Getting Your House Ready
Preparing your house for sale can be very time consuming and stressful. After years of living in your personal space, sellers are required to start looking at their home through the eyes of a buyer. We recognize that it can be overwhelming so we have developed relationships with professionals in a variety of industries to help with the process.
We have partnered up with a designer/stager, painter, handyman, packer/organizer and a junk removal company to help us along the way. We understand that the weeks leading up to the big photoshoot day are busy and we do everything in our power to assist with the preparation. You only have one chance to make a good first impression and we take that seriously.

Professional Photography
Every buyer starts their property search online, so we cannot stress enough the importance of presentation. We are beside you every step of the way! From our initial consultation and meeting with our stager/designer, to the final stages leading up to the big photoshoot with your professional photography team. You only have one chance to make a good first impression.
Aerial Views
Every home is unique, so it is important to give all potential buyers a visual of your entire property and community. Through experience, we have found that the best way to show off your property and the grounds that surrounds it, is to incorporate aerial photography and videography in our marketing.
Professional Virtual Tour
From the sky and into your home, we take our viewers on a journey of your community and home as if they are right there walking through.
Print Marketing
Yes! We still think print marketing is important. We create lovely brochures that are 6 pages on thick card stock for every home we list. This way, all potential buyers can leave with a keepsake! Through our experience, buyers love having something tangible to show their friends and family. It also becomes a great tool when they are reflecting on their tour and discussing their options.
Floorplans
Floorplans are important when marketing a condo because they help potential buyers visualize the space and understand the layout. They highlight unique features, provide transparency, and save time by allowing buyers to assess the space when planning their move. We believe that floorplans are an asset to all listings as they make condos look more appealing and offer a higher level of professionalism to our marketing package.
House Specific Website
Barrie House Hub has a unique niche website optimized for buyers looking to buy or sell a house. Our website is a top resource with necessary housing facts, various communities, new listings and must read real life stories. Having a single hub built for the housing sector of the real estate market helps our users stay focused on their search when weighing their options and making decisions.

Over the past 25 years I have bought and sold over ten homes and have used numerous agents in numerous cities and to be honest, I have been indifferent for the most part. However, for my recent move I chose Jim to sell my house and find me and my children a new one. Simply put, I could not have made a better choice. I have always found the whole process to be stressful and its not easy to be objective when it comes to your property and your home. If you're able to find someone that you can trust and someone who truly has your best interests at heart, it makes all the difference in the world. That is what you will get when you retain Jim Wright. He knows his business better than anyone I know and he conducts himself with integrity, optimism and humour (I particularly needed the optimism). I cannot say enough about how much easier the whole process was with Jim as my agent. Because of his direction and expertise, my house sold the first weekend that it went on the market and, more importantly, Jim found our new home which I bought the day that it came on the market. I am forever in his debt as we absolutely love our new home. If and when it comes time to do it again I will be calling Jim. I cannot recommend him highly enough, I will never use anyone else again.

We have had the pleasure of working with Jim on a number of occasions, both as a listing and selling agent. He is truly a trusted and reliable professional who puts the needs of his clients first. Most recently, throughout the entire process of searching for our ideal home and purchasing a property we thought we would never find, Jim's availability, attention to detail, knowledge, patience, and extraordinary focus on client care made for an absolutely outstanding experience from beginning to end.

Jim helped my husband and I find our first home near Barrie. As first time home buyers, we knew very little about buying a house but Jim made us feel very comfortable right from the start. He took the time to explain everything we needed to know and was very patient with us as we learned. Jim was very respectful of our wishes and we never felt pressure from him to make any decision. He encouraged us not to compromise and because of that, ultimately we found our dream home! Although this was just another transaction for him, he made buying our first home feel special for us.
