Top 5 Tips For Selling Your Condo In Canmore
1. Top Producing Real Estate Agent
Hands-down, the number one tip is hiring a top real estate agent. One who knows Canmore exceptionally well and has the necessary experience to guide you through the sale. Not only is a pro Realtor essential, but they need to be trustworthy, professional, trustworthy and highly communicative. After all, you need someone who will effectively tell you what you need to know and how to not only capitalize on your investment but enjoy the process!

2. Staging Your Condo To Sell
Let us let you in on a secret…not many sellers stage their condos in Canmore. There is a BIG opportunity to get more money for your condo by staging to sell. Having come from a highly competitive marketplace in downtown Toronto, we can assure you it’s an essential move. If you have ever looked on MLS at Canmore condos and homes, you will see that many of the interiors of condos look very similar. Without a unique point of difference, the condo seller is leaving money on the table. The power of condo staging cannot be overstated! A bit of fluffing, some accent pieces or all new furniture go a long way. Don’t take it personally. After all, this is about what buyers want – they have the money to buy your condo.

3. Marketing
Most real estate agents say they know how to market, but putting your condo listing on MLS is not enough. A savvy listing agent will market your property using the most influential media. Search Engine Optimization (SEO – which works phenomenally well and is likely how you found our site!), Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Flyers, Mailing Lists, and Canmore real estate magazines. By no means is this the end, but it’s a glimpse into what you should expect a minimum from a great listing agent. It is essential to market your condo and know your buyer demographic, price the property strategically, communicate effectively and drive the buyer to take action on your home. Truth be told, everything a great Realtor does is marketing.
