Buyer's Plan

 

            Anna's Buying Plan

 

            The more prepared you are as you start looking for a new home, the easier and more enjoyable 

            the process will be.

 

            A successful property search starts with a clear understanding of your wants and needs.

 

            So ask yourself:

• • • Where do you want to live?
    • How much can you afford?
    • Do you rely on public transportation?
    • How much renovation are you willing to do?
    • How many bedrooms do you need? How many would you like to have?
    • How many bathrooms do you need? How many would you like to have?
    • How big a house do you want? How many rooms? How many square feet?
    • What features are important? (air conditioning, carpeting, ceramic tile floors, hardwood floors, eat-in kitchen, separate dining room, formal living room, family room, den, library, basement, separate laundry room, fireplace, workshop, other)
    • Do you have special physical requirements, such as wheel chair access?
    • Do you have pets to consider?
    • What sort of lot would you like? (yard, garage, patio/deck, other buildings)

 

            Based on your answers, I will develop a search strategy that helps you quickly find exactly 

            what you’re looking for.

 

            Your Mortgage

            Find out about your mortgage options before you start looking. Once you have pre-qualified, 

            consider applying for a pre-approved loan to speed up the purchasing process. Try my     

            Mortgage Affordability Calculator for a quick estimate. 

 

            Viewing Homes

            I will work with you to expand your choices and help you identify the best options by highlighting 

            the features and benefits of specific homes and their neighbourhoods.

 

            Purchasing/Preparing an Offer

            I will show you what comparable houses are selling for, help you to assess the condition of 

            the house, and to gauge the type of competition you may face. Once you have decided on 

            the price you are prepared to offer, I will draft the offer and communicate it to the seller, or 

            the seller's representative, on your behalf.  

 

            Inspection

            A home inspection is an important step to protect you and your investment. I will refer to you 

            a qualified home inspector who will give your house a thorough examination.

 

            Closing

            Even after you pick up your keys, I will help ensure your closing day goes smoothly. Once 

            the house is yours, I can also help you facilitate any moving and renovation requirements.
