Meet The PB Team

It's important to set the stage for a great real estate buying journey with a consultation. This gives us the opportunity to get a thorough and clear understanding of your needs and wants. We also discuss any important factors that should be considered including needs, budget, current value, and future resale value. Whether it's a home, land, or even investment property you're looking for, the consultation is key to getting all the facts and figures determined.

Pre-Approval

This next step is critical to helping you set a realistic budget. Pre-approval helps determine your financial comfort level. It's crucial to plan out not just your down payment, but monthly payments, closing costs, and other costs that are associated with buying a home.

Pre-qualifying Homes

Once we have a clear picture of your budget, it's time to review the options. Our team shortlists homes and provides recommendations based on the criteria discussed during the consultation and subsequent conversations.

Visiting Homes

We schedule appointments based on your availability to visit the homes that we shortlist. The list gets fine-tuned and the options are narrowed down as you visit and view homes that peak your interest with a PB Team member.

Finding Your Home

With each home that you view, the picture gets clearer of what you really like and prefer in your next home. We listen, advise, and recommend, to ensure that you have guidance throughout the selection process.

Professional Advice

When you've found the space that you'd like to call home, our team member evaluates and advises you of the actual market value to ensure you are making an informed decision. It's also important to consider future resale value of the home to ensure that your real estate investment pays off long term.

Offer Process

The offer process requires knowledge and competence. Being veterans in this industry, our skilled negotiators properly represent you one-on-one or in a multiple offer situation. This confirms that the price you pay is not only within your budget but also aligns with the true market value of the home.

Home Inspection

As part of the home buying process, it's important to get a thorough home inspection done to get a deep understanding of the home. Our team member attends the home inspection with you to ensure your understanding of the information presented by the inspector.

Buyer's Visits

It's time to start making your new house your home. Our team coordinates schedules between you and the current property owner so that we can visit your new home and do walkthroughs to help you plan any changes, design options, and furniture placement, as well as gain familiarity of your new home.

Closing

It's time to close on your home. Our team members make sure that your lawyer and mortgagor have all the necessary documentation. We are with you every step of the way, helping you stay relaxed throughout the entire closing process and ensuring a smooth transaction from start to finish.

Needs versus Wants
While everyone is looking for the biggest bang for their buck, it's important to differentiate between your needs and wants. This can be tricky as wants can easily disguise themselves as needs. That's where we come in. We help you decipher the difference between the two to ensure that you get value for your money on your first home and don't lose out on any good opportunities. We assure that the home you decide on ticks all your boxes and meets your lifestyle, familial, work, and other expectations. Once your needs and wants are prioritized, we can focus on the must-haves in your first home and put you in the space that best suits you for the long term.

Pre-approvals
The financial aspect of buying a home is one of the big steps that must be thought out. It means sitting down with a mortgage specialist and ascertaining where you stand from a financial perspective. Going one step further, it's important to determine what you're comfortable with in terms of budget in order to cover the down payment, carrying and closing costs. We can help you set a realistic number once we have the facts and figures so that you're truly happy with your new investment.

As a first time home buyer, you can benefit from certain rebates and we ensure that you're familiar with them and take advantage of these to help you get all the financial assistance you can when buying your new home.

Projecting improvements
During the home selection process, our real estate team guides you on the potential a home can offer to meet your needs. Sometimes it is hard to have the vision of what each home can offer. We use our extensive experience to help paint a picture. We love sharing ideas of fixes to really make the space work for you and your family within your budget.

Resale Potential
This may be your first home but it may not be your last. Our real estate team takes our role as advisors seriously. We evaluate a home to make sure that it's a good fit for you and your current needs, but we also consider the resale potential of the house should you choose to sell this home in the future. This may be your biggest investment, and we want it to pay off. Our extensive experience makes us the best real estate team for you when buying your first home.
