In mid 2022 after completing our search for a suitable home in British Columbia where we could be closer to family, we started in earnest to prepare for the sale of our home.
We interviewed several REALTORS® who had been recommended to us. Angela Baas was the one who seemed to understand our situation and the difficulties of leaving a home and neighbourhood where we had spent the past 40 years. Her market analysis of similar homes for sale in our area was very thorough and her experience showed when she talked about the similarities and differences, especially from a buyer's point of view. She helped us focus on the most important areas to declutter and we were happily surprised that the staging actually enhanced the character of our home without making it look overly neutral.
Angela was there to support us, as she realized we were not as "tech savvy" as today's marketplace demands. She often came to the house in person, which was most appreciated, even though it took more of her time. Angela was very thorough and very promptly answered every email we sent her, no matter the time of day.
The housing market was changing rapidly from what it had been just a few months earlier. Her experience with these fluctuations enabled her to give us the perspective we needed to focus on the "big picture". She helped us to stay positive and taught us to be patient.
A couple of times during the summer when Angela was on holidays, she left us in the very capable hands of one of her colleagues, who communicated regularly with Angela about everything that was happening. There was never any doubt that we were "all on the same page".
Although the timing of taking possession of our new home in BC and the closing date of the sale of our Ontario home didn't quite coincide, she helped us arrange financing to bridge the short gap of about 6 weeks.
Looking at the big picture, everything worked out remarkably well. Angela played a significant role in making that happen. We would be happy to recommend Angela to anyone you is looking to sell their home.If you are looking for an extremely competent REALTOR®, who will make sure you understand every step of the process, Angela Baas is the person you are looking for.
