HOW WE CAN HELP

  • BUYING

    1. CONNECT WITH US
    We start with a no-pressure consultation to understand your goals, timeline, and budget. This is where we map out your must-haves and your nice-to-haves.

    2. GET PRE-APPROVED
    We’ll connect you with trusted mortgage professionals to determine your buying power and lock in your budget with confidence.

    3. START YOUR HOME SEARCH
    With your criteria in hand, we begin the search—booking showings, sending you new listings, and narrowing down your perfect match.

    4. MAKE AN OFFER
    Once we find the one, we walk you through the offer process, negotiate on your behalf, and make sure the terms work in your favour.

    5. HOME INSPECTION & CONDITIONS
    We help coordinate inspections and walk you through fulfilling (or waiving) conditions with clarity and support.

    6. FINAL STEPS & POSSESSION DAY
    After conditions are removed, we handle the final paperwork, stay in touch with your lawyer, and celebrate with you when the keys are yours!

    SEARCH FOR HOMES

  • SELLING

    1. INITIAL CONSULTATION
    We start with a walk-through of your home and a conversation about your goals, timing, and expectations. This is where we begin crafting your custom selling strategy.

    2. HOME PREPARATION & STAGING
    From decluttering to full-service staging, we make sure your home is market-ready. Our in-house staging highlights your property’s best features and helps buyers fall in love at first sight.

    3. PRICING & STRATEGY
    We provide a detailed market analysis to determine the ideal listing price. Then we build a plan that combines smart pricing with strategic timing and marketing.

    4. PROFESSIONAL MARKETING
    We showcase your home with high-quality photography, compelling descriptions, social media exposure, and MLS® syndication to reach the right buyers quickly.

    5. SHOWINGS & OFFERS
    We coordinate showings, gather feedback, and keep you informed every step of the way. When offers come in, we negotiate on your behalf to secure the best terms possible.

    6. SOLD & MOVING FORWARD
    Once an offer is accepted, we guide you through the closing process—right up to the moment you hand over the keys and step into your next chapter.

  • STAGING

    1. STAGING CONSULTATION
    We begin with a walk-through to assess your home’s layout, flow, and focal points. You’ll receive expert recommendations tailored to your space, whether you’re looking for a full transformation or a few impactful touches.

    2. CUSTOMIZED STAGING PLAN
    Based on your home and goals, we create a personalized staging plan—whether it's occupied, vacant, or somewhere in between. We’ll determine which rooms to style, what pieces to bring in, and how to best showcase your home’s potential.

    3. SET-UP & STYLING
    Our team handles the heavy lifting—from furniture placement to décor and accessories. Every detail is thoughtfully curated to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that photographs beautifully and connects with buyers emotionally.

    4. LISTING-READY
    Once staging is complete, your home is photo-ready and positioned to make a powerful first impression online and in person. We coordinate with your real estate listing schedule for a seamless transition into showings and marketing.

    5. DE-STAGING & WRAP-UP
    After your home sells, we take care of removal and cleanup, leaving your space exactly as we found it. Easy, efficient, and completely stress-free.

  • I had Jolene reach out to me as I was looking for a reputable realtor to help me purchase my first home. From the beginning, she was very polite and professional. She would give you all of the inside information you needed to know about the homes we were going to review. She also didn't hesitate to respond and explain any questions we had. She provided a exceptional experience for me being a first time home buyer. I highly recommend Jolene.
