The action<\/p>\n

The owner of this two-bedroom condo was unhappy with its first listing and scrapped the process after four days. They went to another agent, Kamil Lalji, who pushed for small, but essential changes, starting with a day\u2019s worth of improvements, from fixing leaking faucets to painting over scuff marks. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt just looked like deferred maintenance more than anything,\u201d Mr. Lalji said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though it\u2019s easy to fix and repair, a lot of buyers, when they see stuff like that, they don\u2019t emotionally connect with the property where they\u2019re willing to write an offer.\u201d <\/p>\n

The asking price was also trimmed back by $30,000, giving it a price advantage over similar units also for sale within the 28-year-old building. It drew nearly 20 visitors over two weeks, and one couple penned a $413,000 deal after the open house. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy assumption was it would take 30 to 60 days to sell, but we got lucky because it was vacant and the buyers needed a vacant space with a quick possession,\u201d Mr. Lalji said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt also had two parking spots, which is pretty rare for condos.\u201d <\/p>\n

The agent\u2019s take<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very nice location in Erlton, right across the street from some townhouses backing onto the Elbow River,\u201d Mr. Lalji said. <\/p>\n

\u201cAccess to the riverway pathway system is excellent, you\u2019re not too far from a dog park, and you\u2019re also adjacent to the MNP sports centre.\u201d <\/p>\n
