Stages of Buying
Here's a step-by-step guide we use to take you from dreaming about homeownership to unlocking the door to your new home:
Consultation
Our process begins with an in-depth discussion about your homebuying goals. We explore your needs, desires, budget, and timeline, giving you a clear understanding of the journey ahead. This session includes a detailed explanation of the buying process, insights into the current market, and a breakdown of the costs involved in purchasing a home.
Getting Pre-Approved
One of the first steps is to obtain a pre-approval from a reputable lender. This gives you a realistic sense of your budget and strengthens your position when you're ready to make an offer. It helps focus your home search on properties within your price range.
Signing the Agreement
To formalize our partnership and commitment to your homebuying journey, we sign a Real Estate Service Agreement. This document reinforces the level of service and professionalism you can expect from us, in line with Manitoba's real estate regulations.
Home Search Activation
With your budget and criteria defined, we set up a customized property alert system. You'll receive real-time notifications for new listings that match your requirements, along with our expert guidance on the best neighbourhoods and properties.
Selection & Evaluation
When a property catches your eye, we conduct a thorough evaluation, reviewing disclosures, comparing market trends, and scheduling property tours. This comprehensive analysis helps you make informed decisions throughout your home search.
Offer & Negotiation
Once you've chosen a property, we prepare your offer with care and precision. We negotiate on your behalf to secure the best terms, ensuring your interests are protected and that you get the most value from the deal.
Offer Acceptance
When your offer is accepted, we quickly move to complete any conditions, like inspections and appraisals. This step is crucial to ensure that your new home meets your expectations and is structurally sound.
Taking Possession
As we near closing, we guide you through the final legal and financial steps, leading to the exciting moment when you receive the keys to your new home. We conduct a final walkthrough to ensure everything is in order, then it's time for you to move in and start your next chapter.
