You need a good Real Estate Agent in the area who will work hard for you. Our Real Estate Team is dedicated to
helping you find the right home, at the best price. We want you to find the home that will make you happy and
successful in real estate ownership.
When you hire us to help you buy your home, we want to know your "must-haves" and your "would be nice
but not a deal killer" list. We also need to know how much you can afford and still live comfortably. Then we will
find a way to merge these two priorities and find a residence that you will enjoy owning.
Engage the services of a good real estate lawyer. We can recommend several lawyers in the area who might be a
good fit for you. Interview them to ensure that you get someone you can work with. The legalities of transferring
land ownership
can be dodgy, and a lawyer can be your best defence against future legal troubles. A good lawyer can charge
several hundred to over a thousand dollars for their services, but the thousands of dollars saved in legal fees later
on makes this a good expense.
Make the offer. This can be a maze of "buyer", "seller", "chattels", "deposit", and "completion". We will be happy
to prepare the paperwork and go through it with you before submitting it. Remember, the Seller may reject or
counter your offer, so even at this late date, avoid setting your heart on the home you hope to own. You will probably
have to write a deposit check to the seller's broker that proves the seriousness of your offer.
Get all necessary inspections done. A home inspector will check for signs of harmful materials like asbestos, lead
paint and mold. They will also check for evidence of pests, faulty wiring and leaks. This is a crucial part of the home
purchase. Not getting an inspection done means that you could be stuck in a home with a bad case of black mold
and no recourse other than to pay for its removal. Inspections will cost a few hundred dollars, but again, this is
more than worth it in the end. There are several inspectors in the area that we would be happy to recommend.
Do a final walk-through before closing the deal. We would be happy to do this with you to make sure that
everything agreed upon is completed prior to the final signing.
From the first interview that determines your requirements to the moment you receive the keys, we can help you
with the complicated process of buying a home.
