Michelle Hojan | Kitchener-Waterloo Estate Sales

Feel good about the entire process.

I'm known in the KW area as an agent who never settles. I go above and beyond, even after the deals are closed. Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone successfully begin the next chapter of their life, feeling confident that they've made the right decision, and looking back on the experience with a smile.

We feel like we won the lottery with Michelle. Sold WELL over asking in 3 days.

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

I'm always here to help you. I love being a valuable resource for all things real estate. You might have some of the following questions already:

I’m thinking of buying my first home - where do I start?

First you should get pre-approved for a mortgage. A pre-approval tells you how much you can spend on a home and allows you to shop with confidence. This is ultimately important in a competitive market where there often isn't the luxury of financing conditions in an offer.

Is there a best time of year to buy a home?

Real estate is much more dependent on supply and demand, which is determined by a multitude of factors rather than just time of year. Factors such as days on market, and what city or neighbourhood you are searching in are probably much more likely contributing factors of ease of purchase.

What is commission and who pays for that?

The Seller pays the commission to both the Buyer Agent as well as the Seller Agent. There is a large misconception about commission and this should be an open and honest conversation between you and your agent prior to signing any contracts.

How do you ensure that you sell my home for maximum value?

It all starts with conducting a market analysis to determine the appropriate asking price. It's important to not be pessimistic about the asking price potential, and it's even more important to conduct the market analysis thoroughly. On top of that, I provide: strategic home staging, vigorous home cleaning (and repairs), cutting-edge photography, and a seamless touring experience, whether in-person or virtual.

Are there any other expenses when it comes to selling my home that I should know about, other than commission?

Among other things, one of the most important to consider is closing costs. With the sale of your home, typical closing costs will be 1.5%-4% of the sale price of the home.
