Andrew and Jeff present a rapid FAQ of common client questions: whether sellers must accept a full-price offer, when commission is owed, who pays commission, how to estimate net proceeds, whether to sell now or wait, how to price correctly, handling direct approaches from neighbours/tenants, marketing choices (photos, staging, signs, open houses), what to fix, oil tank risks, selling with tenants, and why buyers should negotiate in good faith rather than tying up multiple properties. They also discuss Oakridge’s reopening and their expected return to the Oakridge office in October, then review Vancouver market stats showing year-to-date sales.
