BUYING A HOME

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.

    For a first time home buyer having cash for the downpayment is one of the most serious drawbacks. Let me help you with that! Have you heard about the Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP)? It’s a government program to help first-time home buyers. Give me a call and we can discuss if this plan is right for you!

    I will be with you all the way!We will start by getting together and deciding on the location, style and cost. Then we will begin our search: it might take a week or it might take months: nobody knows. You might fall in love with the third house you visit, or you might see fifty before you find “yours”. We will look for as long as it takes to find “THE ONE”. When we find it, I will do the market analysis to make sure that the price asked is in accordance with the market and I will negotiate on your behalf. Once the purchase price is agreed upon, I will be there when the building inspection is taking place and I will make sure everything is conforming. Then we will work together with your financial institution to get you the best mortgage conditions possible. When all that is done, I will be with you at the notary’s office when you will be signing the deed of sale. And hopefully (if you are not yet tired of seeing my face!) I will be at your housewarming party cracking champagne!!!

    Determine your individual needs

    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.

    Talk to a RE/MAX agent

    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.
