YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE READY YET.
Some of my buyers start talking to me months before they ever step inside a home. I'm happy to answer questions, help you understand the process and set you up with listings that match what you're looking for.
When the time comes, you'll already have a plan.
01 | KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
Before falling in love with a home, get a general idea of what you're comfortable spending. Consider your down payment, monthly mortgage payment, property taxes, utilities and other homeownership costs.
02 | TALK TO A MORTGAGE PROFESSIONAL
You don't necessarily need to be ready to make an offer to start the conversation. A mortgage professional can help you understand what you may qualify for, what documents you'll need and whether there are steps you can take now to put yourself in a stronger position later.
03 | START EXPLORING FORT MCMURRAY
Timberlea? Thickwood? Wood Buffalo? Parsons Creek?
Start paying attention to which neighbourhoods, home styles and price points appeal to you. Browsing now helps you recognize a great fit when you're eventually ready to buy.
04 | REACH OUT TO AN AGENT THAT KNOWS THE MARKET
You don't have to be ready to buy before reaching out to a real estate agent. Connecting early with someone who knows the local market can help you understand neighbourhoods, pricing, current market conditions and what to expect within your budget.
A good agent can help you prepare now, so when the right home comes along, you're ready to make your move.
