Here's what we'd like to do
Meet Us!
First order of business is getting together at our office, a local coffee shop, or even at your current home, to ensure you get a chance to see if we’d be the right fit for you. This is usually 45 minutes and gives us that fantastic opportunity to get to know each other and everything about your wants and needs in a home.
Recommendations
Not sure whether to use a bank or mortgage brokerage for your mortgage? We can make recommendations and connect you with some professionals to get your mortgage financing together.
House Shopping
Once you’ve been in touch with a mortgage professional and they’ve given you your pre-approval, you are now ready to start shopping for a home! Lets meet to discuss your approval amount and where you’d like to start looking. Excited? Us too!
Show Time
This is it. We have found the home you want to purchase! You’re so happy with the home and are already visioning your room, how you’d configure your living space, and you’re ready to write up an offer…. This is when it gets even more exciting.
Offers
We provide you with all documentation needed for us to submit an offer. As a team, we will discuss our negotiation strategy to ensure you get this home for what you want it for, within market value, and with the inclusions in the home (fridge, stove, range, dishwasher, washer&dryer, etc.) with a timeline that best suits you! (financing condition timeline, property inspection timeline, possession day, etc.) You’re probably thinking whats a financing condition, property inspection condition.. what are conditions? We’ll make sure you know exactly what these are leading up to this time, from start to sold.
S O L D (our favourite 4-letter word!)
With military like precision, we’ve achieved our objective. It doesn’t end there though. The buying process can be intense and lengthy, so we will stand by your side and offer additional continued services and answer any questions you may have so that you feel comfortable all the way through. We said we’d be there from Start-To-Sold, and we meant it! Now lets work to remove those conditions.
Legal
Now that we have a done deal, conditions have been removed, we need the lawyers to make it official. Bank documents and title transfers are all done at this time. We have long standing relationships with established law firms we can refer you to, unless you have one you’ve worked with previously.
Moving Truck
Now its time to start packing and preparing to move. Depending on the agreed upon possession date, we can help make sure you are 100% ready prior too.
Key Release
Once we receive key release from the lawyers involved, we will be there with you to do a final walk-through of your new home, make sure its in the condition all parties agreed too, inclusions are still here, all keys we asked for have been left behind for you, (secondary door keys, garage keys, shed keys, mail keys, all of the keys!) We will then facilitate a key hand off to you, the new owners!
POP THE BUBBLY and SAY CHEERS!
We did it. We have successfully helped you buy your home and made the process/experience something to remember. With every successful sale there is always a reason to celebrate. *insert our happy dance here* With every possession with your permission, we like to take a possession day photo for us to remember all the wonderful clients we’ve had the pleasure of working for, and its a nice little keepsake for you, too! #RealHomesOfGPAB
