hether you're a first-time home buyer, upsizer, downsizer or an experienced investor, we're committed to guiding you through the buying process.
1. Get Pre-Qualified
Before you start your search we recommend getting pre-qualified for your mortgage. This will help you understand what you can afford, what your payments will be like, what interest rates are available for your purchase and what kind of home you should focus on. Need a recommendation? We have preferred mortgage brokers we can introduce you to get the ball rolling. Contact us today to find out more.
2. Narrow down your housing type and neighbourhood criteria
Is a condo, townhome or detached home right for you, your family and your budget? Which neighbourhoods do you prefer? Have you researched the schools, walkability, transit, parking, and amenities in the area? These are important considerations that we will guide you through to ensure all your boxes are checked when touring prospective homes.
3. Create a must-have and nice-to-have criteria list
How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need? Do you want a yard, garage, parking? Do you need a basement tenant to make your mortgage work? Do you prefer a south facing patio and a pool? We will work with you to narrow down your requirements to ensure you see the right homes that suit your needs.
