1. Needs
Choosing the desired neighborhood(s) is often one of the first steps. You also need to determine the type of home you want. Next comes a long list of personal preferences, such as the number of bedrooms, access to transportation, or whether or not you want to renovate.
It is normal for these criteria to evolve over time and for your desires to become clearer. It is by exploring the possibilities and visiting properties that things take shape. Our role is to guide you by presenting you with a variety of options that represent the market. It is important to make an informed choice. The goal: when the right one comes along, you will be ready!
It is in your best interest to know your borrowing capacity and to make a budget. The best practice is to obtain mortgage pre-approval before you even start visiting homes. This way, you will know your financial capacity, you will be protected against interest rate increases, and you will have a significant advantage when it comes time to make an offer to a seller, especially if you are in a competitive bidding situation.
2. Search
We all have access to properties for sale through the many websites available to consumers, such as Centris.
