Our Buying Services
Not Your Typical Realty Service.
After years of experience designing custom dream homes to suit our client’s needs, we have developed an ability to read between the lines of what buyers are searching for. With the knowledge gained during 15 years in the construction industry, we can help our clients see potential issues or design flaws in a home. We’ll show you what comparable homes have sold for recently, assist you in receiving favourable terms, negotiate the best possible price and make sure you get the home that is the best fit for you.
This is an exciting time and we can’t wait to work for you.
Let’s get moving!
FAQs
Do I need to call the REALTOR® the home is listed with to book a showing?
No, this is a common misconception. A licenced REALTOR® can show you any home on the MLS, even if it is listed with another company. It’s best to select a REALTOR® that you feel comfortable working with and view all potential homes with them. Building a trusting relationship is very important when you’re dealing with a decision of this magnitude. The more we get to know our clients, the more tailored and fulfilling the buying experience will be. There is also a difference in the obligations owed to you by the REALTOR® if you are a client vs a customer.
What does hiring a REALTOR® cost?
As a buyer, using a REALTOR® is usually no cost to you. In most cases the commission received by the REALTOR® is paid by the seller.
How much are closing costs?
There is no exact answer to this question as every property and every contract is different, however, you can plan to pay somewhere around 1.5-2.5% of the purchase price in lawyer fees.
** It is always best to check with a lawyer on the breakdown and costs of the fees involved.
How do I time the market?
Trying to time the Real Estate market is like trying to time the stock market. Although it is difficult to do, the more involved with the day to day dealings you are, the better you can read it. We always have our finger on the pulse of Real Estate and can help guide you through ever changing markets. We’ll show you how to make the most of the current Real Estate market, whether it be slow with lots of homes available- or fast paced with limited supply.
