BUYING

Finding the right home is only the beginning. I’ll help you understand value, make informed decisions and navigate every step from our first conversation through possession.

BUYING A HOME STARTS WITH THE RIGHT GUIDANCE.

The buying process

01 / PRE-APPROVAL

Know your budget

If you need a mortgage, a broker or lender can review your finances, explain your options and help you get pre-approved. We’ll use that as a starting price range for your search.

02 / THE SEARCH

Set your priorities

We’ll talk through your must-haves, preferred areas and timing. I’ll set up a focused search so you can see new listings that fit.

03 / VIEWINGS

Tour and compare

As we view homes, I’ll help you assess condition, location, comparable sales and resale potential beyond the first impression.

04 / THE OFFER

Put your offer together

I’ll prepare the Offer to Purchase with the price, deposit, possession date and appropriate conditions, then negotiate the terms on your behalf.

05 / CONDITIONS

Check the details

After an accepted offer, we’ll arrange inspections, confirm financing and track condition deadlines. I’ll help you review the results before you decide how to proceed.

06 / POSSESSION

Get ready for the keys

Your lawyer handles the final paperwork and funds. I’ll help you stay on top of insurance, utilities and the details leading up to possession.

Professional connections. I’ll help you connect with local professionals for financing, inspections, legal work and other needs that come up during your purchase.

Plan for closing costs. As a starting estimate, set aside about 2.5% of the purchase price in addition to your down payment. This may cover Manitoba land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance and property tax adjustments. The actual total will vary.
