We created a comprehensive guide covering the basics of buying a home, financing options, with tips for first-time buyers.
CALGARY | FIRST TIME BUYER INFORMATION
Buying a home for the first-home buyer may seem like an incredibly complex task. But with experienced professionals guiding you - it will be a lot easier.
The first step for the first-time buyer is to have a good team picked, we can help you there - click on the links below.
1) Trusted Real Estate Adviser
CHOOSE A TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS
These professionals will be your chosen team throughout the home buying process.
Next, it is important to figure out what you can afford. If you buy a home which will require you to pay mortgage payments which are in excess of a third of your income, you will have difficulty in keeping up with the mortgage payments. You will also need to look at property taxes, maintenance expenses, etc.
While you are considering making your offer to purchase, we will provide information to show you what recent homes sold for in the area(s) of interest. This will give you a good idea regarding what is a reasonable offer. Most offers will have (but not limited to) a Home Inspection and Mortgage condition period, and only when you are comfortable will the conditions be waived.
YOUR REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT
A quality home in Calgary is an investment that will not only be a great place for you and your family to live, but will also give you no reason to worry about issues like frequent repairs. We always go through everything with our clients and our golden rule is "No Surprise’s" everything is covered.
