IslandSold™ Seller Toolkit

1) Seller Readiness Checklist

Use this to prioritize what matters most before photos, showings, and launch day.

Printable workbook

Property Readiness

Declutter main living areas, kitchen counters, and bathrooms

Remove personal photos and highly specific décor

Address obvious deferred maintenance (doors, handles, lights, leaks)

Ensure all rooms have working bulbs (consistent colour temperature)

Clean windows inside and out

Presentation & Staging

Deep clean completed (or scheduled)

Beds made with neutral bedding

Bathrooms staged with minimal items

Outdoor areas tidy (entry, patio/balcony)

Seasonal curb appeal addressed (lawn, beds, sweep, bins)

Documents to Locate Early

Property tax notice

Utility bills (hydro, gas, water)

Strata documents (if applicable)

Survey / floor plan (if available)

Mortgage details (to estimate payout/penalty)

IslandSold™ approach: focus on changes that reduce buyer objections — not unnecessary renovations.

2) Net Proceeds Estimator

Plan with 3 scenarios (Conservative / Expected / Optimistic). Switching scenarios keeps separate inputs and results.

3-scenario toggle

Conservative Expected Optimistic

Each scenario saves its own values on this device.

Inputs

Estimated Sale Price
Realtor Fees (estimate)
Legal Fees & Disbursements
Mortgage Payout / Penalty
Adjustments
Prep Costs
Estimated Net Proceeds

Estimate only. Final numbers confirmed by your lawyer and mortgage provider.

Notes (optional)

Anything to factor in

How it works: switch scenarios and enter different numbers. Each one is saved separately.

3) Pricing Strategy Worksheet

Pricing is a signal. Use this to align expectations and protect negotiating leverage.

Decision worksheet

Conservative

Higher list price · Slower buyer response · Often requires later adjustments

We are comfortable with a longer timeline

We prefer to “test” the market first

Balanced (Most Common)

Aligned with buyer search ranges · Strong early activity · Best balance of leverage + speed

We want strong launch momentum and clean positioning

We want to reduce risk of price reductions later

Aggressive

Creates urgency · Can generate multiple offers · Requires strong presentation & timing

We prioritize urgency and buyer competition

We can accommodate a focused, high-impact launch window

Preferred list price (draft)

Notes (buyer profile, property strengths, risks)

IslandSold™ guidance: the right price isn’t about optimism — it’s about leverage.

4) Showing Day Preparation

Reduce friction. Keep the home consistent, bright, and easy for buyers to tour.

Email-friendly

Day-Of Checklist

Beds made, counters cleared

Garbage & recycling removed

Lights on, blinds open

Pets removed or secured

Vehicles out of driveway (if possible)

During Showings

Leave the property (reduces buyer pressure)

Avoid strong scents / air fresheners

Keep temperature comfortable

House-specific notes (alarm, pets, access, parking, instructions)

5) Offer Comparison Sheet

Compare total deal quality — price, terms, dates, and risk — side by side.

Insert page

Should I renovate before selling?

Usually not full renovations. We focus on upgrades that improve first impressions and reduce buyer objections.

What if my home doesn’t get showings?

We review pricing, online presentation, and launch timing — then adjust deliberately (not reactively).

Is the highest offer always best?

Not always. Conditions, deposit strength, dates, and buyer reliability can matter as much as price.

How do we reduce legal risk?

Clear disclosure, proper documentation, and careful handling of conditions. Your lawyer provides legal advice.

Questions to ask (bring to our consultation)

What’s the best launch window for my neighbourhood?

Which prep items actually impact value vs cost?

What pricing strategy best fits my timeline and risk tolerance?

How will we evaluate offers (price + terms + risk)?
