THORNHILL STAKEHOLDERS’ REPORT December 2024

A Message From

Our Founders

Dear Friends and Neighbours, As the holiday season approaches, we find ourselves reflecting on the year we’ve shared together. It’s a time to pause, give thanks, and celebrate the milestones, big and small, that make our community so special. At Kirby Chan & Co., we are truly grateful for your continued trust and support—it’s because of you that we can do what we love: helping families find the perfect place to call home.

This year, the real estate market has been one of transition and opportunity. With interest rates easing and inventory stabilizing, we’ve seen new doors open for buyers and sellers alike. Whether you’re planning to make a move in the new year or simply want to know what’s next for the market, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

The holiday season is also a reminder of the importance of home—not just as a place to live, but as a space where memories are made, traditions are created, and family comes together. It’s this sentiment that inspires our work and motivates us to serve you better.

As we close out 2024, we want to thank you for being part of our journey. Your trust, feedback, and partnership mean everything to us. Here’s to a holiday season filled with joy, love, and cherished moments—and to a bright and exciting 2025 ahead!

With gratitude,

Kirby and Carrie Founders, Kirby Chan & Co. Scan the QR code and sign up for our newsletter to receive more information.

Kirby Chan & Co. SOLD Story 30 Livingstone Rd, Thornhill

🏡✨ SOLD! ✨🏡

👉 Selling real estate in the Greater Toronto Area isn't always a

walk in the park. While some may think it's as simple as putting up a "For Sale" sign and watching the offers roll in, our journey with this listing has been anything but simple!

📅 We took on this listing back in October 2023, during one of the slowest periods in the GTA real estate market.

🛑 We made the tough call to pull the listing off the market just before the holidays and regroup.

📈 Fast forward to 2024, with the market picking up steam and

buyer confidence returning thanks to the interest rate hold announcement. We relaunched the listing with a fresh strategy.

🛋️ We spruced up the home with modern furniture, updated the

photos and videography, and hit the market with renewed energy.

👀 After the relaunch, we saw a significant increase in showings compared to October. However, the offers we received still fell short of my client's expectations.

💪 Despite the challenges, we didn't throw in the towel. We

hosted open houses, followed up on all showings, and launched extensive marketing campaigns.

🌐🕒

We've made it a priority to maintain consistent communication and keep our clients updated throughout the process, especially with our clients being abroad. Despite the challenges of different time zones, we were dedicated to working during non-normal office hours to ensure effective collaboration.

📱 We stayed in close contact with all agents and navigated a tough 2-month negotiation process with the first set of buyers who put an offer on the home and remained interested.
