Open New Doors Real Estate
Dave Maund on a call with a seller
Selling · Waterloo · Wellington · Perth · Oxford

Everything your home needs to sell.
Included.

It starts with a free Home Evaluation that Dave prepares personally. Then staging, photography, drone, a 3D tour, dual MLS exposure and a full team carry your home to market.

How it starts

Three steps, nothing to sign.

01

A ten-minute call

About 10 minutes

A few questions about your home, its location and its condition. Afterward, Dave starts your Home Evaluation.

02

Your Home Evaluation

Within two business days

Dave prepares it personally. We tour your home, compare it with recent sales, and tell you what it will sell for and what is worth doing first.

03

Your next steps

On your schedule

Projects worth doing, staging day and your MLS launch date, mapped from start to finish and started only when you are ready.

Everything above is free, with no obligation. We never ask you to sign anything until you are ready.
Your Home Evaluation

A smarter way to sell, designed around you.

The evaluation is a full report on your home, not a number on a postcard. Dave prepares it personally within two business days of your call, and walks you through every page.

    Projects worth doing, staging day and your MLS launch, on your schedule.

Where buyers look

We don't wait for your buyer. We go and find them.

Most agents wait for a buyer to find their listing. We go and find the buyer. Every community we serve has its own guide on opennewdoors.ca, more than 270 across four regions, and people planning a move read them months before they ever call an agent. When your home is listed with us, it appears on the page for your neighbourhood, right beside everything buyers want to know about living there.

Buyers find us first

People exploring a move research the community before they research listings. Our neighbourhood guides welcome them in and introduce them to homes like yours.

Every buyer answered

Home value tools and enquiry forms on every page connect visitors directly to us, and our client support team follows up with every one of them.

Your home, on your neighbourhood's page

Your home is featured on the page for your neighbourhood, on opennewdoors.ca and on the MLS® the moment it lists. Ask to see your neighbourhood's page during our meeting.

Your listing showcase

One scan opens your home.

A scan of the smart sign on your lawn opens a cinematic page built just for your home, exactly as buyers see it on their phones. They book showings, request info packs and ask questions right from the page, and our CRM responds instantly.

Reviewing a Home Evaluation with sellers
Pricing and strategy

Two ways to price. One right answer for your home.

Holding Offers

A carefully chosen low list price with a scheduled offer date, designed to bring competing offers. Competition drives the selling price higher and makes it harder for buyers to attach conditions.

The trade-off: the low list price needs a bidding war to reach the sale-price goal.

Conventional

A market-value list price, open to viewings and offers as soon as it is listed. Familiar, seen as lower risk, and aimed precisely at qualified buyers.

The trade-off: it can take longer, and buyers have more room for conditions like financing and inspection.

Which is right for your home is part of the evaluation. It depends on your property, your street and the market right now. We recommend one and explain exactly why.

Where's your home?

Every town. The same standard.

Map of the four regions we serve: the Region of Waterloo, Wellington County, Perth County and Oxford County, with the part of the County of Brant we serve shown as part of Oxford County. The six cities, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Stratford and Woodstock, are shaded inside their regions. Each region links to its page, and each city links to its page. Every region and town is listed below the map.

Region of Waterloo

Tech-city energy and Mennonite countryside, side by side. From the ION line to the St. Jacobs market, a region that never stops growing.

Wellington County

The Royal City and its storybook neighbours, with Guelph's hometown warmth, Elora's riverside magic, and green farm hills all the way north.

Perth County

Stratford's world-famous festival, historic St. Marys, and welcoming towns and villages set in some of Ontario's richest farmland.

Oxford County

Woodstock's Victorian downtown, Ingersoll's cheese-making history, Tillsonburg's Broadway and Paris on the Grand River, surrounded by beautiful farmland and close to the 401 and 403.

We can also help with

The complicated ones. We've got this.

  • Upgrading

    Moving up means selling and buying at once. We map both paths, sell first and buy first, with real numbers before you decide.

  • Downsizing

    A home of twenty or thirty years holds a lot. We treat that with care and take the heavy lifting off your plate: decluttering and pack-up help, trades on short notice, and a plan on your schedule.

  • Family law and divorce sales

    Coordinating former partners, lawyers and lenders so the sale goes smoothly.

  • Estates and executor situations

    Written opinions of value and steady guidance through complex, stressful files.

Straight answers

Seller questions, answered honestly.

What does it cost to sell with you?+

Competitive commission rates that include the entire package on this page: staging, photography, marketing and negotiation. We show you exactly how it affects your bottom line, in plain numbers, before you commit to anything.

Should I sell before I buy?+

It depends on your equity, your comfort with risk, and the balance of the market right now. In the evaluation we map both paths, sell first and buy first, with real numbers, so the decision becomes clear rather than stressful.

Is now a good time to sell in our area?+

Certain times of year are better depending on the type of home you are selling, and the right answer for a detached family home differs from a condo. We show you the seasonal pattern for your home type rather than a generic answer.

What if my home needs work first?+

Part of every evaluation is a short list of updates that return money, and the ones to skip. We have cleaning, renovation and repair trades available on short notice, and staging is included, so most homes need less work than their owners fear.

How long will it take to sell?+

It depends on the pricing strategy, the home type and the season. With a Holding Offers launch the timeline is set by the offer date. With a Conventional listing it is more open-ended. The honest answer depends on your home, which is what the first call is for.

Start with the value.

The first step is a free Home Evaluation and a ten-minute call. No fees, no obligation, no pressure.
