STEP 1 - GET PRE-APPROVED

Schedule an appointment with your bank and go through the process of getting pre-approved. Your bank advisor will be able to tell you your purchase budget and breakdown monthly mortgage costs for you. This will help you during your search process.

Select a realtor that fits your needs.

STEP 2 - Find A Realtor

Buying a home is one of the largest financial transactions you will make in your life. It's important to take the time to find a realtor that suits your needs. Find a realtor that you can trust and feel comfortable asking questions to and that is willing to work in your best interest.

STEP 3 - KNOW YOUR SEARCH CRITERIA

Prior to starting your house search, it's important to establish a list of criteria for yourself (and with your partner) as this will help you narrow down the houses that suit what you looking for. Some important search criteria include; your comfortable price range, the number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, size of kitchen, overall home size, neighbourhood, proximity to work, schools and amenities. It's also important to differentiate between "needs", "wants" and "wishes".
