The first step is finding a trusted Calgary or Alberta REALTOR® who understands your market, knows how to price your home strategically, and has a proven marketing plan.
Your REALTOR® will:
Provide a detailed market evaluation.
Offer guidance on pricing, timing, and presentation.
Handle showings, negotiations, and paperwork.
Your REALTOR® will prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help you price your home competitively based on current market trends, location, and comparable sales.
Tip: The right price attracts more buyers and can lead to a faster, higher-value sale.
First impressions matter.
Before listing, consider:
Decluttering and depersonalizing your space.
Completing small repairs or touch-ups.
Deep cleaning and staging to showcase your home’s best features.
Professional photos and video tours for online marketing.
Pro Tip: A well-presented home often sells faster and for more money.
Your REALTOR® will list your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) and other marketing platforms to reach as many qualified buyers as possible.
They’ll also create a marketing strategy that may include:
Social media promotion.
Open houses and private showings.
Professional signage and print materials.
When offers come in, your REALTOR® will present each one, explain the terms, and guide you through your options.
You can:
Accept the offer as is.
Counter with different terms.
Reject and wait for a better one.
Your agent will handle negotiations to get you the best possible price and conditions.
Once you accept an offer, it may be conditional — meaning the buyer has a short period to confirm financing, complete an inspection, or review documents (if it’s a condo).
Once all conditions are met, the offer becomes firm.
In Alberta, both the buyer and seller must have their own lawyers to complete the transaction.
Your lawyer will:
Prepare the transfer of title.
Handle mortgage payout and disbursement of funds.
Ensure all legal documents are properly executed.
Leading up to possession day, you’ll need to:
Schedule your move-out.
Cancel or transfer utilities.
Leave the home in the agreed-upon condition.
Your lawyer will coordinate with the buyer’s lawyer to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership.
On closing day, once the buyer’s funds are received and the property is transferred, you’ll hand over the keys.
Congratulations — your home is officially sold!
Take a moment to celebrate this milestone and start planning your next chapter — whether it’s buying your next home, investing, or relocating.
