Luxury Homes

When buying or selling luxury homes, partnering with a Realtor® experienced with the nuances of this type of real estate product is crucial to ensuring a successful transaction. Luxury Homes in Regina are defined as homes with a value greater than $1 million. A skilled and knowledgeable real estate agent can leverage their professional expertise, cutting edge technologies and tools, and a thoughtfully developed network of high-end buyers and sellers to get the job done right. Discerning buyers and sellers of estate homes seek an elevated real estate experience and are well versed in the unique home features and lifestyle amenities fundamental to these homes. Kelsey Smith has cultivated an influential community of buyers, sellers, developers, and investors to facilitate an unparalleled level of service within the Regina luxury market.

An Elevated Experience For Luxury Home Buyers And Sellers

The process of buying and selling in the luxury home market presents some unique challenges. These strategies help us ensure the needs of our luxury home buyers and seller are our focus:

Staying In The Know: By regularly and routinely reviewing and assessing all listed properties meeting the definition of luxury, we are able to direct our buyers to the most suitable properties and position our sellers most effectively against the competition.
Informed Pricing: Comparative Market Analyses and in-depth understanding of the unique features of luxury homes guide our strategies when pricing homes for sale and when writing fair and competitive offers for purchase. 

The Economy Of Luxury: The drivers of market conditions within the luxury niche can be different than those factors driving pricing among average homes in Regina. Kelsey Smith monitors current market conditions and other economic factors to provide her clients with the most up-to-date and insightful information.

Perceptive Marketing Strategies: The time frame to sell luxury properties is often longer than average homes and marketing strategies need to be exceptional to convey the uniqueness and exclusivity of a luxury home.

The Kelsey Smith Home Buying Process

We have streamlined the home buying process to make it as easy and stress-free as possible. You can count on transparency, availability, attention to detail, and strong negotiating at offer time. This is what you can expect with the Kelsey Smith home buying process.

Consultation for Home Buyers

Consultation for Home Buyers

Are you buying a house in Regina or the surrounding area? You may want to jump right in and schedule viewings. However, prior to starting the physical home search, I ask that buyers meet with me for a “Buyer Consult” session. During this meeting, I explain what to expect at every step when buying a home. We discuss the criteria of your dream home, what defects are important to look for when viewing homes, and everything else from the home inspection, and negotiations to how to choose your real estate lawyer.

Mortgage Pre-Approval

Mortgage Pre-Approval

Home buyers should be pre-approved for a mortgage so that they know exactly how much house they can afford. If you don't have a pre-approval, you could be disappointed to find out you cannot afford the house you find or you could lose the deal while waiting for approval. Even if you’re certain you qualify, getting a pre-approval from a Regina mortgage broker can streamline the process and ensure your finances are set to go when you are ready to make an offer. It also makes the final mortgage approval process much faster and less stressful for you!

Once we’ve had our “Buyer Consult” and you’ve received your pre-approval, we can start looking at homes seriously. I encourage buyers to use any of the available platforms when looking for Regina MLS listings. KelseySmith.ca has up-to-date listing information and the ability to customize your search criteria for an elevated search experience. As your Regina Realtor®, I will also search for and send you listings that meet your requirements. Once we have a handful of possibilities picked out, I will schedule the viewings on your behalf and we will go house hunting together.

Making An Offer

Making An Offer

When you’re ready to make an offer, I will explain to you the terms, conditions, and legalities of the contract. Most importantly, I perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) on the property to ensure you pay no more than fair market value and ideally a little less than that! I will help you formulate a strong offer that has the highest likelihood of being accepted by the sellers. Remember that using a buyer's agent is a free service to you as a home buyer. The commissions for a buyer’s agent are paid for by the seller.

Consultation With Sellers

Consultation With Sellers

Are you selling your home in Regina or the surrounding area? It is important to understand the current Regina market conditions, the other properties currently for sale, how much similar properties have sold for recently, and more. It is also important for me to understand your reasons for selling, what makes you home unique, your timelines, and more. Are you looking to sell fast? Do you want to hold out for top dollar? I recommend we start with a “Seller Consult” session. This is an opportunity for me to view your property, understand more about your goals for this sale, and let you know what you can expect from the home selling process. Let’s connect and make a plan to sell your home.

Determine The List Price

Determine The List Price

The first step to selling a Regina home is to determine the list price.  A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is automatically provided as part of my service. The CMA will highlight comparable properties that have already sold in your area. I make upward or downward adjustments based on the similarities, differences, and upgrades between your property and the comparables. A home appraisal can also determine a home's value. If you are unsure of the value of the home, consider having both a CMA and a professional home appraisal done.

When I assess the market value of a property, I consider many factors. Average prices in a neighbourhood, how many active listings, sold listings, and Regina's market as a whole are all determinants when pricing a home effectively. Most importantly, I will take the time to explain these reports to you so that we can decide on the best price to list the home, together. I promise transparent education to you, the homeowner, on the condition of the local market so you can make the most informed decisions.

While The House Is On The Market

Once the list price has been decided, we will review the listing contract which outlines the desired possession, real estate fees, legal description, and many other terms and conditions of the sale. I will help you prepare your home for the market by providing staging consultations and providing you with my "Ultimate To-Do List For Selling A Home In Regina." (link to list)

 Among my other responsibilities, my priority is to communicate with my client. I send weekly market updates, keeping you aware of any new listings, conditional sales, or properties that have sold in your area. The Regina real estate market can change quickly if a large number of homes come onto the market or sell within a short time frame. I keep analytics of how all my Regina MLS® listings are performing online by tracking how many views they get on Realtor.ca, Facebook, and other social media platforms. 

I have a unique approach to marketing Regina homes for sale. I always take professional photos and showcase the listing using SEO-friendly video and written content. The goal is to attract as many buyers as possible.

Receiving An Offer

Receiving An Offer

Once you receive an offer, I will negotiate with the buyers on your behalf and we will work together to get an acceptable sale price for you. The “conditions period” is the 7-10 day period the buyer requires to get approval of a mortgage, and complete the home inspection and any other inspections they need. I will act as a liaison between the buyer and their agent and you to provide any additional information they request. 

Once conditions have been removed, the seller can disconnect utilities, meet with their lawyers, and move forward with the sale process. The home is not officially SOLD until mortgage funds have been transferred.
