- Buyers will review your condo corporation's documents during their condition period. Order them early.

Presentation for condos
Condos often have less space, so declutter even more aggressively. Light, views and storage are your stars. If the building has an amenity (gym, rooftop, party room, river view), make sure it's in the photos.
Pricing against your neighbours
If three units with the same layout are for sale in your building, buyers will compare them side by side. A recent sale on a similar floor is your most important comparable.
