% (commission rates vary in the marketplace) and sell for $600,000 (average sale price of a residential property sold in Ottawa was over $700k in 2021), you will pay $30,000 + HST in commissions!  Ask yourself, what are you really getting for this fee?: your home listed on MLS; digital photos; maybe an open house; a printout spec sheet. Then the market does the rest. Save your money.

Advice on Asking Price

Contact me, and I'll provide you my assessment of what your asking price should be, with the market analysis to back it up. Your property will attract a buyer if priced right. Paying thousands more in commissions is not what sells your property.
