So please introduce yourself. Tell us a bit more about what you do and what, what brought you here.
Sarah Scott 3:04
Sure, absolutely. So my name is Sarah Scott. And I am a realtor here in Calgary with the Alberta rd real estate team, that real broker. What I have done actually is I have focused a lot of my attention on people that are needing to sell their home and their real estate while they're going through a separation or divorce. And through that I have found sort of a there's a bit of a need for a collaboration of professionals to help the client so what that means is I've basically started a second part of my business called the listing concierge, which is built up of myself and people that are other professionals such as family lawyers, divorce lawyers, inspectors, just your basic trades as well. And my job in that is to help coordinate all of those services together to help the client manage their situation better so that they're able to transition into their new situation without the added stress of trying to find like a painter or a psychologist or and having to do all the research around all of that. And just it's it's literally a service to make your life easier so that you can move on. Stress Free basically is what it is. Yeah.
Deena Kordt 4:51
That's incredible. So you don't just have a referral list of people that you feel confident referring people to to use or at least contact as far as whether they need their house painted or an inspection done, or they maybe are talking to you first before they've even talked to a lawyer. And they're thinking, you know, what do I do about selling a house. And by the way, you know, I haven't really even decided I want to meet at your lawyer. So not only do you have a URL list, but you help coordinate the whole process of working through what needs to be done, like, I mean, though, there's a paint, there's painting that needs to be done, or there's a leak in the bathroom or whatever it might be, and you will help coordinate that work with the trades person. That yes,
Sarah Scott 5:41
that's exactly that's exactly what the service provides. You know, I, myself have gone through divorce. And so I had a great realtor. And it was, I wouldn't say like, it was, you know, I mean, there's no divorce, it's amicable, right? Like, even though it's, it can be a little bit of a less, more moderate conflict. It's still tumultuous and chaotic. And so, you know, I had a great realtor, he had, like you said, you know, referrals, and he had people and he's like, oh, you should call a painter, you know, oh, you should call this person. This needs to get done. And I found myself sitting there, I'm there with my two year old, and my broken marriage and my broken emotions. And I'm like, Okay, I guess I'll find a painter now. Like, where do I find that? You know, and, you know, so all of a sudden, I'm like bogged down with all these like little details of like, how am I going to make my house look as great as it can, so that I can get the most money because like, that's the biggest problem I have right now is like, I have no money. And in order to get the money, I have to spend the money, right. So. So you know, just having that little piece, if that had been taken care of, for me, where my realtor had said to me, don't worry about it, Sarah, you know what, I got a guy. And I'll even call him for you. Because like, I know, you're like, you're off in your own world right now. So don't worry, like, I get it. And that is exactly what the service offers, right? Like, I'm here, I'm not, you know, I'm not going to save the day, but I'm going to make it easier for you, moving and divorce are two of the biggest of life stressors. And when you're doing those two things together, you don't have a whole lot of space inside your brain and inside your heart, to have the energy to go out and actually try and put forth that energy to do those things. Right. And to do it well. Well, so if you have like, so that that's where the gap was for me. And that's where I saw an opportunity to help my clients better. And the really great thing about what I what I'm doing, and what I'm so proud of about all of this, too, is that I feel like, it's, it's such a community, you know, the people that I am working with, are very vetted, and they are trusted people, because I've either use them in my personal life, or I've been using them in my real estate career for many, many years. And I trust them 100% They know what I'm doing. We're in this together, like we really are, like, they know exactly what the story is here. And they know who they're serving, they know who the clients are. Right. And they're super excited. And their their philosophies roll in line with mine, which is just, you know, helping the client. And so the way I envisioned it in my mind is I've got the clients, you know, the the couple there in the center, and then there's a group of people all around them, and they're just okay, what do you need? What do you need, we're gonna help you, right? They're just taken care of, and it's a real community atmosphere. And so not only am I helping my, my real estate clients sell their home for like, literally, hopefully the best dollar that they can get, but doing it with care, and with a community of like minded people.
Deena Kordt 9:25
It's a great visual. Yeah, it's it feels
Unknown Speaker 9:27
really good.
Deena Kordt 9:33
Now, when it comes to the legal team that you have, as part of that group, how do you coordinate that view also helped facilitate a connection there? And maybe an introduction or something of that sort?
