Buying or Selling a Strata Property – What You Need to Know

If you are considering buying or selling a strata property, Caleb is a valuable asset and he will use a unique, specialized approach that will help you navigate the complexities of the transaction from start to finish. Whether the property is a condo, townhome, half duplex, or a bare land strata—you need an experienced agent on your side with the knowledge, insights and industry contacts to properly advise you. For example, when it comes to buying or selling strata titled properties, your agent needs to have an understanding of the strata docs, including the title to the property, the strata plan, the bylaws, the financials and the depreciation report (just to name a few). Most importantly, Caleb uses a network of industry professionals to ensure that his all of his clients' needs are met rather than trying to stickhandle the entire transaction alone. In fact, Caleb uses a collaborative, team approach to ensure all of your needs are met. His goal is to make sure that every client fully understands what they’re buying/selling, understands the current market value of the subject property, and understands the process while maximizing value and minimizing risk.

Representing Buyers

Buying a strata property isn’t just about the unit (or lot) that you are purchasing—it’s about the entire strata property, including the common property, and how it’s managed. Furthermore, all strata properties are subject to the Strata Property Act, and there are very important strata docs to review and understand prior to finalizing your purchase. However, reading through the strata docs (sometimes hundreds of pages) can be a tedious and difficult task. This is all on top of identifying the fair market value for the property, negotiating the deal, and completing all of the other steps involved in the due diligence process. Don't worry, Caleb is here to help!

Caleb will guide buyers through every aspect of the transaction and the due diligence, including:

• Undertaking a comprehensive market analysis, and specialized pricing metrics, to advise you on real value and how to structure an offer
• Negotiating favorable terms and conditions that are important for you, including price, dates, inclusions, conditions and all other terms
• Using a proprietary 3-step strategy to ensure that you understand the strata documents, including how to identify risks.
• Recommending other relevant industry experts to ensure that purchasers are taken care of every step of the way, including strata building inspectors, strata insurance agents, and strata lawyer
• Finalizing the transaction and preparing for the possession day

With so many things to juggle, you need Caleb on your side to help you navigate your purchase and fully understand the strata that you are investing in.

Representing Sellers

Selling a strata property isn't just about marketing the home; it also involves understanding the entire strata, including the common property and strata assets. For example, what if a prospective buyer is interested in the listing and inquires about the parking stall, the pet bylaws and the contingency reserve fund? You need an agent that knows how to answer these questions, and someone that inspires confidence when an interested buyer wants more information. Aside from understanding the property, Caleb will also use unique pricing metrics and a specialized strategy to advise you on the real market value for your home and how to list your property for maximum exposure.

Caleb will support sellers with all of the following:

• Review the strata docs to ensure a deep understanding of the property- both the home and the strata property that it belongs to
• Prepare and organize strata documents and marketing material for prospective buyers to ensure confidence and transparency
• Highlight strengths such as proactive strata management, strong contingency funds, and recent upgrades
• Employ a specialized approach to determine the market value of your home and advise you on a strategic list price 
• Market the property top notch photography, cinematic video, professional color brochures, 3D Virtual Tours, and color floor plans to properly showcase your home

By conducting a deep review and understanding of the property, Caleb will not only understand how to market your property in the best possible light, but he will also anticipate buyer questions and be prepared to address them upfront, creating a smoother transaction and less stress.
