Our client services looks to build a relationship with clients that lasts long after the real estate transaction is completed.

More and more, Realtors® are striving to provide services that go beyond what is expected.
While charging the standard commission rate, we are adding inestimable value by offering our clients the service of “Real Estate Concierges” for all things to do with the home, from change-of-address services to recommendations for trusted tax advice, handymen and remodeling contractors.

Ease the Stress of Moving
Moving is said to be among the most stressful experiences in life, falling just behind death and divorce. The stresses of buying and selling can feel overwhelming at times, particularly on the cusp of a new life stage. Along with the excitement and apprehension of new beginnings, many carry the emotional baggage of loss, anxiety and fear. Beyond compassion, our Real Estate Concierge has the experience, resources and certification to not only empathize with a client’s stress but to anticipate, alleviate and avoid potential difficulties.
Real Estate Concierge Services for the Seller
While most Realtors® will provide an assessment of your home’s value and market and list your home, he or she could leave you on your own when it comes to making decisions on repairs or upgrades to your property and finding trusted reliable and affordable vendors to do the necessary work. On the other hand, our Real Estate Concierge will do the legwork of gathering bids and coordinating appointments with repairmen, contractors, painters and cleaning people.
One of the most important concierge services can offer is organizing a pre-inspection period of your home. This inspection is specifically for the seller to ensure there are no unwanted surprises when the buyer comes to inspect your house. Having a Real Estate Concierge coordinate the follow-up that an inspection may require removes the burden from the homeowner and ultimately produces a more confident, prepared seller.
When it comes to moving and storage, our concierge service can connect you with trusted vendors to coordinate cleaning up and clearing out. A great way to tidy up your future home is to sort through your old one and get rid of items months in advance through garage sales, giving to friends or selling online via Kijiji or Facebook. Our Real Estate Concierge can help you prioritize an action plan and punch every hole in your moving checklist.
Our Real Estate Concierge professionals aim to help you present your home in its best possible light by coordinating with a valuable network of best-in-class service providers for general home inspection, roof inspection, staging inside and outside, general contracting, handiwork, and professional cleaning.