Sarah Scott 9:47
Yes, absolutely. Um, you know, what I have found is that some of the clients some of my clients actually had come to me and one of the first things I asked Um, is like Who else knows? Right? And it's usually the hairdresser. If it's, you know, if it's if it's, you know, the wife that's calling me, it's usually the hairdresser. And if it's the husband that's calling me, it's usually no one. Or my or my, my, you know, my financial planner might know, right? I'm usually the first person to find out. And I think the reason for that is because the house is the biggest physical entity that represents the marriage, and represents the home and represents the family and represents a, it's it's a physical reminder of the financial, natural, yes, stuff that we have tied together as well. And so I find that a lot of my clients, the first thing they do is they say, Well, you're the first person that knows because we feel like we have to sell the house. And I'm like, Okay, well, do you have a Do you have a lawyer? Like, have you guys spoken to anyone yet? Do you have a Separation Agreement put in place? You know, these are the types of questions that are so important. And it's an, you know, I know, I feel like I'm kind of going all over the place here. But you know, who you work with in these situations really does matter. And having a realtor that understands divorce, sales is very important. Having them know the people in the, you know, in the in the law in the legal community that you can say, here, you know, I have a trusted family lawyer, that can help you work through this stuff with the children, if there are any, if you just have to split assets, maybe you don't need lawyers, maybe you need a mediator, right, maybe that's a cleaner way of doing this for you, depending on what your financial situation is, how amicable you are, you know, like, there's a myriad of things to look at who's on title. Right? Like, I've had people, you know, I had one client just call me and say, oh, you know, we have to get a, we have to sell the house. She lives in the US. I'm here. We've been separated for a really long time. And I'm saying, Okay, do you have a Separation Agreement? Yes, they do. And then I pull title, and only he's on the title. So that means that there's a dower consent that needs to be signed, right? And so we have to get that coordinated. Can that happen? Through a mediator or a notary, where she is in the United States, like there's all these like, little things that you know, that that a really good realtor, working through divorce with people can help catch and then I can guide them to the right people in the legal community, that they're going to need to talk to like the dower consent, that would just require a real estate attorney, you don't need to hire a family lawyer for that. In fact, you don't even really need an attorney, you need to know to Republic right, you need someone that can just, you know, stamp it. Right.
Deena Kordt 13:24
I want to ask you more about the dour. I do want to mention that I experienced that. The realtor I believe was probably one of the very first people next to a close friend that that knew that my marriage was done. And I remember listing the house and saying but don't put a sign up yet until you know, like one of our kids lived in the same city. I don't want to drive up and see that the house is for sale and and that whole conversation has to be had and it was right before Christmas. So you know, let's just put it on the market but no sign on the lawn type of thing. And you're right, the realtor is one of the first people that that hears about this and finds that out. Tell us more about this dower consent and what what that is
Sarah Scott 14:22
okay, so So there are in the legal community there is what's called dower rights. And our rights were put into place eons ago, basically to protect the it was it was built around kind of the person not working in the home. So typically it was the woman so that the husband if there was a split, which was very rare way back in in, you know, early early days and I don't want to you know, give you give you dates because I'm terrible with them and I don't know when this all started a long, long time ago. It was to protect her from her husband selling the house from under her and leaving her homeless basically. So that was that was where dower came into play. And basically what it means is now it protects the person that is not registered on title. And it protects their interest in the home and it protects them from their spouse spontaneously selling the house from under them. So you have those are your dower rights. There's a little bit more to it than that. But that's like a general idea of what it means. And like in the case of real estate, right, and then there's dower consent. So dower consent is when you sign over your rights one time, it's just one time. Okay. There's there's all kinds of dour papers and stuff that you can sign if you want to sign it off, all the way you can sign away all of your rights all at once. You do have that option to do that. But most people don't. So when there's dower consent, you sign your rights away once and it's usually when you're selling the house or you just don't want anything else to do with it, whatever the case may be. But that is what it means. So if you are joint custody on the title, which means both your names are on title, you both have equal, you know you both have equal share in the house. So no dower would be necessary. If just your husband is on or just your wife is on and you really have no legal claim to the property, the dower rights will protect you from that happening. And you will say yes to a dower consent. If you agree to sell the property. If you don't agree to sell the property, your spouse cannot put the house up for sale without your consent. It's just that simple.
