BUYING
How a Vancouver purchase actually runs, start to finish. No jargon, no surprises about who pays for what.
FINANCING FIRST
A real pre-approval, not a rate quote. It sets your ceiling and it is what makes your offer credible when two others land the same night.
SET THE PARAMETERS
Sectors, property type, must-haves and the things you would trade away. We narrow it here so the search stays short.
RUN THE SEARCH
Live MLS® data, filtered to your parameters, plus the listings I hear about before they hit the board.
VIEW, AND RULE THINGS OUT
Most viewings are a no. That is the process working. I will tell you what I would walk away from and why.
THE OFFER
Price, conditions, dates and deposit are all negotiable, and they trade against each other. This is where the leverage is.
CONDITIONS AND CLOSING
Inspection, financing, documents. I keep the dates on the calendar so nothing lapses while you are living your life.
WHAT DOES IT COST YOU?
On a purchase, the seller’s side generally pays the commission — so my work costs you nothing directly. What you do budget for is the deposit, land transfer tax, legal fees, an inspection, and moving. I will put real numbers against those for your price range before you make an offer, not after.
