Selling your home in Glen Abbey

Glen Abbey buyers are usually families moving up inside Oakville who want a mature street, a lot that backs onto the Sixteen Mile Creek valley or the golf course, and an address in the Abbey Park school area. They know the housing stock, mostly two storey homes from the late seventies through the nineties, and they sort listings by what has been updated since. A seller with an original kitchen and bathrooms should price for that rather than rush a renovation; a seller who has already done the work should document it with dates and permits. Ravine and course backing lots earn a separate set of photographs taken from the yard looking out. Stan Bernardo's team lists these homes in the weeks before families settle a school year decision, when they are most active, and readies the house for comparison shoppers who will tour three similar homes the same weekend.

Selling detached homes in Glen Abbey starts with knowing who is already looking there. Stan Bernardo's team has sold across Oakville and Mississauga since the late 1990s; the buyers for Glen Abbey tend to arrive with a street list, a school assignment and a commute they have already tested. The team prices from what detached homes on these streets have recently closed for, prepares the home with a stager, and launches when the largest audience for Glen Abbey is watching. Photography, a floor plan, video, MLS® exposure and the team's own buyer list come with every listing. A written valuation is the first step, before anything else is decided.
