Looking to buy a home?
Pre-Approval
Establishing a price range is key to making your buying experience smooth. You'll avoid being disappointed when you find a home that you love but is out of your price range. With Pre-Approval the buyer applies for a mortgage and receives a commitment from the lender on how much you can afford. Meet with a mortgage broker at the start of your home buying experience!
Know What You Need
You need to love the home you are buying, but you also need to consider: Does this home have everything you need? Does it have enough bedrooms? Is it close to schools? Etc..
Be Thorough
Don't rush through your buying experience. Make sure you do your due diligence on making sure the home you want is what you expect. Include the proper conditions
Financing, property inspection, sale of buyers home, approval of condominium documents, city approval to build/expand, review of the Real Property Report etc.. Are all common conditions that you need to consider when buying a home
Have the property inspected by a professional. The relatively small amount an inspection costs can save you endless amounts of stress and money in the future
Representation From a Professional
All of the above may seem overwhelming. Consider hiring a Real Estate Professional. Buying a home is likely going to be one your biggest investments.
