Buying a home in Toronto and the GTA

We talk through what you need, where, and why: space, commute, schools, and how long you plan to stay.

What would make you regret this purchase in five years?

We work out a comfortable monthly cost including taxes, fees and closing costs. I'll suggest speaking with a mortgage professional early so your budget rests on a real pre-approval.

Is your pre-approval rate held, and for how long?

Before touring, you'll see what recent sales look like in the areas you're considering: price ranges, how quickly homes sell, and what that means for timing.

You get listings matched to your criteria, including new ones as they appear. Fewer, better-fitting homes beat long lists of maybes.

For each serious contender we review comparable sales, condition, likely repair costs and, for condos, the status certificate and reserve fund. I'll tell you what I see, good and bad.

What would this home cost to own and maintain each month?

We decide on price, deposit, conditions and closing date for this home and this level of competition, including how to handle an offer date or multiple offers.

I negotiate on your behalf within limits we've agreed on together. Terms and timelines can matter as much as the price.

I work with your lawyer, lender, inspector and the other agent to keep conditions, deadlines and paperwork on track, and stay in touch after you move in.
