What To Do Before You Buy A Home

Share This Post:

Buying a home will be one of the biggest investments you will ever make – but it doesn’t have to be stressful. We have a simple 8-step system prepared so you know exactly what to expect during this exciting process.

Whether you own multiple properties or are a first time buyer; our experienced agents will guide you every step of the way.

STEP 1

First things first: let’s meet in person. We’ll get together to discuss your budget, lifestyle, and preferred area so we can find you the best house in the ideal neighbourhood.

STEP 2

Once you have gone to the bank for pre-approval, we can move forward and complete Step 3: signing the Buyer Agency Agreement.

STEP 3

We will have a face-to-face meeting to create a home profile specific to your needs and wants. This includes your preferred schools, parking requirements, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, desired amenities, proximity to transit, and more. We’ll discuss the appropriate buying strategy, pricing, and confirm financing.

STEP 4

Now we’ll start the search and begin the MLS research to find available homes that fit your profile. We’ll call our current database and all of the agents in the area to see if they have potential properties available. We always visit the agent open house before showing it to you to make sure it’s a good fit.

STEP 5

After we’ve found potential houses, we’ll set up showings and see the house with you.

STEP 6

When you have found the house you want, we’ll personally negotiate for you and present all the offers – we know the best pricing for the neighbourhood and will guide you through the complete process.

STEP 7

Last but not least, we’ll review the final costs so that there are no surprises. We will look over lawyer fees, land transfer taxes, closing costs, moving expenses, and any other charges.
