The Ottawa area has several special luxury neighbourhoods consisting of many incredibly unique and beautifully decorated homes. As this market is smaller and more specialized, when selling a luxury home, several factors and considerations should be made. Sellers should try and see their home from the potential purchaser’s perspective. They will have extremely high expectations, and there will be a smaller number interested.

Ask your Agent if offering special items in the home, such as furniture sets, art, or patio furnishings would increase the interest. As you get ready for showing the house, consider the use of a professional stager. Stagers are great at depersonalizing the home, optimizing space, and ultimately allowing potential buyers to visualize their furniture and belongings in the home. If you have a large landscape, you may also want to consider working with an experienced gardener or landscaper to ensure the grounds of your home are ready to be shown at their full potential.

Your Agent may advise that you only have private showings and not invite the public. If this is the case, you may want to utilize your personal social media to reach your friends and any potential buyers to let them know your home is on the market. Selling a luxury property may take more time, however, working alongside your experienced Royal LePage® Team Realty Agent will help you to navigate the process and ultimately find the right buyer to make for a successful sale.
