Commission Is Not The Expensive Part
The expensive mistake is launching with the wrong buyer story, weak photos, a soft follow-up rhythm, or a price that helps competing listings look better.
The first mistake is treating every home like the same listing. A family home, condo, duplex, triplex, or investment property needs a different buyer story, price argument, prep list, and negotiation plan before it goes public.
The work is practical: know who would buy, what they would pay for, what should be fixed, what should be left alone, and how offers will be judged when pressure starts.

Before going public, the team checks active buyers asking for LaSalle, Verdun, Lachine, Dorval, and West Island homes so the first move is not just waiting online.
The seller call looks at what recently sold, what buyers rejected, what the city assessment misses, and what should be fixed before anyone talks about a final price.
Photos, room notes, inclusions, showing windows, Centris details, Sutton exposure, and buyer follow-up are prepared before the market forms its first opinion.
After showings, the useful information is not just whether someone liked it. The follow-up looks for objections about price, layout, condition, financing, and timing.
If the next purchase depends on this sale, the plan compares conditional offers, bridge timing, rent-back, possession dates, and the risk of being between two homes.
A LaSalle family home, a Verdun condo, and a Lachine plex do not sell for the same reason. The first review is about who would pay for the home and why.
The asking price is checked against recent sales, city assessment, condition, buyer pressure, and the number you would regret leaving on the table.
Before the listing hits Centris, Team Nakovski checks whether active buyers already want that area, property type, parking, yard, layout, or income potential.
Inspection, financing, inclusions, possession date, repair requests, and rent-back needs can change the real value of an offer. Those details get negotiated deliberately.
