Buying
a Home
First-Time
Buyer
Are you a first-time
buyer? The property you are about to purchase is probably the largest single
purchase, and biggest investment decision, you will ever make. Let me help
you through the task of different lender options, mortgage documentation,
and terminology you are dealing with as you go through this process.
I will provide
a mortgage pre-approval, which helps determine what you can afford and
strengthens your position when negotiating the purchase price of your home.

Would you like
to know what you can afford? Use my Home
Budget Calculator to do that.
With electronic
access to over 50 lenders we will ensure that you receive the best rate
and product of your choice.
Repeat Buyer
As a
repeat buyer, you need to know what your options are. With a changing mortgage
marketplace, you need to be kept up to date so that you can make a decision
that is tailored to your current situation with the flexibility that you
require.
New Immigrant?
As long
as you have a valid work visa or confirmation of application for Permanent
Residency, full-time employment, credit references from your home country
and down payment from your own resources, you may qualify for home ownership
sooner than you think.
Self-Employed?
I can
get you a mortgage that suits your needs in most situations, at a competitive
rate.

Vacation
Properties
Whether
your preference is a lakeside cabin or a resort condominium I can help
with the necessary financing plan to meet your needs.
The process
involves an interview to establish the type of property you are looking
to buy, what your financial obligations are currently and sending you off
to purchase with a clear picture of what you're able to afford. |
