Buyer’s FAQs

What is the current Market like?

How long does the buying process take?

What additional costs should I expect?

You will have a few costs once you write an offer.

A deposit will be due at the time of the offer, either in a Bank Draft or Electronic Transfer. The amount will depend on the price point of the home, but usally 2 to 5% of the home sale price. This will be held by the sellers agent’s brokerage and totally refundable until you waive all condition. Once all conditions are waived, then the deposit will be forwarded to the lawyers as part of your sale money.

Home Inspection cost can run you somewhere in the area of $500.00

Is a home inspection necessary?

Seller FAQs

How much is my home worth?

What should I do to prepare my home for sale?

Once you agree on the listing price, we get to work with preparing your home. First I will do a walk through and let you know what needs to be done, clutter can be put away, theres a reason show homes look so great, they have no day to day living clutter. Get boxes and clean out closets if they’re full, if buyers think you don’t have enough room, they won’t either. I will guide you through this process and make it easy and painless.

What are the costs involved in selling?

Should I buy or sell first?

If your looking at purchasing a new home, it will depend on whether it’s a sellers or buyers market. If it’s a sellers market and things are selling fast with multiple offers, you will want to discuss this option with your lender. They can recommend some kind of bridging of financing that will allow you to purchase then sell your home. If it’s a buyers market, you can certainly put an offer forward with the condition of sale of your home.
