Seller Roadmap: 7 Steps to Selling Your Home

Here is how selling a home works in Saskatchewan, from our first conversation to SOLD.

Consultation

We meet to talk about your goals, timeline and next move. Working with us gives you a solid foundation of knowledge and support, plus access to exclusive tools to help you sell fast and for top dollar.

Review Comparables & Price

We go over recent sold and active properties similar to yours so we can strategically price your home for your neighbourhood and today's market.

Sign the Listing Agreement

This lets us put your home on the MLS® System, put a sign in the ground, book showings and market your property to our database of buyers and to other agents.

Measure & Photograph

We measure your home and take professional photos for all marketing materials, online ads and social media, and write a detailed description that sells your home to buyers.

Showings & Offers

Once you're on the market, we're notified whenever a buyer wants to tour your home. We follow up after every showing, and those showings lead to offers.

Negotiations

When an offer comes in, we negotiate price, conditions such as inspections, and possession date through the counter-offer process until we reach an agreement that works for you. You never have to accept an offer you're not happy with.

Conditions, Then SOLD!

The buyer completes their home inspection, mortgage approval and any other conditions in the offer. Once they're satisfied and remove conditions, the deal is firm, which means your home is SOLD. Your lawyer then handles the paperwork for possession day.

Selling Costs at a Glance

Your lawyer will give you a statement showing exactly what you'll receive before possession day. Not sure what your home will sell for? Start with a free home evaluation.

Why Sellers Choose Trusted Realty

• Absolutely no upfront fees. You pay nothing until your home sells.
• You can cancel our listing contract at any time. We earn your business every day.
• A comprehensive marketing strategy that puts your home in front of serious buyers.
• Our database of hundreds of buyers who are ready to purchase now.

Pricing Your Home Right

Price is the biggest factor in how fast your home sells and how much you net. Priced too high, a home sits and buyers start to wonder why. Priced right, it gets the most attention in its first few weeks, when interest is highest.

We base our recommendation on what similar homes in your neighbourhood have actually sold for, not on guesses. See recent sales near you with our Recent Home Sales tool or Street Match.

Home Seller FAQ

How much does it cost to sell a house in Saskatchewan?

The main costs are the Realtor commission set in your listing agreement (plus GST), your lawyer's fees, paying out your mortgage and any prepayment penalty, and adjustments for property taxes or condo fees. Saskatchewan has no land transfer tax, and the buyer pays the title transfer fee.

Do I pay anything upfront to list with Trusted Realty?

No. We charge absolutely no upfront fees. Our commission is paid from the sale proceeds once your home sells and possession takes place.

Can I cancel my listing agreement?

Yes. With Trusted Realty you can cancel our listing contract at any time.

How do you decide on my list price?

We review recent sold and active homes similar to yours in your neighbourhood, adjust for size, condition, updates and lot, and recommend a strategic price that attracts buyers while protecting your bottom line.

Do I have to accept an offer?

No. You never have to accept an offer you are not happy with. You can accept, counter or let it expire, and we negotiate price, conditions and possession date on your behalf.

When is my home officially sold?

Most offers are conditional on things like financing and a home inspection. Once the buyer removes all conditions, the deal is firm and your home is sold. Possession then takes place on the agreed date.

Do I pay capital gains tax when I sell my home?

If the home was your principal residence for every year you owned it, the gain is generally exempt, though the sale must still be reported on your tax return. Rental and investment properties are treated differently, so check with your accountant.
