The Buying Process

The first step is to determine how much you can afford. The best way to do this is to become pre-qualified for a mortgage through your bank or mortgage broker. This vital first step will save you a great deal of time by focusing your search on properties that are within your financial scope.

After pre-qualification comes the fun part: looking at homes. We’ll find some homes that fit your needs and desires, schedule viewings, and visit them, making sure to iterate towards “the perfect property” as we go.
