Clarify financing before property shopping

A pre-approval conversation helps frame budget, deposit, closing costs, monthly payment, and property type. It also helps avoid falling in love with homes that do not fit the numbers.

First-time buyers should understand land transfer tax, legal fees, adjustments, inspection costs, status certificate review, insurance, and moving costs.

Learn the offer process early

Offers can include price, deposit, closing date, inclusions, exclusions, conditions, and other terms. The right structure depends on the property and competition.

A buyer consultation before active showings can make the later decisions calmer and faster.
