Buying

Balancing Practical and Emotional Needs

Whether you’re a first-time home buyer or a seasoned vet when it comes to the property market, I understand that such a major purchase carries with it a whole raft of emotional challenges. People can often struggle with finding an ideal home that not only fits within their budget, but will also balance their practical and emotional needs. As if that isn’t enough, dealing with the complications of each stage of the home buying process can be intimidating too. Loads of paperwork, keeping an even head in negotiations, securing financing, navigating complex closing procedures and legal matters… where does one begin? Not to mention that for most folks, it’s the single largest financial investment they’ll ever make.

Well – relax.

Managing the complexities of all manners of real estate transactions is my life – making sense of the process is what I do, and I’ve dedicated my career to ensuring that my clients meet with success in finding that perfect home.

From the initial point of contact with every client, I take care to ensure that you are kept informed of and made knowledgeable about each step in the home buying process. As one of the first and most critical of these steps, I will assist in directing you to a competent mortgage broker who can get you pre-approved for the lowest mortgage rate possible. Buyers who are pre-approved for financing face a far easier path towards the ultimate purchase of their home.

As we continue to work together, I will listen attentively to your needs and personal criteria in identifying an ideal property. By using the exclusive tools and numerous industry contacts at my disposal, I will present you with a selection of available properties best suited to your conditions. Additionally, you can expect to receive an immediate notification from me any time a new property appears on the market that meets your expectations.

I’m happy to maintain close relationships with my clients long after the sale, and am always available to field any questions or concerns as your experience of home ownership unfolds.

Your best interest – I commit to analyzing each property objectively– I will assist you in the selection process by providing an unbiased critique of each property we tour, and by scheduling appointments to see the properties that catch your eye. Just let me know your availability, and I’ll handle the rest.

I pride myself on my knowledge of Waterloo Region. You can depend on me to carry out thorough market research – to study the neighbourhoods and areas that you are most interested in, giving you valuable information on nearby schools, zoning, amenities, community programs, future construction, and more. I’ll network with over 1,200 Realtors in Kitchener-Waterloo, gaining exclusive insight into properties not yet advertised that might fit your criteria.

When it comes to choosing a property and submitting an offer, I’ll be at your side or available for immediate contact 24/7. I will assess each property to ensure that you’re not paying above fair market value, and will be a staunch negotiator on your behalf when bargaining on price, financing, conditions, possession date, and more.

Nor does our relationship end when the deal is done. I’ll manage every detail of the closing procedure, working with other professionals from the mortgage and legal industries to give you the smoothest experience possible.
