Sell Your Brampton Home
With Top Local Realtor

The most reliable way to estimate it is a comparative market analysis: reviewing recent sales and current listings of similar homes near yours, then adjusting for differences such as size, lot, condition, upgrades and location. Garry's free home evaluation gives you his opinion of a competitive price range based on that review. It is a market opinion, not a formal appraisal, and the final price depends on what a buyer is willing to pay.

A home evaluation is an agent's opinion of market value, based on recent comparable sales and current competing listings. An appraisal is a formal valuation, usually completed by a licensed appraiser and often requested by a lender. Garry's evaluation is a market opinion, not an appraisal.

Yes. Requesting a home evaluation is free and does not obligate you to list your home or sign anything.

Compare agents on their recent local experience, the pricing and marketing plan they propose for your specific home, how they communicate and how they negotiate. Ask for the plan in writing, read independent reviews, and confirm any agent's registration on the public register at reco.on.ca, the Real Estate Council of Ontario.

Typical costs include brokerage commission, legal fees and disbursements, any mortgage payout fees or prepayment penalty, and home preparation such as cleaning, repairs or staging. Commission is not set by law: it is negotiable and agreed in writing in your listing agreement, so ask what is included and whether any amount is offered to a buyer's brokerage. Land transfer tax is paid by the buyer, not the seller. Ask for an estimate of your net proceeds before you list.

In Ontario the buyer pays land transfer tax, not the seller. Sellers still have costs to plan for, such as brokerage commission, legal fees, any mortgage payout costs and home preparation. Ask for an estimate of your net proceeds before you list, and speak with an accountant about any tax questions.

It depends on your price, the home's condition and location, the season and current market conditions, so no one can promise a timeline. Garry's evaluation includes a discussion of what is realistic for homes like yours right now. Also plan for the time between accepting an offer and the closing date set in the agreement.

Many sellers find spring and early fall active, but the right time depends on your own timeline, your home's condition and the competing listings at that moment. A short conversation about your goals is a better guide than a calendar rule.

Yes. If you are moving up or downsizing, the sale and the purchase need to line up, including closing dates, conditions in your offers and financing. Garry helps you plan both sides. Your lender or mortgage professional can explain options such as bridge financing for any gap between closings.

Start with the basics: declutter, deep clean, fix visible issues and improve first impressions. Gather documents such as your property tax bill, any survey you have and records of upgrades. Garry will advise which improvements are worth the cost for your property before you spend money.

Sellers typically use a real estate lawyer to complete the sale, including transferring title and paying out any mortgage. Garry works with your lawyer to carry the sale through to closing, and your lawyer can advise you on your own situation.

Garry's office contacts you by phone or email, using the details you provide, to confirm information about your property and discuss next steps. There is no obligation to list your home.
