Real World Tips for Buyers
The way I see it, there’s no universal formula for finding your dream home. And it won’t be because a house is the perfect color or size. It’s going to be about that instant feeling you get as you step in. When it feels “right” and you can imagine your future there, well, that’s the perfect home for you.
Let’s find your dream home
With home visits or “viewing”, it’s vital to look beyond the staging and decorative items to see the true features and fixtures of each property. Together, we’ll check each one inside and out … and I’ll keep track of everything for you with photos and notes.
- During our first meeting, you’ll share your master wish list so we are always focussed on what’s most important to you (neighborhood, yard space, condition, proximity to schools / shopping / nature, etc).
- I’ll share a personalised list of properties I think you’ll love that you can view online first, to save you time. Anything that doesn’t seem right, we won’t visit.
- We’ll stay within your price range and carry a pre-approval letter from your lender so that sellers take you seriously when you make an offer.

You found your dream home, now what?
When you’re ready to make that offer, I’ll generate the necessary documentation quickly and in compliance with all state and local compliance laws. Your offer will include these basics:
- Price you are offering.
- The terms, such as sharing closing costs or that your offer is contingent on the home inspection & purchase of a warranty.
- Requested closing date.
- The “earnest deposit” you are agreeing to make.
- Request for a final walk-through before taking possession.

As soon as your offer is accepted, it’s home inspection time!
The home inspection generates your most powerful decision-making tool: a report that identifies actual & future maintenance issues. From the reporting, you can either walk away from the offer OR ask for repairs from the seller. Here’s what’s included in the report:
- Condition of the foundation, beams, floors & roof.
- System analysis of the heating and AC.
- State of the appliances, plumbing, and all aspects of the electrical systems.
- Safety issues like mold and the structural integrity of the chimney & stairs.

Negotiate a home warranty into your offer
If you’re buying a home or apartment with appliances that are 4 or more years old, a home warranty can protect you from unexpected repair costs, especially if you’re a 1st-time buyer with limited savings (this can really give you peace of mind and save you!). On the other side, if you’re buying a new home or apartment, defects will be under warranty – generally for 10 years, with smaller items typically covered for six months to two years), so in that case you won’t need one.

Time to get the keys to your dream home
The closing is everything you’ve been waiting for and as the buyer you will choose the title company that will facilitate the closing! Plan on spending a few hours at this meeting, as you’ll be signing a slew of documents, including:
- A Promissory Note to repay the mortgage.
- The Deed of Trust (giving the lender the right to foreclose if the loan isn’t repaid).
- An Escrow Disclosure (funds on deposit for property taxes & homeowner’s insurance).
- The Right to Cancel form (giving you 3 days to null the contract).
