What does a strong negotiator do for Sherwood Park sellers?
A strong negotiator protects your net proceeds, not just the list price. For a Sherwood Park seller that means pricing from real comparable sales, preparing the home so it shows well, keeping a buyer's conditions and deadlines tight, and countering offers with evidence. Craig handles every offer, counteroffer and condition on your behalf, from listing to possession day.
- Price: a valuation built on recent comparable sales in your neighbourhood, backed by Craig's appraisal training.
- Terms: possession date, conditions, deposit and inclusions are negotiated as carefully as price.
- Leverage: strong presentation and MLS® exposure on REALTOR.ca to bring more qualified buyers to the table.
- Follow-through: inspection and financing conditions managed so a firm deal stays firm.
How do you price a Sherwood Park home to sell?
Craig prices a Sherwood Park home by comparing it with recent sales of similar homes nearby, then adjusting for size, condition, lot and upgrades. As a Canadian Residential Appraiser, he uses the same valuation discipline appraisers use. The goal is a price that attracts buyers quickly without leaving money on the table.

Should you sell first or buy first when downsizing or upgrading?
Whether to sell first or buy first depends on your equity, your financing and how much risk you can carry. Selling first gives you a firm budget; buying first secures the next home. Craig helps you compare options such as a home-sale condition, longer possession dates or bridge financing arranged with your lender.
Downsizers often value a simple, well-timed move; upgraders usually need their sale price to fund the next purchase. Either way, Craig times the listing and negotiates possession so the two moves line up. See selling with Craig and buying with Craig.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a realtor charge to sell a home in Sherwood Park?
Real estate commission in Alberta is not set by law. It is negotiated between you and your brokerage and written into the listing agreement, along with which services are included. Craig explains his fee, his marketing plan and exactly what you get before you sign, so there are no surprises at closing.
How long does it take to sell a house in Sherwood Park?
Selling time in Sherwood Park depends on price, condition, neighbourhood and the season. Well-priced, well-prepared homes sell faster than overpriced ones in any market. Craig shows you current MLS® days on market for comparable homes in your neighbourhood during your home evaluation, so you can plan your move around real data.
Is Craig Finnman also an Edmonton realtor?
Yes. Craig Finnman is a REALTOR® serving both Edmonton and Sherwood Park, as well as Strathcona County and Fort Saskatchewan. He has worked across the Greater Edmonton Area for 19 years and helps many clients move between Edmonton and Sherwood Park when they downsize or upgrade.
What is the difference between a realtor and a real estate agent?
A real estate agent is anyone licensed to trade in real estate; in Alberta, licensing is handled by the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA). REALTOR® is a trademark that identifies licensed professionals who are members of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and follow its code of ethics. Craig is both.
