GUIDE FOR FORT MCMURRAY HOME BUYERS
While the home buying process may seem daunting, here’s what you need to know: your agent and brokerage have your back. We will be with you every step of the way, providing invaluable support and guidance to make the transaction as smooth and seamless as possible. And yes, that’s entirely possible.
Step 1
Chose the Right Team for the Job
We will empower you with key market information and every possible advantage to ensure you become an educated buyer. Educated buyers can make informed decisions creating a stress-free and enjoyable home-buying process.
Step 2
Apply for a Home Loan
Applying for a mortgage is a sensitive process. We can advise you on what to do and what NOT to do when applying for a home loan.
Step 3
Get Pre-Approved
Being pre-approved for a home loan is a powerful negotiating tool. The seller of your dream home will feel more comfortable that you are the right person. We can help you partner with a mortgage broker or financial institution that will find you the right mortgage product at the best rate.
Step 4
Start Your Home Search
Now for the exciting part – looking for the perfect home! Though it may seem daunting, with so many properties to choose from, it's important to streamline your search criteria to make the process easier.
Step 5
Make an Educated Offer
The ongoing communication and education you will receive from our team will empower you to make an informed offer and get the best possible deal on the home that you desire.
Step 6
Satisfy Conditions, Inspections & Waivers
This involves collecting your initial deposit, performing a home inspection, getting the rest of your personal information and the property information to your mortgage broker or bank, and arranging for the other information that might be necessary, like surveys, water tests and condominium documents. This may sound like a lot, but we're here to guide you through the process.
Step 7
Get a Home Inspection
Home inspections allow you to scrutinize the details of the home and save you from some unpleasant surprises. We are happy to recommend a qualified, reputable home inspector who will ensure that you receive a detailed report summarizing the condition of your home.
Step 8
Close the Deal
Typically you will have anywhere from 30 to 90 days to get everything ready for your home. It could be shorter or longer, depending on what you need and have agreed upon with the seller. You can rest assured that we are with you every step of the way.
