Working with a Realtor

If you’ve found yourself here, then you’ve probably been asking yourself how you can make your time with a realtor the most effective. Here’s a list of the top tips to make your time buying a property as easy as possible!

• Tip #1: Create a list of your property must-haves!

  Make sure your list is in order of importance and be prepared to knock a couple items off. The perfect place has personality, so not every item on your must-have list will make the cut, but you get to be the judge.  

• Tip #2: What kind of community do your want to live in?

  Let your realtor know what kind of community you are looking for. Are you someone who wants to be in the action or are you looking for a quiet street near a school. Whether you want to be near secret hiking spots, or just off a busy hub, your realtor can help you find the best fit. 

• Tip #3: What are your transportation needs?

  Do you want to be near public transit, or are you comfortable getting around in a car? Would you like to be in a pedestrian-friendly area, or are you looking for the best bike routes? 

• Tip #4: Do you know the type of home you want?

  What kind of home are you looking for? A single family detached home with a private backyard for BBQ’s, an apartment with an indoor pool, or perhaps something in between. Whatever your needs, a realtor can help! 

I know that you will find the right home, whether it be in the city, or in a rural setting, on the top floor of an apartment building, or beside a park, the perfect home is waiting for you!
