Simple Steps to Buying

Buyers: This is the market we have been waiting for; historically low interest rates combined with a good selection of properties to choose from.

Step 1 – Get a pre-approval (you can contact your bank’s mortgage representative or I can provide you with contacts). It is essential to know your price range.

Step 2 – Decide what is most important to you in a home. Location (specific neighbourhood), access to transportation, number of bedrooms, washrooms, garage, parking spots, balcony (if condominium), etc.

Step 3 – I will conduct daily searches for properties that match your criteria so you will be one of the first to know as soon as they become available for sale. I will then e-mail you the detailed property information. (*Note: you can search the customer site, mls.ca now www.REALTOR.ca, however, this gives you limited information and it is not as frequently updated).

Step 4 – We will have fun visiting the properties that most interest you, at your convenience of course.  I will accomodate your schedule.

Step 5 – When you decide on the place you want, I will present a comparative market analysis on the property to establish fair value.  With an offer, I will fiercely negotiate the purchase price in your favour, as well as inlcude the appropriate conditions in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

Step 6 – Your selected mortgage representative and real estate lawyer will assist you in their respective roles with financing and closing.

Step 7 – Move in and celebrate ..... champagne anyone?
