Behind the Scenes:

Why do we include the services that we do?

When our team lists your home, we go well beyond industry norms to make sure that your home is presented in its best light. This means that we include services like home staging, pre-list inspection, touch-ups and more at no additional cost to you.

Home Staging, Inspection, Touch-ups and More: Why Do We Include These Things?

On the Nick Fundytus Team, we understand that selling your home is a significant life event, and we’re committed to making the process as smooth and successful as possible. That’s why our team covers the cost of several key services to ensure your listing stands out in the market. Let’s explore why we include home staging, pre-list home inspection, touch-ups, photography, videography, 3D tours, floor plans, and HoodQ neighbourhood reports as part of our comprehensive listing package.

Home Staging

Home staging is a crucial step in preparing your home for sale. It involves arranging furniture and decor to highlight your home’s best features and make it more appealing to potential buyers. A well-staged home can help buyers visualize themselves living in the space, which can lead to quicker sales and higher offers. By covering the cost of home staging, we ensure your home looks its best from day one.

 

Our preferred stagers are the experts at Room Remedy. We include a consultation with them for our clients at no cost to you, and will include physical staging if it makes sense for your home.

Pre-List Home Inspection

A pre-list home inspection provides a thorough assessment of your home’s condition before it hits the market. This proactive step helps identify any issues that could potentially deter buyers or delay the sale. By addressing these issues upfront, you can sell your home with confidence, knowing there won’t be any surprises during the buyer’s inspection. It also shows buyers that you’ve taken good care of your home, building their trust and making your listing more attractive. Finally, by making a home inspection available to potential buyers, we increase their confidence in making a strong offer on your home.

 

We include the services of The Full Storey for our pre-list inspections.

Touch-Ups

First impressions matter, and even minor imperfections can impact a buyer’s perception of your home. That’s why we include a shared budget of up to $1000 for touch-ups, such as fresh paint, minor repairs, or landscaping. We’ll match you dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $2,000 ($1,000 each) and reimburse you on closing. These touch-ups can significantly enhance your home’s curb appeal and interior aesthetics, making it more inviting and appealing to buyers.

Photography

High-quality photography is essential for showcasing your home online, where most buyers start their search. Professional photos highlight your home’s best features and create a strong first impression. Our team ensures that your listing stands out with stunning images that capture the essence and beauty of your home.

Videography

Everyone loves stories, and our videos tell your home’s story in a way that invites the viewer in and helps them to imagine making it their own.

 

In addition to photos, video tours provide an immersive experience that allows potential buyers to explore your home from the comfort of their own. Videography brings your listing to life, offering a dynamic view of the space and helping buyers feel more connected to the property. This can be a deciding factor for many buyers and can lead to quicker, more competitive offers.

We’ve been telling great stories for our clients for years. See some on our YouTube channel. 

Connecting with Trusted Professionals

Maybe this should be higher on the list, since we help with this all the time

 

Over the years, I’ve built a network of trusted professionals, including mortgage brokers, home inspectors, contractors, and attorneys. If you need recommendations for any services related to your home, I can connect you with reliable experts who can help.

3D Tour

A 3D tour takes the virtual experience a step further, allowing buyers to navigate through your home at their own pace. This interactive feature provides a realistic sense of the layout and flow of the space, making it easier for buyers to imagine living there. 3D tours have become increasingly popular and can set your listing apart from the competition.

 

Our team uses both MatterPort and iGuide 3D tours depending upon the suitability for that home. You can see examples on our listings.

Floor Plan

A detailed floor plan provides essential information about the layout and dimensions of your home. It helps buyers understand the flow of the space and envision how they might use each room. Including a floor plan in your listing can attract more serious buyers who appreciate having all the information they need to make an informed decision.

HoodQ Neighbourhood Report

Location is a key factor in any real estate decision. The HoodQ neighbourhood report provides detailed insights into the area surrounding your home, including information on schools, parks, transit, and amenities. This report helps buyers understand the benefits of your location and can be a significant selling point for your property.

Why We Invest in These Services

All of these services combined cost our team around $3,000 to launch a listing. We believe that investing in the proper preparation of your listing, along with correct pricing and great marketing, helps our clients sell quickly and for the highest price. Our goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free experience that maximizes your home’s potential and ensures you achieve the best possible outcome.

By including these services, we demonstrate our commitment to your success and show that we’re willing to invest in your home as if it were our own. Trust us to guide you through the selling process with expertise, dedication, and a personal touch that sets us apart.
