For many of us, owning a home is a lifelong dream. It brings with it pride of ownership, security and a feeling of control over which improvements are made and how much they cost. There is also the chance your home will increase in value, making it a sound financial as well as a lifestyle investment. When we buy a house there are lots of important things to be considered. Location, style and price are among the most fundamental ones. So, there are important decisions to be made. The purchase of a home is also very emotional! This is when we need somebody next to us to help us! Somebody who knows well the real estate market and the procedures, a counselor that will work with us and represent us. I am here for you.
The reasons for buying property vary widely from one person to another. It is therefore extremely important to discuss your individual needs with your real estate agent before visiting a property. Before making an appointment with your real estate agent, draw up a list of the factors important to you and determine your individual needs such as locality, price, type of property, number of bedrooms, surroundings, public utilities, and so on. Check with your financial institution to find out how much you can afford to carry as a mortgage and have the loan amount preauthorized.
Once you have analysed your individual needs, talk to your neighbourhood RE/MAX agent. If you are moving out of the area in which you currently reside, your local agent will be able to refer you to a professional RE/MAX agent in the area of interest to you.
