After attempting to sell our condo ourselves, we decided to call on the expertise of our real estate agent (and friend) Jean-Claude Bertrand. In truth, we probably would have been able to sell the condo on our own, but because of the short timeline (we needed to sell our condo before going to the notary for the purchase of our townhouse) we opted against it.
JC was amazing, he listed the condo and refused to show it to anyone for a whole week. This created anticipation. He also scheduled most visits so they overlapped a little. This created a sense of urgency. The result? We sold our condo to the first visitor for very close to our asking price and with the dates that we wanted. Though it cost us a pretty penny in commission, it was definitely worth going with an agent for the sale of this place. We’re glad we did it.
