Buyer FAQS
How does the buying process work, step by step?
The process begins with an initial consultation, verification of deposit fund sources and confirmed mortgage pre-approval, signing the exclusive agent agreement, followed by curated property selection, tours, offer preparation, and closing.
What is the timeline for purchasing a home?
Vacant properties purchased without financing may allow possession in as little as a week, subject to lawyer timelines and legal documentation. Purchases involving financing or occupied homes typically close within 30–60 days.
Can we tour homes on our own?
Touring with your agent allows us to communicate directly with the listing side, move quickly on competitive properties, offer insight on the home, and advocate for you during negotiations.
How long do negotiations take?
Some negotiations move quickly, while others take longer due to seller response times, financing verification, lender availability, and timing around weekends or statutory holidays.
What are the steps after an offer is accepted?
Once an offer is accepted, the next steps include financing verification, inspections, document review by lenders and lawyers, title processing, a final walkthrough, and possession.
What should I do if there are multiple offers on a property?
We objectively assess the demand against the neighbourhood comparables, helping you weigh price, priorities, and long-term resale considerations before moving forward.
How long is a pre-approval valid?
Pre-approvals typically last 90–120 days, after that lenders may require updated financial information. Being ready to purchase within the first 30 days allows flexibility if the first offer falls through.
How do you support a successful closing?
Preparation, being organized, clear communication, and proactive coordination with lenders, lawyers, inspectors, and the seller’s agent play the biggest role in a successful closing.
