A personalized way to buy a house with a qualified agent
Buying the dream…
As a buyer, you need someone to protect YOU.
A listing agent represents the seller and a seller pays the commission, so why wouldn’t you use an agent to buy your most important investment? Whether it’s your first condo or the multi-million dollar estate you’ve been working so hard for, we strongly believe that no matter what the price point, you deserve the highest quality of service.
ADVICE
Pre-Qualification
Meet with a mortgage broker and find out how much you can afford to pay for a home.
Pre-Approval
While knowing how much you can afford is the first step, sellers will be much more receptive to potential buyers who have been pre-approved. You’ll also avoid being disappointed when going after homes that are out of your price range.
List of Needs & Wants
Make 2 lists. The first should include items you must have that are non-negotiable (i.e., the number of bedrooms and/or bathrooms you need for your family, parking etc..). The second list is your wishes, things you would like to have (pool, den, etc.) but that are not absolutely necessary. Realistically for first-time buyers, you probably will not get everything on your wish list, but it will keep you on track for what you are looking for.
Be Objective
Instead of thinking with your heart when you find a home, think with your head. Does this home really meet your needs? Don’t make a hurried decision that you may regret later.
