They have19 years of combined real estate experience, during which we have gained knowledge of the many types of markets: high and low interest rates, high and low volume of sales, recessions, and market booms. Knowing what tools and techniques are needed to adapt to these changing markets is paramount to selling your propertyand/or buying your new home.

Selling Your Property
Close attention is paid to detail, to make sure we get it right the first time! When selling a property this involves:
1. Obtaining accurate and detailed information
on your property and surrounding neighbourhood,
2. Carrying out a thorough Comparative Market Evaluation of your property,
3. Professional looking marketing materials such as Feature Sheets, Brochures, Advertising mediumand quality Photographs,
4. We stay in contact with our clients throughout the selling process making sure they receive the feedback regarding their property, and/or most recent listings and sales,
5. Effective negotiating techniques during offer presentations achieve the desired results of meeting your timeframe requirements and selling your property at or above market value.

We strategically employ the “Two Step Selling Process”. First, we ensure that Realtors have all relevant information that will encourage them to bring their buyers to view your property. (We make it as easy as possible for other Realtors.) Secondly, once Realtors have been won over, they in turn encourage their buyers.

Some of the methods we employ in marketing your property are:
• Multiple Listing Website www.mls.ca
• Royal LePage Website www.royallepage.ca
• Elaine Smallwood’s Personal Website www.ElaineSmallwood.com
• Real Estate TV (Roger’s channel 260) and www.retv.ca
• Property website www.youraddress.com
• Assessment of Realtor feedback regarding your property and adjustments as required.
• Virtual Tours
• Personal Open House invitations hand delivered to targeted neighborhoods.
• Breakfast Club presentation of your property listing to our peers.
• Assisting in property preparation with use of staging consultants, high quality tradesmen and contractors.
• Royal LePage Performance Realty is a Premier Real Estate Company with contracts with the Military, RCMP, and a extensive list of corporations for their employee relocations.
