Selling here and buying elsewhere, stress-free

A new job in another province, retiring somewhere sunny, moving closer to your grandchildren: there are many reasons to leave. The challenge is selling here and buying there without ending up with two houses, or none at all. Here is how we coordinate these projects.

Start with the timeline

Before listing your property, we set a realistic timeline: your desired moving date, typical selling times in your area and how long the search will take at your destination. This timeline guides every decision, from the asking price to the occupancy date written into offers.

Selling here, even remotely

If you have already left, we can handle the sale for you:

• a valuation based on comparable sales in your area;
• preparation, professional photos and marketing;
• showings, offers and negotiation, with electronic signatures;
• coordination with the notary through to the sale.

A trusted broker at your destination

The Keller Williams network includes brokers across Canada and abroad. We introduce you to a broker chosen for your destination and stay in touch with them. You keep a single point of contact: Benoit links the two transactions.

Conditions that protect you

When you buy before selling, or the other way around, certain clauses become valuable. An offer can be conditional on the sale of your current property. A flexible occupancy date can also spare you a double move. We review the options that fit your situation, and refer you to a notary or tax specialist when needed.

Don’t forget the details

• Tell your insurer if the house will be empty during the sale.
• Keep access for upkeep: snow removal, lawn care, heating.
• Gather your documents early: certificate of location, renovation invoices, tax bills.
