During our initial meeting, here
is what you can expect.
Needs vs Wants – You will no
doubt have specific things that you must have in your
home that you will not live without (needs). In addition
you will likely have things that you would really like
to have (wants), but could live without if the home
had everything else you needed. Together we will determine
exactly the type of home you are looking for based on
these lists.
Location – I have extensive
knowledge on all the various areas, so based on the
information you give me, I can help you determine the
right neighbourhood(s) for you and your family to live,
work and play in.
Budget – I will assist you in
getting your pre-approved mortgage. This will let you
know exactly what you can spend, so you don’t
waste time looking at homes that are not in your budget.
Getting pre-approved is also beneficial when it comes
to negotiating for the home you decide to purchase.
You can feel more confident knowing exactly how much
you have to spend and how much negotiating room you
actually have.
Listings – I will provide you
with some MLS listings and information on homes listed
for sale.
Services – I will provide you
with lists of all the people, companies and general
information you will need. (ie. lawyers, home inspectors,
schools etc.)
Once we have determined the most important factors
in your home purchase, then comes the fun part. Viewing
houses. I will save you time by researching
and previewing each home before I take you to see it,
so we only see homes that match the list.
