Selling a house privately in Ontario can be a great way to avoid real estate commission fees, but it also requires a solid understanding of the process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the private sale process:

1. Prepare Your Property

If you’re able to make repairs and clean up, that’s great! However, with Northview Home Buyers, it’s not necessary. We buy homes as-is, so you won’t have to worry about making any improvements, cleaning, or even boosting curb appeal. We’ll purchase your property in its current condition, saving you time, effort, and money.

2. Determine Your Asking Price

Setting the right price is essential when selling privately. Research the prices of recently renovated homes in your area to get a sense of the market. Also, consider the costs of any potential renovations you’d need to make to get to that value. This will help you price your property competitively while factoring in the work required.

3. Negotiate and Accept an Offer

Once you receive offers, it’s time to negotiate. Review each offer carefully and consider the buyer’s financial readiness and contingencies. You may want legal assistance to ensure everything is in order during negotiations.

Find more information on handling offers in our offer guide.

4. Close the Sale

Once an offer is accepted, you’ll need to finalize the sale. This involves signing a purchase agreement, working with a lawyer to ensure all legalities are covered, and transferring ownership of the property.