Deena Kordt 17:03
Now, when you find that consent, do you now lose any equity that you could have gained from the sale of that house? No.
Sarah Scott 17:14
No, and that, you know that that turns into a you know, what happens there is that that's when the separation agreement becomes a very important piece. Right? So you would have to go back to your, you know, your real estate or sorry, your, you know, your divorce lawyer or your mediator, you know, and you'd really have to go back and read through that separation agreement. Again, like honestly, separation agreement is very, very important. Dower is very, very important. These are, these are very important things that if not done properly, can leave you stranded. So it's so important to if you do speak with me first. And I find that you don't have any of that stuff put in place. I will immediately send you to see a lawyer or a mediator depending on what your emotional situation is with your spouse. How many children if there are any involved? You know, because these are these can get very complicated when it comes to that kind of thing. And I would never give legal advice on any of that stuff. I'm not a lawyer. So those are all things that you would definitely want to talk to a professional lawyer or mediator about for sure.
Deena Kordt 18:43
Do you know what the order like the proper order to protect yourself? Would you need that separation agreement before you sign the dower consent?
Sarah Scott 18:55
Yes, yes, absolutely. Like you can't sign. You cannot sign a contract with a realtor. Without having like I personally won't won't sign any listing contract without having that stuff put in place. So first things first, if you come to me first, and none of that stuff is set up. I'm going to help guide you to the right direction so that you can get like this is a play by play like you really need to you can't you can't skip. You know, you can't skip any steps on this. I don't think I mean, people do. And I've seen it. I know I know I actually had a client This is so I feel so bad for her but I had a client two years ago. She's she's kind of like, oh, just I feel bad for her she's so she didn't have a Separation Agreement put in place and she refused to listen completely refused to listen. And didn't, you know, didn't get the separation agreement. didn't get any of like she spoke to lawyers. But her situation was she just she couldn't hear, right. Like she just didn't want to listen. And so she went ahead and did what she wanted to do, which was purchase a property before she had a Separation Agreement put in place. Okay.
Deena Kordt 20:29
So I can see where this is going. Yeah, it's ugly,
Sarah Scott 20:33
right? So now he's not, he's, he's not a great guy. Right. So now he, she sort of had thought she'll, she'll solidify this, she's got renters in there, she's going to try and make a little bit of income, you know, get her feet on the ground. But she was, you know, she didn't stick with the script. Now, he's going after her for half of that as an asset. Right? As well as half the rent, as
Deena Kordt 21:05
Yes, because he'd have no rights.
Sarah Scott 21:07
Yes. Well, no, he doesn't have dower rights on the property. But she didn't get a Separation Agreement and didn't make it clear that this was an asset that isn't to be touched. Right. Right. So now he, he's got hands all over it, because he bought she bought it inside the marriage. So it's his right, it's an it's it would be that would be considered an asset, her asset. So when they go to divide the assets, that's one of her assets. Thanks. Right. So these are all like, and I'm not meaning to scare anyone. These are like, this is why it's so very important to if you do come to a realtor first, like, it's so important to have somebody that deals with, you know, it's not the same, you can't just say yay, okay, let's sell your house and go shopping, like there's many steps. And I really, really value my clients, and I want to make sure that they are protected and taken care of. And it doesn't matter to me. You know, I want to work with both. And I want to make sure everybody involved, leaves the situation is at least at peace, right? Maybe not happy but at peace.
Deena Kordt 22:27
Well, and the paperwork is a pain, but it's, that's what's going to protect them. That's what's so important. Yeah.
Sarah Scott 22:33
Yeah. So having the right people working with you is very important. So that's why that's why I say, you know, first question, are you working with a lawyer or a mediator? Does your husband know you're calling me? Does your wife know you're calling me? Who's on title? And actually, I don't really ask that question. I can just pull title and find out myself, because I've also had people try and fit their way out of that one as well. And I'm like, Well, you know, I can you know, that public record, right? I can just go.
Deena Kordt 23:09
Well, and just the headspace that people are in to just, I just want it over with I just want it done like this, just shortcuts, whatever. And know that isn't necessarily in their best interest.
