Putting your house on the market in Thornhill? Fine. But, for a few good reasons, be sure to engage the "right" real estate agent. First, one needs to put some distance between the prospective Thornhill buyer and Thornhill seller. When prospective buyers come to see your property, they're not looking at YOUR house. What the see is THEIR home; what THEY can make of it... how THEIR furniture will fit and how THEIR family will use the space. That would-be buyer isn't really interested in how you live in your Thornhill home but in how HIS or HER family will.
Gitta Levi, as a top selling Thornhill real estate professional, qualifies each prospect before she shows your home. Gitta does not show the house to just anyone who calls. She meets the prosective purchasers in her Thornhill office and qualifies them as to their interest and ability to purchase. You'll only see those prospective buyers who really need and want a Thornhill house or condo like yours. And Gitta knows how to show the property, emphasizing the features the buyer wants, not those the seller thinks are important. Part of the qualifying process is communication; the ability of the agent to separate what the Thornhill purchaser expresses from what he/she actually means. It's the skill, experience and talent of Gitta Levi to communicate effectively and get precise insight into what the Thornhill buyer is actually looking for that will determine how quickly and effectively a match can be achieved.
A sad truth that experts can point to regarding real estate advertising in Thornhill is that only about three percent of the people who call to inquire about a property are really interested in it. Some can't afford it. Some really want something else. And some are "just looking".
Other than the technical know-how required in selling real estate: marketing, financing, legal matters, etc., its "people skills", the understanding that Thornhill sellers and Thornhill buyers are individuals with their own specific needs and aspirations, that deifferentiate one agent from the next. And, while it may appear that all agents can deliver the same service and performance, it is that undefinable quality of being sensitive to and astute in "reading people" that makes Gitta Levi a more effective go-between than another.

Century 21 How to Get Top Dollar from Your Thornhill Home or Condo--ask Gitta Levi!
Every Thornhill property owner wants to receive the maximum profit from a home or condo sale. Although your property may already look great and represent a super offer to potential buyers, here are a few tips from Gitta Levi , one of Century 21's top Thornhill Broker, that can help to bring out its best features.
1. Emphasize your Thornhill property's curb appeal, as you work on your home’s external appearance. Trim the lawn and eliminate weeds. Dress up the porch or front door with a fresh coat of paint and hanging plants or a wreath. Set out a couple of cozy chairs, and pick up all the kids’ toys around the yard. Your Thornhill property's front entrance will welcome or repel guests, setting the tone for their overall basic impression.2. De-clutter the interior. Remove junk like stacks of newspapers or magazines, pet toys, and stray blankets or mail. Store unused furniture in the attic or basement of your Thornhill home. Your rooms should look comfortable and lived in without feeling crowded. Cover worn spots in furniture with a nice "throw". Vacuum draperies for a fresh feel. Have the beds made, and decorated with throw cushions, and all clothes put away or out of view. Leave plenty of walking space within each room, and when possible, open drapes and blinds to let in sunshine and provide an overall open feeling.3. Clean your property thoroughly before the Thornhill Open House. Dust furniture, scrub floors, polish wood, sweep steps, and do whatever else it takes to show your house at its best. Trim dead leaves from plants, replace burned-out light bulbs, and keep counters clear of dishes or debris. Try to remove spots on the carpet.4. Make it smell nice. Open the windows and air out your home. Burn potpourri or candles before potential Thornhill buyers come to see your house, which will help to reduce unpleasant cooking or pet odors. Clean the bathrooms, and run the whole-house fan or air conditioner to circulate air and enhance ventilation. Put ferns in some rooms, as they help to absorb odors and add a natural green touch.5. Keep animals out of the way. Some Thornhill homebuyers don’t like the idea of purchasing property from pet owners. They worry about fleas, stains, shedding, and odors. Make sure none of this is evident, if you have pets. In fact, keep your pet locked up, crated, or out of view during an open house or when potential buyers in Thornhill come through.Many of us take our property for granted. But like anything else, when it goes on the market, a house or condo needs to look its best. Take a couple of hours to put your property in its best light before Thornhill buyers come calling. Gitta Levi has "dressed" many a house and condo in Thornhill, and uses these successful techniques, for maximum selling price for her sellers. She can do the same for you!
