Every step from the first conversation to handing over the keys. What happens, what you do, what gets handled for you, and the BC rules that matter once an offer lands.
An online estimate can't see your kitchen, your view or the street you're on. Your list price comes from recent Kamloops sales, the homes you'd be competing with today, and an honest look at your home's condition.
Recent sales, active competition and a realistic range, walked through with you in person. Book the 15-minute call to start.
Buyers compare your home to everything else on the market. Browse it the way they will on mykamloopslistings.com.
The market will tell us what it's worth. Our job is to listen.
More homes than buyers. Price sharp from day one, because buyers have choices and time.
Reasonable offers get accepted and homes sell in a typical length of time.
Fewer homes than buyers. Strong pricing and multiple offers are more likely.
A common gauge is the sales-to-active-listings ratio: monthly sales divided by active listings. Below about 12% usually signals a buyer's market, 12% to 20% balanced, and above 20% a seller's market. Your market analysis shows where your price range and neighbourhood sit today.

Plug in a sale price and your mortgage balance. This estimates the main costs of selling and what's left on completion day. Your lawyer or notary confirms the final numbers on the statement of adjustments.
Example price shown. Drag or type your own.
Other costs: moving, staging, repairs, a mortgage prepayment penalty. Example commission structure shown. Your listing agreement sets the actual fee.
Before property tax, strata fee and utility adjustments, which can go either way depending on what's prepaid.
Estimate only, not a statement of adjustments. Commission is paid from the sale proceeds on completion and is subject to GST. Fees, penalties and tax rules vary. Confirm with your lender, lawyer or notary and accountant before relying on any figure.
Explains who Terry represents and what that means for you. Required before any agent provides services.
Federal anti-money-laundering rules require your agent to confirm your ID. A quick look at your photo ID.
Your list price, the listing term, the commission and permission to market your home on MLS.
What you know about the property, in writing. Buyers rely on it, so answer it carefully and talk through anything you're unsure of.
Fees, levies, bylaws, minutes and the depreciation report. Order them early, since buyers will ask during subjects.
Price, deposit, subjects, inclusions and dates. You accept, counter or reject. Once both sides sign, it's an accepted contract.

Example dates shown. Business days skip weekends and BC statutory holidays.
The main costs are commission plus GST, your lawyer or notary, and paying out your mortgage, including any prepayment penalty. Commission is set in your listing agreement and paid from the sale proceeds on completion, so nothing comes out of pocket up front. The Net tab estimates it with your numbers.
The commission in your listing agreement is shared between the listing brokerage and the buyer's brokerage. It covers marketing, photography, admin and the people working on your sale. The exact amount and split are written into your agreement before you list.
Usually not a big renovation. Fixes, paint, cleaning and decluttering tend to pay off. Big projects often don't return what they cost. Your walkthrough sorts out which is which for your home.
It can help. You find problems before a buyer does, decide whether to fix them, and avoid surprises mid-deal. On older homes and acreages it's often worth it.
Counter it. It's not where we start, it's where we finish. Any offer is a good offer. We won't know where it goes until we counter.
It depends on price, condition and the market for your type of home. Once an offer is accepted, completion is commonly one to three months out. Your market analysis shows how fast similar homes have been moving.
If it's been your principal residence the whole time you owned it, the gain is usually tax-free, but you still report the sale on your tax return. Rentals, second homes, and homes sold within two years of buying can be different. Your accountant confirms.
Yes, and most move-up sellers do. The order and the bridge are what matter. See Sell first or buy first, then bring your numbers to the consult.
You need someone who knows this market specifically. Eleven years of Kamloops deals, and most of the business comes from past clients sending their friends and family.
You hear what's happening before you have to ask. Every showing, every offer, every deadline.
The truth about your price, even when it's not what you were hoping to hear. That's what gets homes sold.
Brocklehurst, Barnhartvale, acreages and everything between. Street-level knowledge, not provincial averages.