Sarah Scott 23:20
No. and the like, honestly, the easier softer way, is just going through it just getting through it. And so, you know, with the listing concierge, you know, I have divorce coaches, right, I have psychologists, wow, really, really, really focused on taking care of all aspects of the human condition. In this. People are scared about finances, people's hearts are broken. people's heads are like, in crazy spaces. There's children. So like, there's reality that needs to be taken care of. There's, you know, and you're living in all of these spaces, and it's hard to find time to put yourself in one at a time. Right? And that's why everything feels so chaotic all the time. Because you're, you're just like, I just, I just need five minutes to be quiet. Right? And if this is like a piece where it's like, okay, my realtor has just figured out that the painter is coming on Tuesday. I'm going to meet a new divorce coach tomorrow. Oh, thank goodness for that. Oh, yay. I have you know, time to go pick up the kids after school today because she's meeting the plumber at the house today. Like, you know, just knowing that that stuff has like taking care of is it's it's life changing.
Deena Kordt 24:47
Not to mention you meeting the plumber at the house means that you don't risk running into their, your ex
Sarah Scott 24:55
or they don't want to go back there. No, yes.
Deena Kordt 24:58
That is I think this is a Good spot for you to share your story and why, why you're doing what you're doing why you've chosen to serve this portion of client have clients that need your service.
Sarah Scott 25:13
Yes, I'm happy to do that. I was married. I think I think when did we actually finally got divorced in 2020, I think is when finalized. Anyway, so we were divorced or sorry, we were married for not very long. But we you know, we had we had the nice house, we had, you know, the house and Altidore, we had the new baby, we had everything going for us. And, you know, it just, it just wasn't working. We were not happy. He wasn't happy, I wasn't happy. It was going downhill. He was spending more time away. He worked at a town and he was gone for weeks at a time. Like he just he wasn't intuitive either. And so it just wasn't working. And, you know, we ended up sadly, deciding that divorce is what we had to do. We tried everything. So it's not like we just sort of threw in the towel. And it just wasn't wasn't working. So you know, I finally said I'd had enough and he got kind of ugly about it. And I said, Please, you know, you need to leave, I can't be a good person and a good mom with you here like, please, Nope, he's not going to leave. It's his house. He was on title. I was not. I hadn't worked in probably six years. You know, just prior to that, though, just sort of backup I, I had known for a while that all of this was coming down the pipe. So I ended up you know, I realized I didn't have any, you know, skills I hadn't worked in almost a decade. And I didn't I didn't have any job skills. I had no money, I was flat broke. Like he supported everything. And I didn't know how I was going to leave. And it was a year, I ended up I knew he wouldn't pay to send me back to university. I managed to I managed to get him I managed to somehow talk him into putting me through real estate school. So he did, it was cheaper. And so I spent that year putting myself through that school and raising our daughter and come boxing day he wouldn't leave. So we did. And we moved into my parents basement. Again, without my parents, oh my god, we would have been in in from the cold probably right? Like there was just no money. And so there I am selling my own house. I was co listing my own house, which was like the first house I ever sold was mine. It was very sad. And living in my basement suite at my parents house with my two year old trying to launch a brand new real estate career with $0 Oh my gosh. And you know, this is this is kind of I was a realtor for three years before I started came up with this idea. And it just, it just spoke to me. I just, I just thought, you know, I I don't think that there's a realtor in the city that doesn't get into this line of business initially. To not help people like, you know, but I wanted to have a purpose in my assistance with others, not just oh, I want to help people buy a house like, no, I really want to be of service to the community. Right? And how can I do that through my profession? You know, how can I make this a part of what I do? Because I really don't have time to just sort of like, do charity and you know, all this other stuff. So how can I how can I work this into what I do, right? And the second it happened for me, I was like, Oh my gosh, I've found my purpose here. This is this is the reality of this right? I understand the feelings behind this. I understand what it looks like. I understand the chaos around it. And so I really dove into it. And there's there's so much more to talk about with this right like just on the financial end like I have financial people that I work with as well. I have you know I have a wonderful woman who works who Who works almost exclusively in insurance and advising in that department. And she has guided me with my daughter into all kinds of like, really neat places that, you know, you just sort of think, oh, insurance, but there's, there's a lot there. So I've added her to the team, because, you know, there's all kinds of little secrets in there that are really neat. And, you know, I hired a financial planner, because, you know, we need to get started on portfolios. And, you know, there's just, there's so much, right.
