Whether you are a first time buyer looking for an inexpensive condo, or an experienced owner looking to move up to that perfect home, the quality of service I offer you is the same.

More than just a sales person, I work as a consultant, making sure you have all the information you need to make a confident decision that is right for you. I don't "sell" a property to you, but rather point out the pros and cons of each space, and, when requested, give my opinion. My style is laidback, low-pressure, and I don't push anything on you. However, when it comes time to make an offer to purchase, I will be a tough negotiator, making sure you pay the lowest price possible, and at the terms that suit you.

STEPS TO A PERFECT PURCHASE:

- I will help you decide what you can afford and recommend financial institutions where you will find the lowest interest rates and arrange a pre-approval for your mortage, which :

a) specifies the amount of mortgage you qualify for, and b) locks in your interest rates for 2 or 3 months, so that if the rates climb you will be guaranteed the lower rate.

- Together we will create a description of the ideal space for you

- what area of the city, what size, what features, etc., narrowing in on what buildings will be right for you.

- I will keep you informed of the current market and check new listings for you on a daily basis, keeping in touch and arranging showings with you by fax, phone and email.

- When you are ready to buy, I prepare the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, and negotiate it on your behalf.

- After you have bought, I continue to stay in touch, recommending Real Estate Lawyers, and arranging the details of your closing.
