| Sold home type | Sales | Average listing days |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 9 | 25 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 66 |
| Attached / row / townhouse | 1 | 122 |
Nine detached, two semi-detached and one attached/row/townhouse sale are small samples. One townhouse sale at 122 listing days does not establish a typical townhouse deadline. A changing mix of sold homes can change an average.

These are Kevin’s performance statements, separate from the September 2026 Town of Shelburne results above. They are not a comparison calculated from this month’s municipal figures. Individual results vary and do not set a sale price or deadline for your home.
Support the asking position before launch
Choose relevant comparable sales and current competing homes in the correct segment, then investigate differences in condition, layout, size, features and location. A town average cannot establish the price of a specific property. Check actual search controls on the websites buyers use rather than assuming a universal $25,000 price interval.
Understand the alternatives buyers are comparing
Use these possible buyer considerations to plan the property explanation, then check actual enquiries and current alternatives. They are not measured rankings of Shelburne buyer groups.
Buyers comparing affordability and a move from the GTA
Some buyers compare Shelburne with other communities when considering budget, space and work arrangements. Verify the alternatives and actual enquiries for your property rather than assuming a fixed age, household type, budget or willingness to pay. Travel time varies with route, traffic and destination; buyers should check their own journey.
Buyers changing homes within Dufferin County
A buyer moving from Orangeville or another Dufferin community may be seeking a different layout, size, maintenance level or use of equity. A bungalow or smaller home may suit some buyers, but a neighbourhood name does not establish their preferences, financial approval or speed of decision.
Buyers seeking a town setting near the countryside
Explain the property’s actual setting, usable spaces and confirmed services. Check water, wastewater, heating, access and applicable records for this address. A Shelburne mailing address alone does not establish municipal services, property boundaries or permissions.

The 14-day pre-list preparation plan — an example
Use the two-week sequence below as a planning example. Some homes need less time; repairs, permissions, records or professional availability may require longer. Complete the agreed priorities before launch, or discuss the limits of launching earlier. The purpose is clear presentation and useful information, not a promise to remove every buyer objection.
Week 1: declutter, clean and repair
Week 2: stage, photograph and prepare the launch
Kevin’s marketing system for a Shelburne launch
Video Narrated VR Animated Online Showing
Kevin’s online showing combines a guided explanation with property media so buyers can understand room connections, features and layout before arranging a visit. It can support buyers researching from a distance. Online presentation does not verify finances, replace inspection or guarantee fewer showings or faster offers.
Digital advertising and buyer outreach
Kevin’s marketing plan can include digital advertising, social media and buyer outreach. Confirm the agreed audience, channels and service scope for this home. Use actual property enquiries and relevant alternatives rather than assuming that a particular city, age or household type will produce the highest offer.
MLS and online listing distribution
Prepare accurate listing details, appropriate photography and complete property information for the agreed MLS and online channels. Confirm the actual distribution and timing with Kevin; no universal portal list, simultaneous appearance or search-position guarantee is assumed.
Discuss the agreed use of Facebook, Instagram, buyer outreach, MLS and Realtor.ca distribution for this listing, including what is included in the fee.
How to Sell Your House for Top Dollar | Kevin Flaherty's Orangeville Marketing Plan
Kevin explains his pricing and marketing approach using an Orangeville example. Discuss the relevant services for your Shelburne property; the video is not evidence of a Shelburne sale result.
Compare the whole offer, not only its price
Compare estimated net proceeds and transaction risk
For illustration, compare an $810,000 offer with a 45-day close and an $825,000 offer with a 90-day close. Neither is automatically the better choice. Compare estimated selling costs, carrying costs, deposit, conditions, inclusions, closing date and ability to complete. Ask your lawyer and lender about the implications before deciding.
Choose an offer-review approach for the actual listing
An offer-review date does not automatically create competition or prevent losing a buyer. Compare reviewing offers as received with a disclosed delayed-presentation plan using current evidence. Kevin should explain instructions, pre-emptive offers and the risks of either approach.
Use the deadline written in each offer
Check the actual irrevocability date and time. Discuss whether to accept, reject, counter or request more time; a counteroffer can change the legal position and does not guarantee that a buyer stays engaged. Refer legal questions to your lawyer rather than treating every expired offer as a lost sale.
Assess conditions individually
Financing, inspection, appraisal, sale-of-property and any condominium-document conditions have different implications. A pre-listing inspection is optional and does not remove a buyer’s need for advice or their own inspection. Confirm the wording, deadlines and consequences with Kevin, your lawyer and the relevant professionals.
Offer-process guidance: RECO — managing delayed offer presentation and pre-emptive offers. Discuss the actual instructions and agreement with Kevin and your lawyer.
Seven mistakes that can slow a Shelburne sale
1. Pricing above the relevant evidence
An unsupported asking price can reduce interest. There is no fixed number of extra listing days or price loss that can be assigned to every overpriced home. Review comparable sales, current competition and the property’s differences.
2. Launching with incomplete or unclear photography
Prepare professional photography and accurate media that explain the home. Confirm Kevin’s service inclusions; presentation quality does not guarantee a sale or establish a measured speed advantage.
3. Making reasonable showings difficult
Agree workable access and notice during initial exposure. A declined request is not proof that an offer was lost; consider practical alternatives while protecting occupants, pets and security.
4. Assuming the best buyer must come from one place
Consider relevant local and relocating buyers. Use actual response and the marketing plan rather than claiming buyers from Brampton or Mississauga will necessarily pay more.
5. Using an assumed universal $25,000 search rule
Search controls vary by website and buyer. A buyer using an $800,000 maximum will not see an $824,900 listing merely because it is below $825,000. Check real filters and comparable evidence; a small price change does not automatically expand the buyer pool.
6. Ignoring feedback or using a fixed showing deadline
Discuss enquiries, available engagement, showing feedback and competing listings after meaningful exposure. Eight to ten showings or 14 days without an offer can prompt a review, but neither proves the cause or mandates a price change.
7. Comparing offers only by headline price
Compare estimated net proceeds, deposit, conditions, inclusions, closing date and completion risk. A higher offer or fewer conditions does not by itself establish the better decision.