Deena Kordt 30:35
So to find a bit like that, to help people, in places where you have personally experienced that need is, is crucial, I think it makes the service you provide very authentic, very, very genuine, right? People will feel that, that care. Now, this isn't something I think I even asked you when I've talked to you before. But were our listeners, I think they would be curious to know, is this a fee service? Or is this part of your realtor commission just as just a service that you provide? Besides, is the concierge service something that they opt in? And there's a fee for it? Or how does that work?
Sarah Scott 31:25
Yeah, no? And that's a really good question. That there is a fee for the concierge service. It's very, very time consuming. Not Not everybody is, you know, needing needing the service as deeply as others. But it can get very time consuming. So there is a fee, it starts at $500. And then depending on what your needs are, it can it can move up from there. So it's kind of a sliding scale starting at $500. Okay,
Deena Kordt 32:01
yeah, fair enough. Because that's what I was thinking, the more I was hearing, all the time, and the effort that's involved on your part to make sure you can facilitate, whether it's the trades or whatever it is that you're managing, that is definitely a lot of extra work. But it's taken off their plate, and it's in some cases would be priceless. I mean, not having to manage and deal with all these different aspects, the stress that how do you put a value on that? Right?
Sarah Scott 32:36
Yes, it's, it's true. It's, um, you know, I, I've had clients that, you know, have have said, Oh, I don't know if $500, you know, but then it's like, then they don't have to think about and they're like, so worth it. Right. Then I've had other clients that and I kind of love these clients, because they're, I can just do what I want with these guys. Right? Like, they're like, I don't care, just get it done. Here's my credit card. And I'm like, I don't know, I don't want that. But thank you. But you know, like, like, in those cases, I'm more of a house planter almost right at that point, and, and then I can just go ahead, and I can do it myself, and I can plan it myself. Then usually, I mean, those those those clients are, you know, drop it and forget it, just like just get it done. That's, and those are usually my higher end clients that are just like, I don't have time for this like, and at the end of the day, when they come back to the house on moving day, and it's spick and span. And I'm saying, Kate, we're taking possession of your new house in one hour. Let's go right, and we walk in, and the movers are there. And the unpacker is there and everyone is ready. And they say, okay, great. And I dropped the keys in their hand and then they go back to work. And when they come home that night, the whole house is unpacked and they're moved in. Right.
Deena Kordt 34:17
That's a question that I was just going to ask you is if you help if you offer as part of your services to help them on the other end, as well for the house that they are moving or buying into if that is the case, and there's work that needs to be done in their new home. Yes, you will also offer to help them with that.
Sarah Scott 34:39
Absolutely. I had a client just recently that moves they they actually were not divorcing they were downsizing. So this service actually just to sort of let everybody know that's listening in today. You know, my, the people that I specialize with are divorcing and stuff Upgrading, but this service can be helpful for anybody that is having a busy life and needing to move and list their home and purchase a new one. I do work both with buyers and sellers, and usually the sellers are looking to purchase something if they're moving into a rental situation after they sell, I also I don't personally do rentals, but I do have people that that will work with them with rentals as well. But yes, I mean, absolutely, this service goes both ways. It's not just for when you're listing your property with me, it's also when you've purchased something, and you know, their needs like, like, I've got, I've got Rental Guys, right? If you need, if you need a whole rent, no, I have a person that does that. And they have, you know, they have their own people that they work with. Or if you just need like a paint job, I've got my painter, if you need an electrician, like all of that stuff, right? So I mean, the the service is extremely tailored to the client. So not this is not a one size fits all by any case. It is very, very tailored and very, very personalized to the people that I'm working with. So that's fantastic.
Deena Kordt 36:19
Now, we need you on again, at some point, because like you said a lot more to this. And I don't want to firehose, everybody with all the information in in one sitting. Now, I understand that you do have a workshop coming up. Next week, this, this is airing, in the end of March of 2023, your workshop is coming up right away.

I'm very good at listing properties. And I don't know of anyone that hasn't been happy with listing with me. I take that side of the job very seriously. There's a difference between buying agents and listing agents. And if you can find a realtor that can do both, you've scored. Because the buying is kind of the fun part that's like yay, you know, you get you get the happy go lucky Sarah, which is like, Yeah, let's go shopping. Right? On the listing aspect, like it's all business. And it's there's, there's a lot of money changing hands, it's people want the best value for, you know, the best, the best dollar for their value.
