How to sell your home in a week

The Story of 22 Celia Crescent, Guelph 📍

When a home sells in just one week, it often gets attention. People might assume it was a lucky break or perfect timing—but there’s so much more to the story. A quick sale like this is never just about chance. It’s the result of careful planning, a clear strategy, and strong collaboration between agent and clients.

The story of 22 Celia actually began more than two years ago, when my clients first brought up the idea of “maybe selling one day.” From that initial conversation, they stayed open, thoughtful, and proactive—always keeping the long game in mind. We didn’t rush. Instead, we took a step-by-step approach that gave them time to prepare the right way.

They started by decluttering and simplifying their home, chipping away at the to-do list slowly but surely. When I made suggestions about small changes that could make a big impact, they didn’t just listen—they took action. They tackled painting, chose warm neutral tones to replace bold colours, updated the front door, swapped out light fixtures, and changed hardware throughout the home. These were not major renovations, but the overall effect was huge. Their commitment to doing things right made all the difference.

As we got closer to listing, I brought in my trusted stager to help take things to the next level. She offered a fresh perspective on layout and flow, reworking each space to show it at its very best. Staging is such a powerful part of the process—it helps buyers connect emotionally and see the full potential of the home.

With the home fully staged and ready to shine, it was time to bring in the rest of the team. My photographer captured the space beautifully, including detailed floor plans and a virtual walkthrough with IGUIDE. Then, my videographer created a lifestyle video that brought the home and neighbourhood to life, highlighting everything that makes this property such a gem. It’s not just about showing a home—it’s about telling the right story.

Throughout the process, I kept a close eye on the market, ensuring we landed on a list price that would position us for success. Timing, data, and strategy all played a role here—especially in those first critical weeks on the market.

At the end of the day, this was not a rushed or lucky sale. It was the result of thoughtful planning, strong communication, and incredible clients who put in the work. I feel truly grateful to have partnered with such dedicated homeowners who trusted the process every step of the way.

If you’re thinking about selling—whether it’s this season or sometime down the road—I’d love to chat. No pressure, just a conversation about your goals and how I can help you get there when the time is right.

Let’s make your move a successful one—together.
