Buying this year?
Here is what you need to know.
You have heard it time and time again- buying a house is scary, especially your first time. The thing is… it doesn’t have to be. To avoid confusion, this doesn’t mean this will be easy, but there are steps I take with my clients to alleviate a lot of that stress. My biggest moto for my clients is this “ Focus on finding a place you love- let me handle the rest”
From Buyer to Owner
Here are the steps to purchasing your next property
1
Get Pre-Approved
Getting pre-approved by a mortgage broker is always the first step. This lets us know where to start looking.
2
Speak to a Financial Advisor
Did you know first-time home buyers are eligible to use funds from their RSSPs when purchasing a home? Talk to a financial advisor to see all the options available to you.
3
Understand Hidden Expenses
Some expenses are “hidden” meaning not included in the sale price- but very much needed to complete the sale. Ask me about hidden costs to take into account.
4
Know Your Limit
Have a deliberate discussion to establish your financial limits, setting a clear and unwavering ceiling that you are determined not to exceed. Emotions run high when you’re in the thick of it, it’s better to have this conversation with a clear head.
5
Work With Me
When buying using an agent is 100% free. Let me handle all the paperwork, arranging the showings and the back-and-forth negotiations. I know what to look for and will make this experience as smooth and painless as possible.
6
Enjoy the Process
Easier said than done, but don’t stress! Let me handle all the stressful elements of this and you should focus on finding exactly what you are looking for. I will handle the rest.
Everyone needs a place to call home
Let me help you find yours.
