Real Estate the Right Way
When purchasing a home, there are a variety of tasks and decisions that should be discussed prior to the adventure of the home search from obtaining preapproval from a lender to deciding what property suits you best which we can help you get started with.
Obtaining Pre-Approval
The question we hear most often is “what price range should I focus on. Meeting with a mortgage broker or specialist to understand cost to borrow and what you you wish to pay monthly is always step one. Obtaining a mortgage approval will allow for a successful outcome to be had. We would be more than happy to help you start this process if needed.

An offer is a formal, legal agreement to purchase a home and is legally binding once accepted by the seller. Offers to purchase a home can be made conditional on factors such as financing or a home inspection. If any of the conditions are not met, you can amend or terminate your offer.
We complete the offer with you ensuring all aspects have been reviewed. Market knowledge is crucial to determining an appropriate offer price and handling negotiations and legal paperwork is routine as an experienced agent.
