It is widely regarded that real estate acquisition(s) are typically our largest financial investment. In order to achieve the greatest value in the market, hiring a REALTOR should be an option all prospective Buyers should explore. 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.
STEP ONE - 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.
STEP TWO - 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.
STEP THREE - 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.

STEP FOUR - 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.
STEP FIVE - Offering on a Property
Once we have searched and located a suitable property, it is time to put together the legal documentation referred to as "Agreement of Purchase and Sale". As your representing REALTOR, I will provide you with the current market statistics as to determine the right price to achieve in purchasing a certain property. Often it is encouraged to insert additional terms and conditions on top of the standard "Agreement of Purchase and Sale" in order for you to ensure the eligibility of obtaining a mortgage on a certain property, along with having the opportunity to fully inspect the home in detail with a professionally licensed Home Inspector.
STEP SIX - Closing the Transaction
Once you and the Seller have agreed on all aspects of the purchase of that particular property, 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.
