Meeting with several first-time buyers each year, I offer complimentary and informative presentations on buying your first home. Absolutely no cost, no hassle, and no commitment.

Searching yourself? Remember...Not all homes are on the public MLS site. Many homes do not have signs out front What is the process all about & why should you entrust your confidence and business with a real estate agent? Are there any costs or service guarantees? What are the financial, legal or tax implications in the purchase of a home? How can I, as a professional real estate consultant, provide guidance in terms of communities, neighborhood home search, successful negotiation, competitive financing, and selection of a building inspector, notary, or other experts that might be required throughout the process? How does the monthly budget really relate to the purchase and are there any programs that you could benefit from? What are the pitfalls of open housing & how can you ensure you're well informed? What are the most common mistakes buyers make when considering private home purchases and how can you avoid these costly errors? Remember: Choose your realtor first - then choose your home. ;

One of the most important decisions
and one of the largest investments you'll make in a lifetime.

UPGRADING

Maximize your opportunities and minimize your stress, inconvenience and cost.

"What if we sell and can't find the right home?" "What if we buy and don't sell in time?" "When is the best time to make the move?" "How do conditional offers work?" (advantages/disadvantages)

• Sound professional guidance - don't leave home without it !!!
• Timing is key.
• Are you considering all of the right options?
• How can I benefit from competitive financing or alternative mortgage arrangements?
• Be prepared - that 'Dream Home" or special location might not be for sale today, however, I'm in an advantageous position to ensure you get priority exposure in future.
• Drafting specific clauses in agreements can eliminate your risk in special circumstances.

CONSIDERING NEW CONSTRUCTION?

• Do you realize that I have access to most Project model homes, as many builders cooperate with Real Estate to market their homes through the MLS or exclusive listing systems - without any additional cost to you.
• GST/PST is applicable to new construction and often included in the price, which is inflated accordingly. It is important to consider the hidden costs when buying new (such as landscaping, fencing, driveway, extra interior finishing etc.).
• Property tax & school tax are seldom confirmed at time of purchase.
• Custom Construction? We have access to vacant lots and reputable builders in order for you to build your 'Dream Home'.
