Buying With Me

No pressure, no unanswered questions, and no missing out on the home of your dreams. Doesn’t that sound like the ideal buying process?

With me, it’s possible! I believe that buying a house should be an enjoyable, educational experience that guides you towards a confident and smart real estate investment.

So why should you choose me?

With me, the buying process doesn’t just feel like a typical transaction; I make sure that you really enjoy this exciting and rewarding time in your life! Think of me as a friend–with years of experience in the real estate industry–who can take away the stressful aspects of buying a home and make it as smooth as possible.

 

My Background

Need a real estate agent who knows the up-and-coming neighbourhoods? What about someone with over a decade of experience helping buyers find a home they love in Edmonton? As a second-generation REALTOR®, I have the local insight and expertise to help you navigate the buying process with ease.

 

My Approach

Always available, always there for you. I take a personable approach to real estate, which means that I put your needs and success above all else. Whether it’s taking phone calls from lawyers or coordinating the cleaning, inspections, financing and repairs. I’ll do everything I can to make this a less stressful time for you. I don’t put a time limit on the house hunt; you’ll never feel pressured or rushed to settle for a house that you don’t absolutely love.

 

My Process


Whether it’s at a coffee shop, your current place, or the office, our first meeting will be a casual get together. We’ll take this time to get to know each other before talking business to see how compatible we are. After all, buying a home is a huge decision! So we need to make sure we’re a good fit.


One of the most important steps to buying a house is getting pre-qualified for a mortgage. I can recommend a reputable mortgage professional for you to work with if you aren’t already connected with one. They’ll help you establish a budget and determine what type of mortgage works best for you.


Now to create your wish list! Deciding what you want in a house before we start looking will create a streamlined process that helps us narrow in on a home quickly. What are your must-haves? Are there any deal breakers? Do you have a specific neighbourhood or school district you’d like to be in? If you’re unfamiliar with the area or aren’t sure what you need in your next home, I’ll help you figure it all out.


I’ll provide you with a structured home search that ensures you only see homes that match your wish list items. Instead of sending you an overwhelming amount of listings that aren’t what you want, I’ll browse through what’s currently available and hand-pick homes that you’ll actually love. I’ll send them over to you right away and set you up to receive even more of the best local listings as soon as they hit the market.


Once a home catches your eye, we’ll go see it together in-person. I know what a smart investment looks like, and can point out potential problems, features, or details of a home that might be missed. We’ll not only look at the home itself, but also the neighbourhood and local amenities to make sure that it’s the right fit.


When you’re ready to make an offer, you want to go in with a strong price that aligns with the condition of the home and the neighbourhood. I’ll ensure that you get a good deal by researching comparative properties and the home itself to confirm what the purchase price should be. We’ll also go over what conditions and inclusions you’d like to have in the offer. With years of experience under my belt, I will strategically negotiate on your behalf to get you the right home for the right price!


Once we reach a deal with the seller’s agent, you’ll meet with your lawyer to close the deal. They will oversee the closing process and ensure that all conditions are met and all contracts are completed correctly. If you don’t have a lawyer, let me know and I can recommend one for you.


Our real estate relationship will continue long after closing day. Once you’ve purchased your home, you’ll automatically be enrolled in my Friends with Benefits program. You’ll receive yearly home value updates, help with tax assessments, and invitations to client events. Most importantly, you’ll have access to free services for seasonal yard clean-ups, eaves trough cleaning, junk removal, landscaping, and handyman help.
