When purchasing a home, investment property or piece of land, you are faced with an array of decisions…
Let us help you every step of the way!
… CALL US!
We’ll use our 20 years of experience and knowledge to guide you through the process, making it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Working for so many years on Gabriola and in Nanaimo gives us extensive knowledge of the current availability,values, and market conditions. We can help you make an informed decision!
We start by setting up a Buyer’s Appointment with you, where we gather information, ensure that you are prepared, and outline all the steps involved in your upcoming purchase.
… Get financing & mortgage approval
You will want to arrange for financing early on, as being prepared in advance offers several advantages:
- The amount you qualify for is often the biggest factor in determining which properties you will consider.
- Knowing what your price range is will alleviate stress when you find the right property and want to write an offer.
- Getting financed before you find a property gives you time to shop for the best mortgage without being under pressure.
- When you have financial backing in place and ready to go, sellers will perceive you as a Preferred Buyer.
Submitting financial information to the lender to arrange for pre-approval can be a complex process. We can help you by recommending a mortgage broker or local lender that has an excellent track record in acquiring loan approval for their clients – just ask us!
… Let us find the right home for you!
Once you are pre-qualified and know your price range, we can begin your search.
In this fast-paced market, you need to know quickly when a suitable property comes up. We will create a customized search, so you will be instantly notified of new listings that meet your needs.
We have the best network, resources, and communication systems available to make sure we locate the property that is right for you! This includes providing important information about local zoning issues, utilities, and various other considerations about the home and the area. We can even preview homes to save you time!
… Trust the professionals to represent your interests.
Our top priority is to make sure that your home buying experience is pleasant, cost-efficient, and successful. Working with us on your next purchase will save you time and money, and give you confidence that you are properly represented.
After discussing and researching the home you are interested in, we work with you on drafting an offer that includes any of the due diligence you want to investigate further. We then use our expert negotiating skills to get you the best possible deal.
Once we have an accepted offer in place, we continue to work with you in setting up inspections, liaising with inspectors, lenders, and insurance companies on your behalf, and ensuring all the paperwork is in place. With our twenty years of experience negotiating hundreds of sales, and our continual professional development, we will effectively serve your interests.
