Buying or selling a home has a hundred small moving parts, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s next — especially when life is already busy. These checklists were created from real Greater Victoria transactions, with buyers and sellers in mind, to turn that overwhelm into clear, do-able steps.
Whether you’re getting a home ready to sell — declutter, clean, stage, gather documents — or preparing to buy — viewings, financing, subject removal, closing — there’s a checklist here to keep you a step ahead so nothing important slips through the cracks.
After years of guiding buyers and sellers across Greater Victoria, one thing stood out: the people who felt calmest — and got the best results — weren’t always the most experienced. They were the most organized. So I turned the steps I walk my own clients through into simple, printable checklists, and made them free for anyone — whether we ever work together or not.
Why give them away? Because a well-prepared buyer or seller makes better decisions, avoids expensive surprises, and moves through the whole process with far less stress. Helpful information shouldn’t be locked behind a contract — if these save you a headache or a dollar, they’ve done their job.
Being organized also helps us work better together. When you already know what’s coming — the documents to gather, the questions to ask, the deadlines that matter — we can spend our time on strategy and negotiation instead of chasing paperwork. It turns a stressful transaction into a genuine partnership, with both of us on the same page from day one.
A quick tip: start one folder — paper or digital — for everything about your move: these checklists, your key documents, quotes, and notes. Bring it to our first conversation and you’ll be surprised how much smoother and faster everything feels from there.
Tick the checklists you’d like, then add your details. Fields marked * are required.

Buying or selling a home has a hundred moving parts, and the details are where deals get stressful — or smooth. A good checklist turns “what am I forgetting?” into “done, done, done.” These are the same practical, Greater-Victoria-specific lists I share with my own clients — free for you to use, whether we work together or not.
Wherever you are in your move, tap a card to dig deeper: guides for sellers and buyers, a live home search, neighbourhoods to explore, market updates, and more.

Buying, selling, or just planning ahead — these checklists are yours, no strings attached. And when you’re ready for more than a PDF, I’m here with honest, local guidance and no pressure. No question is too small.
