BUY A PROPERTY IN 8 STEPS
Buying a home or a land is not only the most significant investment you’ll make, but it’s also a place where your happiness matters. Therefore, when the moment arrives and you’re prepared to proceed with a purchase, make sure you line up your ducks.
Assess your financial situation and ensure you have a clear understanding of your budget and affordability. Determine how much you can comfortably afford for a down payment, monthly mortgage payments, insurance (If you choose to), and other associated costs (at least 5-10% of the total cost of the property).
What areas of the city do you want to live in? Do you love the rush of downtown or are you a “village in the city” kind of buyer? Do you prefer established neighbourhoods with the top notch schools or emerging neighbourhoods undergoing rapid change? Do you like to be near a lively commercial strip or do you hate the noise? Know exactly what you want.
When it comes to buying a property, the quest for the perfect feature is an essential part of the decision-making process. Been specific about exactly what you want is one of the steps to getting what you want.

Once you’ve explored the options we’ve presented, it’s time to take the next step and book an inspection.
Clients are often unsure what they can get for their particular budget. I like to show clients a home at the same price in different neighbourhood. So, you know what you can get in the less expensive neighbourhood compared to a more established one. Then, I find, the buyer will have a better idea if they would like to buy a smaller, less renovated home in a better, central neighbourhood or vice versa.
This crucial phase allows you to personally experience the properties and make an informed choice. Walking through the spaces, you’ll be able to gauge the ambiance, assess the layout, and envision yourself living there. Pay attention to the details that matter most to you, whether it’s the flow of natural light, the functionality of the rooms, or the overall atmosphere. By actively participating in the inspection process, you gain a deeper understanding of each property’s potential. So, seize the opportunity, book an inspection, and let your firsthand impressions guide you towards finding your perfect home.
