SELLING INFO ME SELLING EXPERIENCE You have decided to sell your home. You’re anxious to start the process, but you really want to make sure you have the right person working to sell your home for all it’s worth. Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down with an experienced agent and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame and detailed outline of the selling process. But first, there are a few questions you may need to ask yourself before listing your home. WHY SELL? Why do you want to sell your property? Do you plan on simply moving to a larger home or property, or do you plan on moving to another neighborhood, school district, city or province? You might think your reasons are obvious, but it would be helpful for you to consider the implications of each option for your lifestyle, opportunities, and finances. Being clear about your intentions for selling will make it easier for the agent to determine the most appropriate option for your specified financial, lifestyle, and real estate goals.

WHEN SHOULD I SELL? You should immediately establish your time frame for selling. For many sellers, it is an urgent matter, and for others, not so much. Obviously, serious sellers would like to sell as quickly as possible and for the most amount possible, however, it is good to know what the most effective plan of action is before listing your home.
OUR TRUE ADVANTAGE
If you need to sell quickly, I can speed up the process by giving you a complete market analysis and action plan to obtain all of your goals. If there is no pressing need to sell immediately, you can sit down with me to thoroughly review the current market conditions and find the most favorable time to for you to sell.

TESTIMONIALS Companies don’t hire people without first checking their references. You shouldn’t work with someone without checking their references either. This is what some of my clients have said about me recently here. Further references are available on request.
“DEBBIE DID NOT DISAPPOINT.” “After having our facility for sale with a different Realtor with no success, we decided to hire Debbie. We knew because of the nature of our property it wasn’t going to be easy to sell. We needed someone experienced in the field and very dedicated and Debbie did not disappoint. Debbie left no stone unturned and marketed the property on several levels. She was actively involved with every aspect of the sale and conducted herself professionally at all times. She was very easy to reach,returned every phone call and e-mail and was very pleasant to work with. Her efforts resulted in the successful sale of our property. I recommend her to any one who has a property to sell and needs a Realtor who is dedicated and can get the job done!“ - Gabrielle

“DEBBIE LOOKED AFTER OUR BEST INTERESTS.” “Debbie assisted me and my wife with the purchase of our 1st acreage home. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and made many recommendations to help with our move from City to Country. We felt that Debbie was truly looking after our best interests. This deal took some time to complete and she was with us at every step and was always reachable. She was informative towards our questions and assisted in negotiating what we still believe a positive financial transaction. Should the need arise again for Real Estate Services I would have no hesitation in contacting and hiring Debbie again. Due to the above efforts I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.”

“DEBBIE TAKES CUSTOMER SERVICE TO A NEW LEVEL.” “We were fortunate to have Debbie recommended to us when we moved to Calgary. Debbie takes personal customer service to a new level throughout the stressful process of buying a home. She listened to what we wanted and when we found it; she was a master negotiator ensuring we received the best deal possible. She stayed connected after we agreed to a deal so that every step of the process went smoothly. There are many choices for Realtors (we have bought and sold over 10 homes), but our strong recommendation is Debbie as she truly cares and will work for you to make sure you are 100% satisfied!” - Jeff & Sandy 17
