Why are multiple offers so effective?

This week, we successfully sold another home in Mississauga.  I'm happy to say we got 65 showings, 8 offers and almost +$200,000 over the listing price. The reason is because we use a blind-bidding system. This means that potential buyers have NO IDEA what other buyers have offered. The spread can be incredible. Differences are routinely $100,000 to $200,000 between the low and high...

How to Get the Most from Multiple Offers

The average house in the GTA sold for almost $1,100,000, so the demand is still going strong. Many think, "you just put the house up and it will sell". This is true - it will eventually sell.  But did you leave money on the table? This week, we successfully sold a home in Vaughan.  I'm happy to say we got 76 showings, 5 offers and almost +$200,000 over the listing price. To sell for the most in...

Last week, I was pleased to bring one of my clients to Cambridge to buy this amazing...

Spring is Just Around the Corner!

We are entering the Spring Market and this week, the real estate market has been pretty strong. But there are pockets where houses tried for multiple offers and failed. Whether it's because they were expecting a TOTALLY crazy price or nobody showed up on offer day, who knows? Now the question is: what will the seller do? My feeling is some will re-list at a higher price, while others who "tried and...
