For the largest purchase of your life, effort at this point can reduce a lot of wasted time and disappointment in the long run.
Buying your new home can be one of the largest financial decisions you can make in your life, so it is imperative that you choose the right house and agent.
Whether you are a first time buyer or you have purchased a home in the past, there are a few steps involved in the process.
Getting a pre-approved mortgage through your own bank or mortgage broker is probably the best first step to take towards the journey of finding your next home.
Begin to think in more detail about your current lifestyle and prioritize what you "must have" in your new home.
With those details you will know exactly what you can afford and what options you have and they can lock in the current interest rate for maybe 60-90 days.
With all this information it is time to give Hazel Sinclair a call or send her an email and she give you some options for styles and neighbourhoods and get to know what amenities are important to you. She can set you up on her preferred client notification system to only get homes that meet your exact needs.
She will look forward to hearing from you and to get started on the process of looking for your next new home.
Here are a few things to consider:
- What is my budget for buying this home?
- How much of a down payment do I need?
- What will it cost approximately every month to own?
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms will I need?
- Is there a particular style of home that would be a good fit for me or my family?
- Do I need to be close to work, schools or a specific neighbourhood?
- Do I need to be close to public transportation?
- How quickly do I need this new home?
- Will I need to sell my current home before I buy something else?
