Selling, or renting it out

Sell it, or rent it out? See both before you list.

I’m licensed to sell homes and to manage rentals, so I put the two side by side: what a sale would net you today, and what the home would earn as a rental after management and costs. Whichever you choose, the price comes with its working.

How I price a home

Three sets of numbers, shown to you

The competition

Every active listing like yours in the CREA DDF® feed, the same feed REALTOR.ca publishes from. It is what a buyer could choose instead of your home.

The recent sales

Comparable sales from the board’s records. The licence lets me walk you through them, not publish them, so you see them when we meet.

The pace

Days on market and months of supply for your home type and area, from CREB®’s monthly report, with the source linked.

You get a price range and the reasoning in writing. On other homes I publish what I would pay before the outcome is known; that record is here.

What you get

What is included when I list your home

Both options, one licence

Selling and property management are both on my RECA licence, so “sell or rent it out?” gets a real comparison. Management fees are published.

Professional photography

Photography and the MLS® listing package, with scope and costs set out in your written proposal.

Commission in writing

Commission is negotiable and set in a written agreement before you list. How that works.

Offers side by side

Every offer’s price, conditions, possession date and financing laid out net of costs, with what I would counter and why.

A prep list, not a renovation

A prioritized list of what to fix before photos and what to leave, with rough costs.

Selling and buying at once

If you are buying too, I line up both possession dates so you are not paying for two homes longer than you need to.

The Selling Process

From Consultation to Closed, Step by Step

1

Valuation and strategy

We review the home, its condition and relevant market evidence, then set out a price range and the reasons behind it.

I give you a prioritized action list, what to repair, stage, or update for maximum buyer appeal. I can put you in touch with contractors if needed.

3

Professional Photography & Listing Creation

You approve the photography, listing copy and MLS® information before publication.

4

Active Marketing Campaign

We launch the agreed marketing plan, coordinate showings and review buyer feedback.

5

Offer Review & Negotiation

I present all offers with a clear analysis of each one, price, conditions, possession date, and buyer strength. I negotiate on price, conditions and timing, and you see the trade-offs before you decide.

6

Conditions Removal & Closing

I coordinate conditions, inspections and buyer requests with you and your lawyer through closing.

FAQ

Seller Questions, Answered

Prefer a flat fee or a negotiable rate? See my full-service selling page, one clear fee you approve upfront.

Want flexibility on commission without giving up marketing? My commission is negotiable and every listing still gets full-service marketing, not a bare MLS post. See negotiable commission & full-service selling. If you want the arithmetic first, how Calgary realtor fees and commission work runs the common structures against a real sale price.

Behind on the mortgage, or a foreclosure letter has already arrived? That is a different conversation and a private one. Your options before a judicial sale in Alberta walks through the four realistic paths and the two phone calls worth making first.

How much does it cost to sell a home in Calgary?
The main cost is real estate commission (paid at closing, negotiable), plus legal/conveyancing fees ($1,200–$2,500 including disbursements and GST, typical Calgary quotes as of September 2026). You may also have costs for pre-sale repairs, staging, or property tax adjustments. Alberta has no land transfer tax, and the Land Titles fee for registering the transfer is normally paid by the buyer. I provide a complete seller net sheet so there are no surprises at closing.
How do you price my home correctly?
I start from three sets of numbers: the active listings your home would compete with, recent comparable sales (the board's licence lets me walk you through these, not publish them), and the current pace for your home type and area from CREB's monthly report. You get a specific price range and the reasoning in writing. A home priced above that range tends to sit, and a long days-on-market count weakens your position with buyers.
How long does it take to sell in Calgary?
It depends on price range, home type and area, and it changes month to month. CREB publishes days on market and months of supply every month; I'll show you the current figures for your home type and area, with the source, before we set a price.
Should I renovate before selling?
It depends on the work. Small fixes such as paint, repairs, cleaning and decluttering are usually worth doing before photos; large kitchen or bathroom renovations often cost more than they add to the price. I'll walk through your home and give you a prioritized list with rough costs: what to do and what to skip.
What's the best time to sell in Calgary?
The calendar matters less than the price and the preparation. I'll show you this year's month-by-month CREB numbers for your home type and area, so the timing decision rests on current data rather than a rule of thumb.

A second opinion on your selling plan

Before you list or relaunch, review the asking-price rationale, competing homes, presentation, showing access and estimated selling costs. You receive a written explanation of what I would reconsider, why, and what needs checking before a decision.

Example format, not a client result: if photos leave the layout unclear, the review could recommend a measured floor plan and new room photographs, then checking viewing feedback after launch.

If you have a representation agreement, raise concerns with your current agent or brokerage first. Withdrawing a listing may not end that agreement. I will confirm its status before discussing a new listing engagement; this review is not an invitation to break an agreement.
