Trevor's 10 DON'TS When Selling
Here are 10 common missteps that can cost you time and money when selling real estate in Barrie and the surrounding area.
1. Don’t show a messy house
A cluttered or dirty home distracts buyers from seeing its potential.
2. Don’t be home for showings
Buyers feel more comfortable exploring freely when you’re not present.
3. Don’t ignore dust, fingerprints, or smudges
Clean surfaces and sparkling windows give the impression of a well-cared-for home.
4. Don’t neglect the lawn or deck
Good curb appeal can boost your salability.
5. Don’t leave personal items everywhere
Too many photos or knick-knacks distract buyers from envisioning themselves in the home.
6. Don’t skip making beds or hiding dishes
Small details make a big difference in perception.
7. Don’t fall for gimmicks
Real estate has been about fundamentals (clean, staged, well-priced) for decades.
8. Don’t forget to check your agent’s track record
Ask how many homes they’ve sold and their experience in your neighbourhood.
9. Don’t mask smells with plug-ins
Real buyers notice and it can feel inauthentic.
10. Don’t list with anyone other than a trusted, experienced team
Your choice of agent matters. A proven team like ours gets results.
10 Steps After Selling Your Home
Once your offer is accepted, there are key actions to take to ensure a smooth transition:
1. Contact your lawyer
Make sure they have all signed agreements and documents to handle closing efficiently.
2. Confirm details with your bank
Ensure your bank has all your information and that mortgage and closing funds are properly managed.
3. Notify your cable/satellite provider
Schedule final billing and transfer or cancellation as needed.
4. Contact your phone and internet provider
Ensure services end at the right time and start at your new address if moving locally.
5. Call your insurance company
Update or cancel policies to align with your move.
6. Change your address with Canada Post
Avoid missed bills or important correspondence.
7. Book movers or a rental truck
Schedule early to avoid peak-season stress.
8. Sort through unwanted items
Donate, discard, or hold a garage sale to lighten your load.
9. Collect boxes and start packing
Label carefully and keep essentials handy. Don’t wait until the last minute as it will just add to the overwhelm.
10. Leave your home in good condition
A clean, well-maintained handover protects agreements and reduces post-sale issues.
