For Home Buyers: When Buying a Home
One might consider various options when purchasing Vancouver real estate.
Here are a few steps to guide you:
- Determine your budget: Determine how much you can comfortably spend on a home. Assess your income, expenses, and savings to establish a realistic budget.
- Get pre-approved for a mortgage: If you’re not paying in cash or by cheque, you can get pre-approved. Meet with a lender to assess your creditworthiness and determine the borrowing amount available to you.
- Find and hire a real estate agent: The next step is to locate a real estate agent with expertise in Vancouver. Our team can assist you in identifying properties that match your criteria and provide guidance throughout the buying process.
- Search for homes: Collaborating with one of our real estate agents, you can start searching for homes that align with your requirements and budget. We’ll schedule viewings and help you evaluate potential properties.
- Make an offer: When you find a home you like, we’ll help you make an offer to the seller. Your offer will specify the purchase price, any contingencies, and a proposed closing date.
- Complete the inspection and appraisal: After your offer is accepted, it’s essential to complete a home inspection and assessment to ensure the property is in good condition and justifies the price you’re paying.
- Close the sale: The final step involves closing the sale, which includes signing necessary documents and transferring ownership of the property. This typically occurs at a lawyer’s office and involves payment of closing costs and applicable taxes.