Kevin's experience and marketing team sold my home over asking price in one day. The house was sold before it even went on MLS. We did not have to go through open houses or multiple viewings. The professional videos his team produces are amazing.
Brian Masulka · Google review · Dufferin County
The property was listed and sold with second viewing within two days at more than the asking price. The closing dates of this place and the new purchase matched perfectly. Kevin and his team were the epitome of skill and efficiency.

Questions Shelburne sellers ask before they act
How long does it take to sell a house in Shelburne?
TRREB reported 40 average listing days for sold Shelburne listings in September 2026, based on 12 sales. This excludes unsold listings and is not the preparation-to-possession calendar. Individual homes can take more or less time; confirm whether any condition days overlap the report’s listing period before adding them.
What price range should I use for a fast Shelburne sale?
Use relevant recent comparable sales, current alternatives and the property’s differences to establish the asking position with Kevin. The municipal average is context, not a valuation or a guarantee of sale speed.
Which improvements matter most before listing?
Begin with appropriate cleaning, decluttering, visible maintenance, lighting, curb appeal and useful property records. Investigate recurring defects and assess larger projects individually; no automatic return or objection-free result is assumed.
Does Shelburne new construction affect resale homes?
Builder inventory, incentives and nearly-new homes can affect the alternatives buyers consider. Check current terms and property differences before deciding how your resale home should be presented and priced.
Should I hold offers to create competition?
Only choose an offer-review date after discussing current evidence, your instructions and the risk of losing or receiving pre-emptive interest. It does not guarantee competition. Kevin and your lawyer can help you understand the applicable process and offer terms.
How important is online marketing in Shelburne?
Clear photography, floor plans, accurate descriptions and Video Narrated VR Animated Online Showings can help local and relocating buyers understand the home before visiting. Media does not verify financial qualification or guarantee an offer.
When should I change the price?
Review relevant competition, enquiries, available engagement, showings and repeated feedback with Kevin after meaningful exposure. A fixed number of days or showings does not by itself establish a price problem; investigate the evidence before choosing a response.
Can I sell fast and still protect my proceeds?
That is a planning objective, not a guarantee. Preparation, property-specific pricing, suitable exposure and careful comparison of estimated net proceeds, conditions and closing risk can help you assess the trade-offs.
