Services
Let us help you navigate the Market.
As a full time professional, I ensure to be available to my clients throughout the entire process from start to finish. With the many complexities involved in purchasing real estate, it is essential to put a good team of experienced professionals in your corner. I pride myself on offering a full service real estate experience to all my clients making sure that all aspects of the buying process are covered.
Buying a House
Mortgage Pre-Approval
Often overlooked, potential home buyers will begin the home search process before establishing a property budget for what they are able to afford on a monthly basis. Meeting with a mortgage specialist is an important first step in order to better prepare you and your REALTOR during the house hunt. There is no sense in looking at homes that you are unable to afford.
Viewing Property
Now the fun begins where we get to go out there and explore what the market has to offer in your preferred budget price range. Between open houses and private showings it will be important to see everything that fits your budget, needs list, and even some items on the WISH list.
Where to Look
What neighbourhoods are you interested in?
What amenities do you require near your home?
Based on the pre-approval amount you have been qualified for, you will now be able to determine what properties are affordable in the desired neighbourhoods.
Offering on a Property
Once we have located a suitable property, it is time to put together the legal documentation referred to as "Agreement of Purchase and Sale". I will provide you with the current market statistics as to determine the right price to achieve in purchasing a certain property.
Determining Needs vs. Wants
It would be nice to check all the boxes on your wish list, but sometimes when purchasing a home within your budget sacrifices may have to be made. Determine what is absolutely a must for your next property to have and together we can search out suitable properties that will offer all you need, and even some of the wants.
Closing the Transaction
Once you and the Seller have agreed on the purchase, it is time to get prepared for the big moving day. In order for the property to close and have your name transferred on to the Title of that property, you will need to hire the services of a real estate lawyer to prepare all necessary legal documentation. On the day of completion, you will be handed the keys to your new home as you begin this next exciting step in your life.
