 | | ABOUT ME |  | Joan Bragg, Realtor & Home Staging Professional with Re/Max East Coast Realty Ltd. (formerly Re/Max Suburban). A great house, great staging & a great price will always be a win-win combination that gets homes sold. I'm available to my clients 24/7. Whether it's on the phone, e-mail or in person. I value the space where people choose to live their lives and spend their time. Helping clients purchase the perfect home gives me great satisfaction.
I have been a Realtor with RE/MAX for 5 years and a member of The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), The Newfoundland & Labrador Association of Realtors (NLAR) and a former member of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). All of these associations uphold a strict code of ethics. I am also an Accredited Home Stager and have been staging homes since April 2005.
I am a Realtor with an ASP designation. An ASP is an Accredited Staging Professional and has been trained and certified through StagedHomes.com, the industry leader in Staging Education and Training. The ASP Course is developed by Barb Schwarz, The Creator of Home Staging.
I was born on Bell Island sometime ago; my parents, Fitzgeralds from Bell Island, moved away due to shortage of work and took their (my) family away seeking prosperity and good health. I have lived in Kitchener, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta. While acquiring my real estate license for selling resale properties, I was involved in selling new home construction 2001-2006 and began selling resale properties in 2004. I have been a Realtor with Re/Max for 5 years.
Success Strategy and Business Philosophy:
I always make my clients feel at ease when talking about their real estate needs and limitations. I believe that by establishing an open line of communication it allows for both myself and my clients to feel comfortable discussing what we expect from each other throughout this process. These discussions are always beneficial and lead to a successful conclusion of their experience with selling or buying real estate.
I’m an adviser, not just an agent, especially when listing homes for sale. I provide a report showing the most recent sales in my seller’s area and together we review the current market conditions to establish a list price. I also prepare my clients with advice regarding the views and opinions a buyer might have after viewing their home. My home staging experience comes in handy when it comes time to showcase the most attractive features and benefits of a seller's home. I always like to leave the buyers with a good first impression. I truly enjoy this aspect of selling real estate.
When acting as a Buyer Agent, I find my clients value my opinion, as I'll share all the pros and cons. If ever I say "This is the perfect house for you," my clients know that I mean it because they've heard me say before, "Don't buy this house, it's not the right fit for you – lets keep looking”. I will always tell my buyers “always buy real estate with resale value in mind”, and with that in mind, prior to their purchase, I will make them aware of other like homes that have sold in the area.
In the end, my clients know that the purchase or sale of a home is their decision and theirs alone. I know that my role is to advise, provide up-to-date information regarding sales in their area, guide and negotiate.
Transaction – From Start to Finish
I will work with my clients honestly and sincerely, and with due diligence to ensure complete satisfaction from start to finish. I assist my clients with home staging, house inspections, information regarding schools and bussing, lawyers etc… At their request, I can direct them to a mortgage broker who will provide mortgage options and obtain financing at the most attractive, prevailing rates and terms. My goal is to ensure that my client’s important life decision is realized. I look our for their best interest and ensure that they get fair representation.
Joan McKibben-Bragg. I carry on business under the name of Joan Bragg with Re/Max East Coast Realty Ltd. (formerly Re/Max Suburban).
