Getting the Facts About Buying

We believe in walking you through the buying process, educating you on the details, and delivering on your goals. It’s that simple, but only when you work with experts.

As full-time agents, you become our number one priority. We consult with you, only move ahead with your approval, and help you to find, analyze, negotiate, and close on your future dream home.

Our approach to buying is based on helping you, in your unique situation, to reach your goals on terms that suit your life.

“As first-time home buyers, we didn’t know what to expect. With the help of Françoise, not only did she help us narrow down what we really wanted for our family she made the process very easy. She made our dream come true with buying our home.”

- Denise & Anthony

The Ways We Help Buyers

The way we help buyers is based on four key principles…

01
Knowledge


If it’s your first time, second, or fifteenth, we help walk you through the process and the way the market currently looks.

02
Access


We’ll schedule showings, walk you through homes, and point out any red flags to protect your future investment (and to develop leverage).

03
Negotiating


It’s our job to treat your money like it’s our own. That means negotiating with finesse, and getting the right terms and the best deal.

04
Closing


Once everything is signed, we help you coordinate all the things that you need – buyer programs, move-in details, and more.

What kind of closing costs should I expect?

Closing costs are typical whenever purchasing a home in the Greater Toronto Area. They can cost between 1.5 and 2.5% of the purchase price, and are in addition to the down payment. They may generally include: closing adjustments, interest adjustment, legal fees, land transfer tax, title insurance fee, home inspection fee, fire insurance, additional expenses, application fees, sales taxes, moving expenses, and more. Working with a real estate professional can help walk you through these so you have a full and complete understanding.

What are the benefits of purchasing a resale home?

Purchasing a resale home in Brampton, Caledon, Mississauga or Toronto is often a better alternative to buying a new home from a builder. While the wait time for moving into a new home can be as much as 2 years, the move-in time for a resale home is normally between 30 to 90 days. Resale homes have the advantage of being in established neighbourhoods. Schools have been built, amenities are in place, and more. Another advantage to purchasing a resale home is that the price is almost always negotiable. This is rarely the case when purchasing from builders, whose prices are usually firm.

Should I buy or continue renting a property?

Everyone needs a place to live. In most cases, you maintain that place by paying rent to a landlord, or paying a mortgage to the bank. Buying a home makes financial sense if you are going to live in it for at least three, four, or preferably five years. Real Estate has always been considered a long-term investment. When considering buying versus renting, the one question you need to ask yourself is, Do I really want to pay RENT for the rest of my life?
