THE BUYERS PLAYBOOK
So you've made the decision to purchase a property. Now what? You've come to the right place.
Whether it be a condo in the city, a home in the suburbs, a cottage on the lake, or vacant land ready for development, we'll guide you every step the way, from initial search to final closing and everything in-between.
Here's a general breakdown of what you can expect throughout the home buying process.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
The first step is meeting and getting to know eachother that way we can better understand your needs and wants and can tailor your home buying experience.
OFFER
We've got a property of interest in our sights, time to make them an offer they can't refuse. We'll ensure we do extra due diligence on the property and negotiate a deal that's in your favour.
CONTACT PROVIDERS
Get in touch with the local utility and service providers to schedule dates and times to have them come in and hook everything up once you've moved in.
MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL
Now that we've met and broke bread, it's time to find out what you can afford. Looking at properties is nice, but looking at properties you can afford is better.
SATISFY CONDITIONS
The offer has been accepted with conditions. We'll assist you in making sure we satisfy all those conditions, including getting an inspector in the property and securing financing.
CLOSE
The day is here, time to get your keys! You've satisfied all conditions and signed all legal documentation with your lawyer, let's get moving into your new home!
PROPERTY SEARCH
We know what you like, we know what you want, we know what you can afford. Now it's time to go on the hunt and find that dream property.
START PACKING
Time to start gathering all of your belongings and disposing of all that "stuff" that has just been sitting in boxes in the basement and garage. If possible, try and donate any useable items to goodwill.
MOVING DAY
Welcome Home! Time to do one last final walkthrough, start unloading the moving truck and begin the next exciting chapter of you and your family's life.
BUYER TIPS
While we always recommend getting the professional representation of a licensed Realtor to assist with your home buying needs, there are some things you can do ahead of time on your own to better prepare you for your home-buying journey.
GATHER YOUR DOCUMENTS
One step you can take before all else is organize yourself! Gather things like your budget, Employment Letter and Tax documents for the last 2 years as your mortgage professional will need them to help qualify you.
CHECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE
Your credit score and repayment history is going to play a major role in qualifying you for a mortgage. Find out what your score is ahead of time and work on building your score up so that you have a favourable credit report by the time you apply.
RESEARCH DESIRED LOCATIONS
Is it close to schools, plazas, medical assistance? What's the drive like to work or to visit family? Picture yourself living in that particular area and determine if it's the right fit for you and your family.
HOW MUCH CAN I AFFORD?
As the saying goes, "Time is Money". Therefore why waste valuable time (money) and energy looking at properties that are not within your budget?
