Selecting an Agent.

If you’re planning on buying a home, you may have already done some shopping around on your own. Perhaps you’ve checked out a few open houses or called the number on a For Sale sign to schedule a private viewing of that property.

Yes, you can do all of that on your own, if you have the time and expertise. However, statistics prove that you’ll be more successful in finding your dream home at the right price with your own personal real estate agent.

Arrange Financing.

A Mortgage Pre-Approval is a document that gives buyers a clear picture on what they can afford in the current market, and it shows the the sellers that you are a prepared, and serious buyer - which is an advantage in a competitive market.

You can arrange for a Mortgage Pre-Approval with your bank or other lender, or by working with a good mortgage broker. I’m well-connected in the local real estate scene, so if you want me to recommend a reputable broker or lender, please contact me.

Viewing Homes.

As your real estate agent, my most important job is to make the home shopping process pleasant and rewarding for you.

I regularly recommend and schedule properties for viewing that closely match your needs and wants, and are within your price range. Upon viewing a property, I provide you with in-depth details, such as closing dates, market value and an overview of the neighbourhood so you can make an informed decision.

When you find a property you like, I give you my honest, professional recommendation as to how well the home meets your needs and wants. You won’t have to make such an important decision without my expert advice.

Preparing an Offer.

When you view a home on the market that you really want, you can hardly wait to be handed the keys. In fact, you may worry that the property will somehow slip through your fingers. My job, as your real estate agent, is to ensure you get that home – and at a price that works for you.

The first step is preparing the Offer. This is the document I present to the seller that basically states the price you’re offering, as well as any conditions. The price we go in with is critical. You want it to reflect the true market value of the property so the seller will take your offer seriously. On the other hand, you don’t want to go in too high and risk overpaying for the home. With my knowledge of the process, we can prepare a winning offer and get you the property at the lowest possible price.
