Discover your dream home in Toronto
Let me guide you through the process of purchasing a home – an exciting milestone whether you're a first-time buyer or expanding your real estate portfolio. I'm here to help you every step of the way.
Six essential steps in your home buying adventure
Working with me I will help guide you along the way, sharing my in-depth knowledge of the market, access to listings, scheduling and guiding you through showings and and perhaps most importantly, negotiate on your behalf, ensuring a smoother buying process.
Define Your Goals & Budget
Take some time to determine what your wants and needs are for your new home such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, location, and any special amenities. At the same, assess your financial situation, determining how much you can comfortably spend. Gather tax info, credit history and any other financial statements you may have.
Research Neighbourhoods
The GTA has many different neighbourhoods that offer unique lifestyles, amenities and price ranges. What do you want in your new neighbourhood? Make a list and research areas that align with your preferences, such as proximity to work, schools, entertainment, safety, and of course, budget. This step will help narrow down your search.
Book a Buyers Consultation
Now that you know what you want, it's time to tell me! Book in a free buyers consultation with me so we can chat about about the market, your criteria, go over any questions you may have and of course, how I can help. We can meet in-person over a cup of coffee, book in a call or meet over a video call.
Get Pre-approved
Before diving into your home search, securing a pre-approval for a mortgage is crucial. This step establishes a defined budget, streamlining your search and empowering you to focus in on properties within your preferred price range. This pivotal step lays the groundwork for a targeted, successful, and rewarding house-hunting process.
Start House Hunting
This is the fun part! Together we'll start visiting homes that match your criteria. When touring homes, even though you may be excited it’s important to pay attention to important aspects such as the condition of the property, layout, and potential renovation needs. Don’t worry though, if you forget I’m always looking and will let you know!
Offer & Negotiations
Once we've found your perfect home, it’s time to make a deal happen. We'll craft a tailored offer using market analysis, past sales, and your desired price. I'll safeguard your interests by including protective measures like Home Inspections and Financial Conditions, ensuring a secure closing and a hassle-free transition.
Finding your dream home
Embarking on the journey to find your dream home goes beyond a simple property hunt. It's about discovering a space that reflects your lifestyle, meets your needs, and sparks joy.

You’ve got questions.
I’ve got answers.
Nada! Real Estate agents get paid by the sellers via the commission they are offering on the listing so pay absolutely nothing. It’s documented and you even get to sign, view and acknowledge what the seller is paying.
Nope. While a 20% down payment has been a traditional benchmark in the real estate industry, it is not a strict requirement to buy a house. Many mortgage programs and lenders offer options with lower down payments.
I always make sure to include a home inspection condition for all my buyers. This conditions is for your protection and to ensure no unpleasant surprises down the road.
Great question and really that depends on the what exactly was discovered and how big of an issue it is. Depending on you we can report the problem back to the sellers and ask for am abatement or you can simply walk away. Because the sale was conditional on a successful inspection you would receive your full deposit back.
Well, yes of course, that’s a sellers dream! That means that once the offer is accepted you are on hook and if you change your mind you will lose your deposit. Having an offer with no conditions is popular when competing with other offers because it helps you stand out and shows the sellers that you mean business and don’t need any financing or security from a home inspection.
Not every home has a competing offers so it really depends on the situation, how bad you want the home and what your individual situation is. If there is no competition (and therefore no need) I will always advise to protect yourself with at least one condition.
Oh no, don’t do that! If you waive your conditions the deal becomes “firm and binding” and your deposit is locked in. It doesn’t matter the circumstances, it’s a legal contract you signed and unforutnaley it will be enforced by the sellers lawyer.
