Here are some of the steps I will take to find your perfect home:

Determine Your Wants and Needs
This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions I will establish what exactly you are looking for. My goal is to not waste your time by looking at properties that are not in your price range or homes that don't meet you needs. Through-out the buying process I will maintain your confidentiality and represent your best interests.

Help You Get Pre-Qualified
This step will show you how much you can afford.  This is accomplished by speaking with your financial institution or broker and establishing what monthly payments you will be comfortable with.

Home Shopping
I will use every available method to locate a property that matches your search parameters.  This will include properties listed with my office, listed through the vast Toronto Real Estate Board's Multiple Listing System, as well as unlisted properties.  I will disclose all known facts about the property that is likely to affect your decision. When I find the home that meets your criteria, I will prepare and assist you in writing an offer, and negotiate for you, the purchase of your new home.
