HOW IT WORKS
Preparation Phase
Decide on a Home
Make an offer on a home with your agent, set a deposit, negotiate terms, and complete due diligence like inspections and financing. Is there are conditions, the property is conditionally sold. Once conditions are lifted, the home is almost yours.
Closing
Once all conditions are met and the deposit is submitted, the deal becomes firm. Legal steps begin to transfer the property to your name. Your lawyer finalizes the title transfer and mortgage. You secure insurance, complete final walk-through, and take possession. Welcome to homeownership!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Know Your Budget: What Can You Really Afford?
Knowing what you can realistically afford helps set clear expectations and ensures your energy is focused on homes that truly fit your lifestyle.
Remember, the cost of homeownership goes beyond the mortgage: property taxes, insurance, utilities, and ongoing maintenance all play a role. Being honest about what you’re comfortable spending each month gives you more freedom and flexibility down the road.
