Looking to Buy A House, I Can Help and My Services Are Free
Patrick Noor – Real Estate Agent
The Search Process
Buy a house with the right Realtor. I am based in Bowmanville with office in Oshawa and service all of Greater Toronto Area, Durham, Northumberland and Peterborough.
The right real estate agent can make the process to buy a house very smooth. Without the right real estate agent it can be a nightmare.
Finding and buying the ideal house can be a dream come true.
However, getting to that point can be a nightmare unless you have the right Real Estate Agent working with you throughout the buying process. As your Realtor, I ensure that I will do two important things for you:
- Help you buy a house that matches your requirements;
- Make the process simple and easy.
My Job
I am a Real Estate Agent based in Bowmanville with office in Oshawa and I service Greater Toronto Area, Durham, Northumberland and Peterborough.
How do I work with clients?
To begin, I take the time to learn what you really want in a home. I look at your needs and desires, and help you determine the price range within which you should shop. Then I show you properties that meet that criteria – including new listings the moment they come on the market.
As your Realtor agent, I’m by your side every step of the way.
Viewing Homes
The Process
As your real estate agent, my most important job is to make the home shopping process pleasant and rewarding for you.
I regularly recommend properties for viewing that closely match your needs and wants, and are within your price range.
As your Realtor, I make sure you don’t miss opportunities.
Since I am based in Bowmanville with office in Oshawa, All surrounding areas are within 30-45 minutes drive for me.
I schedule viewings that fit your schedule.
Before you view a property, I provide you with in-depth details on the home, so you can make an informed decision.
As your Realtor, I also give you the scoop on the neighbourhood.
When you find a property you like, I give you my honest, professional recommendation as to how well the home meets your needs and wants.
As your real estate agent, I’m committed to getting you into the right home, and I’m with you every step of the way.
Viewing a house
Here are a few questions and ideas to consider when viewing homes:
- Does the home meet your “needs”?
- Does the home have any of your “wants” features (For example, large backyard deck, etc.)
- What is the general condition of the home?
- Will the home need any major repairs, remodeling or renovations?
- What do you like most about the home?
- Is there anything about the home you don’t like?
- Take a walk around the neighbourhood. Are the homes well-kept, indicating pride of ownership?
- Do you like where the home is situated in the neighbourhood?
- Does the neighbourhood have what you want? (For example, access to public transit, shopping, local parks, etc.)
Closing The Sale
Just because the purchase has been made doesn’t mean my work as a Realtor for you stops. On the contrary. There are a myriad of other things I’ll do to ensure the process goes smoothly.
For example, I’ll take care of many of the administrative details on your behalf. I’ll work with the seller’s agent, your lawyer, and your mortgage lender to ensure that all the necessary paperwork has been completed and submitted.
Preparing The Offer
The first step is preparing the Offer. This is the document I present to the seller that basically states the price you’re offering, as well as any conditions.
The price we go in with is critical. You want it to reflect the true market value of the property so the seller will take your offer seriously. On the other hand, you don’t want to go in too high and risk overpaying for the home.
As your real estate agent, it is my job to help you with the valuation of the home.
Don’t worry. I know how to prepare a winning offer and get you the property at the lowest possible price.
How The Process Works
When you decide to make an offer on a home, here’s what typically happens:
- I’ll recommend a price based on comparable homes that has the best chance of being accepted by the seller
- Obviously, sellers prefer offers that have no conditions. However, I may suggest a condition, such as passing a professional home inspection, be included for your protection.
- I’ll prepare the necessary documents and present your offer to the seller.
- If the offer isn’t accepted, or if the seller makes a counter-offer, as your Realtor I’ll work with the seller’s agent, negotiating on your behalf.
- I’ll communicate with you throughout the entire process.
- Once the seller agrees to a deal, I’ll help lead you through removal of any conditions and closing the deal.
Mortgage Pre-approval
An important ingredient in a successful home search is knowing how much you can afford.
That’s why I recommend getting a Mortgage Pre-Approval. There are two advantages to getting this pre-approval:
- It gives you the peace-of-mind of knowing you can afford homes you view on the market.
- It’s a sign to sellers that you are a serious, prepared buyer.
You can arrange for a Mortgage Pre-Approval with your bank or other lenders.
As your Realtor if you want me to recommend a reputable broker or lender, please let me know.
How Much Home Can You Afford?
Banks and lenders use specific criteria to determine how much of a mortgage they’re willing to offer you. They look at your income, expenses, credit history and employment status, as well as the down payment you plan to make on a home.
By knowing what you can afford, you can confidently shop within that price range.
Your Realtor
If you’re planning on buying a home, you may have already done some shopping around on your own.
Yes, you can do all of that on your own, if you have the time and expertise. However, statistics prove that you’ll be more successful in finding your dream home at the right price with your own personal real estate agent.
Your Real Estate Agent Works For You
As real estate agent, I can help you find and buy your ideal home, quickly, and make the entire process go smoothly for you.
During a viewing, as your Realtor I will give you the inside scoop on that property, so you know the full story.
I will also point out desirable features, and potential “issues”, that you might otherwise miss.
When it comes time to make an offer, as your Realtor I will present and negotiate it on your behalf.
Bottom line: Your real estate agent is there for you, every step of the way.
