01 Pre-Approval

Determine your maximum loan amount so that you can pick a feasible purchase price! Then obtain a 90 to 120 day rate hold!

05 Subject Removal

Ensure you are comfortable with your mortgage financing, home inspection, purchase price, and terms and conditions of all contracts. Once you remove subjects you are legally bound to the purchase contract. This is when you should have your deposit cheque ready!

02 House Hunting

Once you have found a feasible purchase price, now is the time to work with your Realtor! Visit open houses and have your realtor book your showings. Once you've found the home of your dreams, have your realtor write up the offer to the sellers.
