How I Helped First-Time Sellers Relocate Overseas With a Firm Sale in 24 Hours
Summary
A young couple preparing for an international relocation needed to sell their Ottawa home quickly, with minimal uncertainty. As first-time sellers, they were anxious about the process, especially scheduling showings around work and dealing with the unpredictability of conditional offers. After years of staying in touch and building trust, they turned to Nicholas Crouch to guide them through the process.
Despite some initial hesitation around pricing, Nicholas developed a tailored plan to create urgency and drive multiple offers. He launched the listing with a professional media package, proactive agent outreach, and a pre-listing home inspection. In just 24 hours, the property received four offers. The sellers chose a firm offer slightly over asking—turning down a higher conditional offer—and sold with confidence and clarity, enabling them to begin their next chapter overseas.
The Challenge
The clients were relocating to Europe and wanted to sell their Ottawa home fast, ideally without any conditions. But as first-time sellers, they were deeply anxious about showings, illness risk, and coordinating logistics around their full-time jobs.
Their biggest concern was uncertainty—having buyers back out or face delays would seriously disrupt their international move. Nicholas also had to navigate early disagreements around pricing, balancing client expectations with market realities.
The Solution
Nicholas knew the key to success was minimizing chaos and maximizing certainty. He suggested the sellers temporarily move to a hotel or Airbnb to allow uninterrupted showings without disrupting their work. To create urgency, he advised pricing slightly below the optimistic range and set a 24-hour irrevocable on all offers. He proactively contacted buyer agents and sent out the home inspection in advance to reduce buyer hesitation and encourage firm offers.
The Solution
Within 24 hours of launch, the listing generated 22 showings and four offers. One offer came in $25,000 over asking but with conditions. Another was firm, just $1,000 above list. With Nicholas’ guidance, the sellers chose the firm offer to guarantee a clean deal with no risk of fallout—a priority given their relocation timeline. The pre-listing inspection, media package, and clear showing access were key in building buyer confidence.
