Hello First Time Home Buyer,

Did you know that you may be eligable to obtain up to $2000 refund from the government on the purchase of your home?

There are some restrictions so be sure to check out full details on the government Ontario website, or contact me on my website and I will send you an email of a complete First Time Buyers Package.

First time home buyers put their trust in various professionals to guide them through this major step in their lives. The more information you can gather before you 'take the plunge' the more confident you will be through-out the home buying process.

This package includes:

  • Home hunting work sheets
  • The Offer document put in simple terms
  • Step by step explanation of what happens when you make an offer
  • An explanation of how much it really costs
  • Step by step process of the home buying process
  • Other most common questions answered
  • Useful contact information

I remember the first time that I bought a home. It was exciting for me, but also stressful as I felt that I was not fully informaed on important issues. It is my goal to make sure that as a first timer, you have a stress free experience!

Home Inspections

Buying a home is one of the most important investment decisions you will make in your lifetime. As such, it makes sound financial sense to enlist the services of a qualified home inspection company to ensure your home is as solid and secure on the inside as it is on the outside.

A home inspection will determine the structural and mechanical soundness of your home. Your home inspector will identify existing and potential problem areas, suggest practical low-cost solutions, and provide estimates regarding costs for any work required.

Shortly after the inspection has taken place, a report summarizing the findings is generally provided to the potential purchaser. By commissioning a home inspection prior to purchase, you're protecting both yourself and your investment, as well as buying a little peace-of-mind. Home inspection costs often range according to size, age, and location of the home. As your Realtor, I can recommend a reputable home inspection service or arrange for a home inspector to visit your property.

Sellers In todays real-estate market, where Buyer's have more expectations than ever before, Seller's are wise to adopt a competitive marketing stragegy.

What better way to do this than to offer your potential Buyer's a full detailed home inspection report for them to look at before they submit an offer to purchase your home.

The benifits to you, as the Seller, is that not only will you know exactly what problem areas may arrise before negotiations begin, but you may find that the Buyer will be satisfied with submitting their offer without the condition of them performing their own home inspection. This will no doubt eliminate both the waiting time required before the offer on your home firms up, or worse...
