The Purchasing Process.

  • Get Pre-Approved.

    You’ll want to make sure to get this process started ASAP, as getting pre-approved for financing is essential in determining your new home budget.

  • Make an Offer.

    We’ll draw up an offer together, and I’ll negotiate on your behalf.

    We might receive a counter offer. We will review it together and decide on next steps.

Buy or Sell First?

Every situation is unique, so there are a few factors to examine before advising which may be best for you. For example: What are the current market conditions? Are you financially capable of carrying two properties without feeling stressed? If we’re in a seller’s market, you might want to find a new home first, but if we’re in a buyer’s market it’s probably best to sell your property prior to buying. Let’s take a look at the advantages of both.

Buy First When…

  • There is a lot of competition in the market and property prices are rising

  • You’re confident there will be a high level of demand for your existing property

  • You can negotiate or make it conditional on selling your own home

  • You’re looking for something very specific, which may be more challenging to find on a tight timeline

Sell First When…

  • Property prices are flat or declining

  • You want greater certainty about how much you are able to spend on your next home

  • You’re moving locations and buying in a different and slower market

  • You can negotiate a long closing or know that you’ll be able to find something that suits your requirements
