We understand buying a home is a big step, and we’re here to make it easier for you. We touch on how our team can help you find the perfect home, with six simple steps on how we step you through the journey.

Step One

 

 

In this initial step, we’ll sit down to understand your unique needs and desires. We’ll discuss the type of home you’re looking for, including the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, preferred neighborhood, and any specific features you would love. We’ll also talk about your budget, financing options, and any pre-approvals you might need. It’s an opportunity for you to ask any questions and for us to explain how the process will unfold. Remember, this service from us comes at no cost to you.

 

Finance Pre-approved

We need to make sure your finance has been pre-approved.

 

Step Two

 

 

With a clear understanding of your requirements and budget, we dive into the search for your dream home. We will curate a list of properties that match your criteria and send them to you for review, we also have access to other agencies properties and can communicate with them on your behalf. Based on your preferences, we can arrange for you to attend open homes or schedule private viewings, offering you a more personalized experience. During this phase, we will provide insights on each property and neighbourhood, helping you make informed decisions. We stay in close contact, ensuring we are on the same page and adjusting our search as needed.

 

Step Three

 

 

Once we’ve found the ideal home, it’s time to move forward with an offer. We will handle the preparation and submission of all necessary contracts, ensuring all legal aspects are covered. Our expertise in negotiation comes into play here, as we strive to secure the best possible terms for you. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process, explaining each part of the contract and making sure you understand your rights and obligations. Our goal is to make this step as smooth and stress-free as possible.

 

Step Four

 

 

Your offer has been accepted, but there are still conditions to be met before the sale is final. This conditional period can include tasks such as arranging a home inspection, securing financing, and conducting any necessary valuations. We will coordinate with all parties involved, including mortgage brokers, inspectors, and valuers, to ensure everything proceeds smoothly. We’ll be there to answer any questions you might have and provide guidance on any issues that arise. Our aim is to help you satisfy all conditions efficiently and effectively.

 

Step Five

 

 

Congratulations, your offer has gone unconditional! This means all conditions have been met, and you are officially a homeowner. At this stage, the deposit is paid, and we arrange for a pre-settlement inspection to ensure everything is in order with the property. We’ll also guide you through any final preparations needed before settlement. This is an exciting milestone, and we make sure you are fully prepared for the transition to homeownership.

 

Step Six

 

 

Settlement day has arrived! This is when the final payment is made, and ownership of the property is transferred to you. We will hand over the keys, marking the beginning of your new life in your new home. Our involvement doesn’t end here; we are available for any post-settlement support you might need, whether it’s recommendations for local services or advice on settling into your new community. We’re here to ensure your home buying journey concludes on a high note, leaving you confident and excited about your new home.
