BUYING A HOME?

For most people, buying a home is the largest investment they will make. There are many details to remember. As your buyers’ representative, Sheila’s most important role is to ensure your best interests are protected. Finding your next home can be a challenge and requires expertise in many areas! Sheila stays completely up to date on all the resources and technologies that are available today to assist you in locating the homes that match your specifications.

Purchasing a home can be complicated and time consuming. It is important to start the process with a 'strategy' meeting in order to get to know one another and to set up a game plan for your purchase journey. Before you begin your search, it is important for Sheila to completely understand your particular needs and desires. It is also very important for her to know the price range you are comfortable looking in. When determining your financing qualifications, a lender will look at a number of factors including your gross income, your debt, your yearly taxes, heating costs and other costs associated with the purchase of a home. From this information, lenders are able to determine how much you can reasonably spend on a new home. (Don't forget to allow for the occasional evening out when calculating your budget...)

Sheila is always available to answer your buying or selling questions and we look forward to creating a personalized plan to guide you through your first or subsequent venture in the Greater Vancouver Real Estate market.
