BUYING Your dream home

Let us help you every step of the way


Understanding your must-haves, nice-to-haves, the features that do not work for your family or budget is critical when searching for your next home. We know the questions to ask and how to navigate the market to ensure you find and close on your next dream home.

W

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.

4. Go shopping with a trusted advisor

We will tour prospective homes with you, guide you through your requirements list to confirm the properties alignment to your needs. We pride ourselves on not only helping you see why the home is great, but what the pitfalls might be as well so that you make a non-pressured decision that you will enjoy for years to come. 

5. The Art of Negotiation

This is our favourite part! Dates, subjects, pricing, terms can all be used to help you find and close on your perfect match! Trust is our years of experience to get the deal done on your terms. 

6. Closing can be stressful

Signing the deal should't leave you on your own and the closing and possession process can be another whirlwind of stresses, especially when the timeframe is short. But don't worry - we will be with you every step of the way to make sure there are no surprises and you can step confidently through the process.
