5 Steps to Sell Your Richmond BC Home for Top Dollar


1. Get a Local Market Evaluation

Pricing your home right from day one is crucial. Use a local realtor who understands Richmond’s micro-markets, not just general Vancouver data.

2. Declutter, Clean, and Stage Your Home

Buyers want to visualize their own life in your space. A clean, neutral, and open layout helps your home stand out — especially in Richmond’s competitive neighborhoods.

3. Hire a Realtor with a Proven Marketing Strategy

Generic listing photos won’t cut it. You need:

  • Professional photography

  • Social media and digital advertising

  • Email marketing

  • MLS and local syndication

  • Targeted open houses

4. Time the Market Smartly

Spring and early fall are typically the busiest times, but 2025 has shown strong year-round activity, especially for homes near schools and transit hubs.

Working with a realtor who understands seasonal buyer psychology in Richmond is a huge advantage.

5. Negotiate Confidently with Expert Support

The right negotiation can mean tens of thousands more in your pocket. From multiple offer strategies to subject removal conditions, having an expert negotiator on your side is essential.
