Your guide to selling your home
Jeff was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. He comes from a family of Realtors, Architects, and
Accountants. They share the same passion: snow-covered peaks, glassy smooth lakes, all things Real Estate,
and quality time with those around them. After graduating from Selkirk College in 2016, his career path
would eventually take him from Ski Area Management to Real Estate.
Those who know Jeff know how much joy it brings to build him relationships with those around him. A simple
errand or walk through the dog park is almost always accompanied by meeting new locals and listening to
their unique stories about finding the Kootenays.
The Kennedys believe in top-quality marketing for all homes no matter the price point. “People like nice
things, they like to buy nice things and to that extent, the marketing of a home should reflect that same
mantra. Whether it be high-quality professional real estate photography, custom floor plans, staging, print
and online design work it all should be high quality. And the cherry on top is bringing all these marketing
pieces together in order to source the right buyer for your property.” Bringing buyers and sellers together in
an authentic way has always been the hallmark of the Kennedys' 20 plus years working in the real estate
industry in Alberta and BC. “We always look forward to the opportunity to connect the real estate dots for
our clients. And no dots are the same. And we like it that way!” For all your real estate needs don’t forget
to #CallTheKennedys!

An Easy Guide
to Selling
01
INITIAL TOUR
Sometimes called Research & Discovery, I will tour your property and provide insights for how to set your sale up for
success. I may also discuss initial marketing strategies and will walk you through the selling process.
LISTING APPOINTMENT
Once I have completed a Comparative Market Analysis,
we will meet again to determine the final list price,
discuss your expectations, and sign the listing
documents that create the listing contract.
PRE-LAUNCH
After our listing appointment, I will make the necessary
arrangements to prepare your home for sale. Marketing
photography, signage, and lock boxes will be collected
and installed so we will be ready to launch.
LAUNCH DAY
We are ready to go live! Your listing will become
accessible to all prospective buyers, signage will be
installed and all agreed upon marketing will be
distributed.
04 | AN EASY GUIDE TO SELLING
BUYER PROSPECTING
Your property will be marketed through all available
channels, and marketing will continue until an offer is
accepted.
INSPECTIONS
Depending on the Buyer's mortgage lender, your home
will likely undergo a series of inspections. It is best to be
out of the house for these. I will guide you through any
potential post-contract negotiations resulting from the
inspector’s findings.
LOAN COMMITMENTS
Your property will undergo an appraisal by the lender to
ensure the Buyer is not overpaying. Further
documentation will be collected and verified to proceed
with closing the sale.
CLOSING PREPARATIONS
I must ensure all lender and Buyer requirements are met
before the closing deadline. I will provide any remaining
documents and your lawyer will contact you to schedule
the official closing appointment. Your lawyer will review
the final figures before the appointment. There will likely
be a final walkthrough by the Buyer before possession
date.
CLOSING
During the appointment, the conveyancer will determine what fees are owed by whom and prepare your final
closing documents. The closing will ensure all fees are paid, the seller receives the money owed, and that the title is
transferred to the buyer.
NEGOTIATIONS & AGREEMENT
When an offer is made, I will help you determine the
best course of action and respond accordingly until an
agreement is reached.
