SELLER FAQ's

WHY SHOULD I HIRE AN AREA EXPERT TO SELL MY HOME?

When you hire a specialist to market & sell your home, here are just a few advantages:

Marketing Power - in addition to the marketing tools that all REALTORS® use (Realtor.ca, company website, signs, open houses, etc), an area expert has unique tools designed to market properties in their area of specialty to area residents and buyers looking for homes in that area.  Some of Grant Wiebe's unique marketing tools include
RutlandHomes.ca, Rutlanders.ca (community website), and various area mailouts and marketing initiatives.

Network - because an area expert invests more time building contacts and relationships in their area of specialty, an area expert has the strongest local network of contacts to expose your property to, resulting in a quicker sale.  In the Rutland area, Grant Wiebe strives to be the "go-to-REALTOR®" and that means people often contact him looking for that specific area property - this will benefit you as a seller.   

Expertise - if you're looking for the REALTOR® with the most comprehensive and current knowledge of your area, choose an area expert. Grant is passionate about knowing the market inside and out in the Rutland area so that he can give you the best advice and price your home right.

Passion - because an area expert is passionate about their area of expertise, they don't divert buyers to other areas simply because they don't like them or because they're not familiar with them.  Grant is a a proud Rutland resident and he's fanatical about his community and all the great things about it.

DO YOU ADVERTISE YOUR LISTINGS IN THE NEWSPAPER?
Except for very rare occasions, the answer is "no".  With over 90% of home buyers searching for their home on the internet, Grant Wiebe has chosen to invest his time and money in marketing his listings to more than 90% of home buyers, rather than to less than 10% of them.  He does this by investing in things like: RutlandHomes.ca, professional listing photography, social media marketing (youtube, facebook, twitter, etc), Google Adwords, and other online advertising (craigslist, castanet, kijiji, openhousekelowna, etc).  These days, the newspaper is the easiest way for REALTORS to expose their listings to the fewest real buyers while still giving their clients the impression that their home is being advertised (please understand, this is Grant's personal opinion).

I HAVE MY HOME LISTED WITH ANOTHER REALTOR®; CAN I ADVERTISE IT ON RUTLANDHOMES.CA?
Because there are a number of factors involved, the best answer we can give to that questions is "probably".  Have your REALTOR® contact us and we can see if we can make that happen.

DO YOU WORK IN AREAS OTHER THAN THE RUTLAND AREA?
Yes. Grant Wiebe was born and raised in Kelowna and he's been a licensed REALTOR® since 2002.  In his career Ihe has helped clients in hundreds of successful real estate transactions throughout Kelowna and the surrounding area.  Although he is an expert in the Rutland area, he currently helps many clients in all parts of the Kelowna area.

Seller Testimonials

"My husband and I were first time sellers in a shaky market, and weren't really sure about the process of getting our condo sold. After trying a discount realtor and being sorely disappointed with their lack of interest in selling our property we decided to use Century 21. Grant Wiebe was extremely professional from our first meeting. He discussed our needs as clients and worked within that frame to successfully sell our property. Grant was very helpful from start to finish and kept us updated on the market and where our property fell within the market. Grant's determination and enthusiasm is what sold our property in stagnant market and also what sets him apart from other realtors. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Okanagan." - Devon and Danielle

"Grant was always honest and fair when helping my wife and I sell our home (and previously our condominium). We felt that he gave us an accurate assessment of our properties, and when an interested buyer requested to view our home, Grant went out of his way to ensure that they were able to. Grant took good care of us and ensured that the process was smooth and easy. We appreciated Grant and the staff at Century 21, and would use them again to sell our home!"   -Jeremy & Laurisse

"Grant came highly recommended to us and certainly lived up to that recommendation . He was very knowledgeable and highly professional in all his dealings with us. He approached our situation with wisdom and compassion and was always willing to go the extra mile to run an errand or source information that we were unable to because of busy schedules and dealing with an ailing parent . He was always prompt and kept his word . He was a real pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend Grant Wiebe to any one."  Keith & Laurie Anne
