let's find your new home

Buying a home is undoubtedly one of the biggest financial investments an individual and/or family can make. With this in mind, it is essential to work with a Realtor® as they will physically be able to “open the door” to your dream home, mitigate any potential blindspots, assist you in writing a strong offer, guide you through negotiations, and successfully lead you in closing the deal on time for possession.

Selling Your Home - Why it Pays to Use a REALTOR®

Before selling your home, you will need a clear understanding of the legal issues and potential pitfalls. One wrong action could result in a lot of cost and frustration, which is why it is essential to have a REALTOR® working with you, as he or she will make the sale of your home a successful and satisfying experience.

REALTORS® use the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) to give your home maximum exposure. MLS® is a computer-based system that relays valuable information about your home to hundreds of REALTORS® and potential homebuyers.

Setting a price for your home is an important but difficult process. Again, this is where the services of a REALTOR® prove invaluable. REALTORS® have the experience to help you understand how the market works and decide upon a realistic price that meets your goals. REALTORS® also pre-screen potential buyers to make sure only those who are serious and financially qualified view your home.

REALTORS® will also develop a marketing plan to help your property receive maximum exposure. This will likely include placing your home on the MLS® system and placing a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn. The plan will likely also include arranging open houses for other REALTORS® and potential buyers, and developing advertisements and feature sheets/mailers to market your home.

Once you have accepted an offer to buy your home, your REALTOR® will help ensure that all the proper paperwork is completed. He or she will also make sure that both parties meet the necessary conditions outlined in the agreement.

When you work with a REALTOR® you will likely get a better price for your home than if you try to sell it yourself. Apart from the financial benefits, however, there is an extra measure of comfort and security that comes from having a REALTOR® on your side. Remember that REALTORS® are governed by a code of ethics and standards of business practice. They have also been trained and licensed under the provincial Real Estate Services Act to assist in transactions involving real property. When it comes to buying or selling property, using a REALTOR® just makes sense.

Hi there, I'm Kait Melvin, a real estate professional and proud owner of 2% Realty Sunshine Coast and 2% Realty Midnight Sun. My journey is all about turning dreams into reality, one home at a time.

Originally from the Whitehorse Yukon, my partner and I sought a change – a place where our kids could thrive outdoors. This quest led us to Powell River, a place we now proudly call home.

Before diving into the dynamic world of real estate, I spent a fulfilling 12 years working for the federal government at the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC), wearing various hats and eventually leaving as a supervisor. The transition from a government career to real estate reflects my adventurous spirit and eagerness to embrace new challenges.

As a real estate agent, I find immense joy in the entrepreneurial spirit that comes with helping individuals and families discover their dream homes. For me, being on the frontline of this transformative process is not just a job – it's a passion.

My approach to real estate is rooted in core values that guide my every interaction. Whether it's building value-driven connections, upholding integrity, or empowering clients in their home buying or selling journey, these values shape the foundation of my work.

However, my story goes beyond the professional realm. I'm a family-oriented individual who cherishes watching my two boys grow up. Creating a nurturing environment for them is as important to me as finding the perfect home for my clients. I believe a home is more than just a property; it's where memories are made and dreams are lived.

Join me on this journey of turning aspirations into addresses. Let's explore the story behind the Realtor, as we navigate the world of real estate together.
