Selling a Condo from Overseas – A Seamless Experience for Our Deployed Military Client
Selling a home is never a small task, and doing it while deployed overseas adds an entirely different layer. We recently helped one of our military clients sell her condo on Pinhey Street while she was serving abroad, and it’s a great example of how the right systems, preparation, and experience can make distance a non-issue.
From the start, communication was key. With time zone differences and a busy deployment schedule, we handled everything through WhatsApp, keeping things simple and efficient. Offers, updates, questions, and documents were all managed in real time, allowing our client to stay fully in the loop without added stress. The entire process felt easy and seamless, even though she was thousands of miles away.
Although the condo was vacant while she was away, we brought in professional staging to present it at its best and help buyers visualize the lifestyle it offers. We also used professional photography to highlight the layout, natural light, and finishes, allowing the listing to truly stand out among other condos on the market.
While prioritizing both marketing and communication, we worked closely with Brookfield Relocations to ensure timelines, details, and expectations were aligned throughout the transaction. Through proactive coordination and strong relationships behind the scenes, we were able to prevent surprises and keep the process running smoothly.
Working with clients overseas is something our team does regularly. As a military real estate specialist, we understand deployments, relocations, tight schedules, and the need for clear, direct communication. Our job is to take as much off our clients’ plates as possible so they can focus on their service, knowing their condo sale is being handled properly.
The successful sale of the Pinhey Street condo is a great reminder that with the right team — and the right presentation — selling from anywhere in the world is absolutely possible. As a Top Ottawa Realtor, we’re proud to support those who serve and make the process as smooth and stress-free as it should be, no matter where duty calls.
