Assembling Your Real Estate Team

Have you found your dream home?  Or perhaps you're ready to invest in some real estate property?

Either way, when you're making the biggest financial investment of your life, it's always wise to depend on the expertise of professionals.  Depending on your personal circumstances, you may consider consulting with a few key players:

1. Realtor:  While it's possible to purchase a new home without the assistance of a realtor, there are several benefits to having a real estate professional in your team.  Realtors understand the market and can provide great insights on the current market conditions, the neighbourhood,  and the value of the home.  They may be able to negotiate with the builder as well.
2. Mortgage Specialist:  You will need to meet with a mortgage broker, bank or lending institution prior to commencing your search for that perfect home.  Understanding how much money you have to work with is an excellent first step to narrowing your search.  Obtaining a pre-approved mortgage can save you both time and grief in the long run.
3. Real Estate Lawyer: This is an absolute must.  A good lawyer will protect you from real estate fraud and ensure the property you receive is clear.  The lawyer will walk you through the paperwork and explain the fees as well.

Buying or Selling your home is an important life event.  You will have decisions to make that may have legal impact and just as many questions that need answering.  We can help.  Our goal is to ensure that your transaction proceeds smoothly.
