Find your place in Nova Scotia
Whether it's your first home or your fifth, I'll help you find the right one, understand what it's worth and win it on terms you're comfortable with.
From first call to keys
Every purchase is different, but most follow these six steps. I'll walk you through each one.
A call or coffee to talk about what you need, where you want to live and what you want to spend.
A mortgage pre-approval tells you your real budget and shows sellers you're serious. I can connect you with lenders I trust.
I set up searches that match your list, book viewings and tell you honestly what I see in each home.
We look at comparable sales together, decide on price and conditions, and I negotiate on your behalf.
Home inspection, financing and anything else in your offer. I coordinate the people and the deadlines.
Your lawyer handles the paperwork and the funds. I make sure nothing slips, and then you get your keys.
Buying in the HRM
Budget for legal fees, an inspection and Halifax's deed transfer tax on top of your down payment. I'll help you estimate the total before you offer.
Federal programs can help first-time buyers with a down payment. Ask me and your lender which ones apply to you.
Some homes draw several offers. We'll decide ahead of time how far you're willing to go, so you never feel rushed.
