First home, next home or next investment property, the way you start your search and the way you get represented make all the difference. And if you need to sell your current place to buy the next one, I handle both sides so the timing works. Here is how to do it right.
My honest recommendation is to search on REALTOR.ca. It has access to every single listing in Ontario that is publicly listed on MLS, and it is by far the best and smoothest platform to search on. Set up your saved searches there and browse to your heart's content.
When a listing catches your eye, do not fill out the form on some listing website. Send it to me instead. I will book the appointment, walk through the property privately with you, and represent you properly on the buying side from first showing to final signature.
This is one of the most misunderstood parts of real estate, and it costs buyers real money.
The listing agent has been hired by the seller to represent the seller. Their job is to get the seller the highest price and the best terms. That is exactly what they should be doing, and it means they are not there to represent you.
When I represent you as a buyer, my only job is protecting your interests. Pricing guidance, property concerns, negotiation strategy, conditions that protect you. You get an advocate, not a middleman.
In most transactions, the cooperating agent who brings the buyer is compensated through the transaction. So there is rarely a good reason to walk into the biggest purchase of your life without someone in your corner.
This is one of my favourite parts of the job. I help first time and repeat buyers all across this region find the right home, understand every step and buy with confidence.
The easiest way to get a hold of me is WhatsApp. Send me the listing and I will set up the showing and take it from there. You can also email [email protected].
