Seller’s guide
The Calgary Home Seller’s Guide
Selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make. Our free guide explains how we price, prepare and market your home, what selling costs in Alberta and what to expect from listing to possession day.
What’s inside the guide
- Our selling process, step by step, from the first consultation to keys on possession day.
- What your home is worth: how a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) compares with an appraisal and the City of Calgary assessment.
- How we price your home from sold, active and expired comparables, and what moves value.
- Preparing your home: a practical checklist, and when renovating before selling usually isn’t worth it.
- Marketing and offers: the MLS® System, REALTOR.ca, photography, showings and negotiating the terms that matter to you.
- What it costs to sell in Alberta: commission, legal fees, the Real Property Report (RPR) and compliance, mortgage payout.
- Timelines, and how a listing compares with a direct cash offer.
- A seller checklist and answers to common questions.
