It’s best to develop a plan as you embark on the path to homeownership. By following the steps below, the home buying process will be less stressful and will save you time in the long run.
Things to Consider
Determine How Much Home You Can Afford
Knowing how much home you can afford will help you narrow your home search and saves time. Using our Mortgage Calculator will help give you a general idea of how much home you can afford.
Meet With A Lender
A lender will help determine your buying power and can Pre-Approve or Pre-Qualify you for a home loan.
Find Your Home
Think about what you want in home. What amenities are important to you? Where do you want to live? What about schools? All of these questions and more will play a big part in your homebuying decision.
Prepare An Offer
Once you find the home you want, you and your Pickering agent will determine a reasonable offer that will be presented to the seller. If accepted, you will need to put down a deposit.
Due Diligence
Your Pickering agent will make sure you understand all information presented in this portion of the process and will guide you through the entire Due Diligence phase.
Get Moving!
The final step is the official transfer of ownership from the seller to buyer. You are now a new homeowner!
