WHO YOU HIRE MATTERS!
Make sure you find yourself a good and reliable realtor in Sarnia to help you handle the biggest investment of your life. A good realtor will help keep the process organized, swift and keep you fully informed along the way! Hire someone with extensive knowledge of the local market, who can get you the home you deserve.
GET PRE-APPROVED
This step is SUPER important. It's like when you’re shopping and you find a piece of clothing that you LOVE and you try it on before looking at the price just to realize it is WAY out of your price range…
This is the same deal! Make sure you get pre-approved as soon as possible so you know what you can afford. Don’t assume! Head to your bank or visit a mortgage broker to know your budget before you start looking.
DISCUSS YOUR WANTS & NEEDS WITH YOUR REALTOR
Sit down with your realtor and make a wish list. Discuss what you’re looking for in a home to narrow down your search! Before you meet with your realtor, write down any questions you have so you don't forget to ask them during your meeting... they're there to give you professional advice and make the process and simple as possible, don't be afraid to ask away!
OFFER TIME!
Make an offer! Don’t wait until it’s too late. Your realtor will be able to give you their professional opinion to help you make an offer on your dream home. If you found “the one” be sure to act fast to seal the deal as some houses are only on the market for less than a week!
GET A HOME INSPECTION
Don’t wait to be surprised after the fact- seek out a professional to look over the house and make sure there are no issues!
MOVING TIME!
Don’t wait until moving day to cross your T’s and dot your I’s. Be prepared! Arrange your internet, mailing address, gas, hydro, etc. ahead of time to leave the stress out of the picture!
Home buying is one of the most exciting times! ENJOY THE PROCESS! Make sure you are getting what you want for a price that reflects your needs!
