What a strong specialist should prove

Can explain pricing strategy with comparable sales, buyer pool, condition, exposure, and timing instead of only quoting a desired list price.

Provides a clear pre-listing plan for photography, staging, repairs, feature positioning, private showings, and launch timing.

Shows how marketing spend, negotiation strategy, commission, prep costs, legal costs, and mortgage payout affect net proceeds.

Has a process for confidential sellers, estate situations, relocation timelines, and higher-value buyer qualification.

Uses reports and transparent assumptions so the seller can compare scenarios before committing.

Questions to ask before you choose

What comparable sales would you use to defend the price range, and which ones would you reject?
What is the difference between the list price strategy and the seller's likely net proceeds?
Which prep items would you do, which would you skip, and why?
How will you qualify buyers before private showings?
What reporting will we receive after launch, showings, feedback, and offer activity?

Local context to discuss

Luxury demand can vary by neighbourhood, property style, lot, waterfront or ravine influence, renovation quality, and proximity to Niagara lifestyle amenities.

Out-of-area buyers may need stronger digital presentation, showing coordination, and relocation context.

Estate, downsizing, and executive relocation files often need timeline planning as much as marketing.
