Selling My Parkdale New Build

Can you tell us how you first met Kim and about your initial experiences?

I was introduced to Kim through Mike Turnbull in an earlier real estate transaction. I was very impressed with Mike's services and when I contacted him, he introduced me to Kim. Kim is extremely professional and within the first 30 minutes it was evident that she was action-oriented, knew the market and had a proven track record for success.

What did Kim do to guide you in your market research when you were setting a price? How did you come to your final decision?

Kim provided me with as many comparables as possible although recognizing my home was unique (one of the only brand new homes in the area Parkdale/High Park). We discussed current market conditions and what I paid and from there I was happy with the price we set. Kim did not just tell me what she thought I wanted to hear. That is important as setting the right price from the outset is critical in my opinion.

How did you prepare your house for showing and/or being photographed? What are your thoughts on how the open houses were handled?

I did not have to do very much to prepare may house. Kim made some good suggestions but the house showed very well. The open houses were handled very well. Each one was "successful" and I do believe that the person who ultimately purchased my home did see it initially through an open house. Kim did a fair number and she obviously understood how important open houses are in that area.

How do you feel Kim handled the negotiation? How did the negotiations go and what had been your expectations?

Kim handled the negotiations very well and was able to predict the purchaser's "bottom line" and she was right. That helped me in managing my expectations. I was happy with the outcome and the process...not sure you can ask for more.

How did the final closing of the sale go? Looking back is there anything you would have done differently? Is there anything that Kim did that you particularly appreciated?

Closing also went extremely smoothly. I have now dealt with 5 real estate agents and Kim is the best...in every respect. She is knowledgeable, professional, responsive and proactive. What is also impressive is Kim's team. They are equally professional and therefore it gives you a lot of confidence knowing that it is not just one person working for you. I would highly recommend Kim.
