Minding Your Business

Making a decision to buy your own home or sell your current home usually comes after countless hours spent wondering, “Can I afford to buy my own home?” or “Can I afford to sell my home?” Followed by the thought, “Can I afford not to?”

Whether you are new to the market with you first home purchase or sale, you want a Realtor whose primary focus is you. Working with a Realtor is an important decision based on what motivates you to buy or sell your home. My keen understanding of targeted marketing and negotiation makes me your ideal Realtor of choice.

Here are some factors that can help you decide: Where do you want to live? Do you like the fast, bustling pace of the downtown core or does your closeness to nature and love of green spaces attract you to the more rural settings? What about somewhere in between, like the suburbs? What are your housing needs? Do you prefer New or Resale? Townhouse? Link? Duplex? Semi-Detached? Detached? Or High Rise? There is the perfect home for your style needs.

It’s not what you earn but what you keep. Your income has to have the buying power to cover your mortgage and additional costs such as, property taxes, condo fees if it applies, taxes, and other miscellaneous costs. Generally, monthly home-carrying costs should not be in excess of between 30-35% of your total income.

How many times have you heard, “Is this is a Buyer’s market? A Seller’s market? Or a Balanced market?” These questions are answered depending on the market conditions at the time you are ready to purchase you home.

Set realistic and attainable goals. Finding the right home for the right person takes a buyer who is open to information that is tailored to them, for them and by them. Once you’ve decided the price range that you can afford, my role has just been taken to the next level. From our initial consultation to showing you properties that meet your unique needs, you can be sure we will find just what you’re looking for.

Pre-approved mortgages lay the foundation for the price of the home you can afford. Your bank or a mortgage broker will give you their specialized service, advice and solutions to meet your mortgage needs and terms. Knowledge and understanding is key to a successful and seamless buying experience.

Settling your finances, leaves you free to search for that home of your choice in the right location complete with the features and benefits you want. There is no set formula for finding the right home but when you find it, you will definitely know! If it meets your budget, you can choose to put in an offer. Your next steps will be the closing and moving into your new home if the offer is accepted. Now, it’s time for you to prepare yourself for an experience of a lifetime.
