How a Real Estate Agent Helps

Real estate transactions can be intimidating, complex, and stressful. For many of us, these are the highest-value deals we will ever make – and that can be a daunting proposition. The job of the real estate agent is to make it as easy for you as possible. Whether you are buying or selling, you need your real estate agent to work diligently behind the scenes to make your deal happen – and find you the right price for your property, or the right property for your price.

A good real estate agent takes the time to get to know you and your goals. Then, we go out and do the legwork: we research the market, find what you are looking for, and represent you as if you were there yourself.

For that role to be effective, you need to know that you can trust your agent completely and that they will represent you truthfully and with integrity. At The Leathwood Group, we want you to be able to believe in us implicitly – and while we know that can take time, here are some facts about us that will help you along the way:

  • We have over thirty years of experience specifically in the Winnipeg real estate marketplace between us
  • We have successfully closed over $150,000,000 in transactions.
  • We are licensed, accredited, and insured.
  • We have won awards from the Winnipeg Regional Real Estate Board
  • We have set sales records for many of the neighbourhoods we work in.
  • ‘Our Mission’ is not just industry buzzwords: it is a promise to ourselves and to you to always conduct ourselves in a professional, client-focused way
  • We love Winnipeg. We live here, we work here, we play here

When it comes time to sell your property, you usually have two priorities: the most amount of money, in the shortest time frame. Our team will help you achieve both of those goals.

At the initial meeting, we will provide you with an up-to-date analysis of the market, including properties similar in size and style to yours, in comparable locations. This is an opportunity for us to set realistic expectations for what you should be listing your property for, and let you know how fast the market is moving.

Next, we will list your property, ensuring that it has the highest possible level of exposure for appropriate buyers. We will take care of everything throughout the process of selling your home: preparing the property for viewings, showing prospective buyers around, and answering any and all questions. Negotiations are handled by our team of experts, who guarantee to keep you informed of offers and counter-offers and work to get you the maximum price possible

What we do:

  • Provide tailored advice on pricing strategies and market trends to optimize your property's value.
  • Strategically manage all marketing efforts to maximize exposure and reach for your property.
  • Skillfully negotiate offers on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.
  • Coordinate with all relevant parties, including appraisers, inspectors, finance companies, and law firms, to streamline the selling process.
  • Ensure you promptly receive the proceeds from the sale.

When you buy real estate, it is about finding the right property, at the right price, in the right time frame.

We will meet with you to discuss what you want and need, and give you an accurate expectation of what you can hope to get, in which locations, for your price range.

Then, we get out on the road. Our team will narrow the property market down to a select number of properties that fit your criteria, and we will review them firsthand to ensure that your needs are met. When we are happy, we will arrange for you to view the homes yourself, walking you through the property and answering any questions that arise.

When we’ve discovered your ideal property, we step in to negotiate and secure the best possible outcome. When terms are agreed upon, we collaborate closely with your legal representation to ensure a smooth transition of ownership into your hands.

What we do:

  • Provide comprehensive insights into neighbourhoods, school districts, demographics, and various influencing factors.
  • Assist in making informed comparisons between properties ensuring you can objectively evaluate your options.
  • Offer transparent and clear explanations of financing and mortgage options, guiding you through the process.
  • Provide ongoing support and guidance, even after the transaction is complete.
