Buying

There are many steps to follow on the path to home ownership. It can feel overwhelming at times. Having the right realtor in your corner can make all the difference.


Peace of mind is worth its weight in gold. My goal is to make the process of purchasing your home easier, more enjoyable, & less time-consuming. I pride myself on my ability to help my clients find their perfect home and feel good about their purchase.


Below is a list of things you can do to simplify your home buying experience. If you have questions about how to buy a home, contact me any time. It would be my pleasure to help you.


Step 1: I Will Help You Figure out Your Must Haves

There are many reasons to purchase a home. Knowing your “why” can help you start your search & make it easier to find the perfect home. Once you know your why, it is easier for us to figure out what kind of home and where you would like to be. I can help you get specific. Separating the "must haves" from the "want to haves" allows me to narrow down your search to find your dream home.

Step 2: Loan Pre-Approval

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step is to get pre-approved with a mortgage company or bank. This can be done in person, over the phone & via email. A Pre-approval is a more specfic estimate of what you can borrow from the lender. With this you can also discuss how much you are comforatble spending & the different types of mortages available to you.


Here a list of mortgage professionals in Edmonton that I recommend to my clients. All of them have an excellent reputation & track record for successfully acquiring loan approval for their clients. If you have questions, get in touch with me & I can help you find the right mortgage professional for you.

Step 3: I Will Find The Right Homes For You

Once you are pre-qualified with a mortgage company & know what price range you want to stay in, I will help you determine which properties best fit your needs. As you find homes that seem to be a good fit, we will attend showings together and I will walk you through the many things to consider before making an offer.


I have received excellent feedback about the work I do for my clients. Check out my testimonials page to read about how I go above and beyond to make the home buying experience a great one for my clients.

Step 4: I Will Help You Every Step Of The Way

My top priority is to make sure that your home buying experience is pleasant, cost-efficient, and successful!
