Finding the right agent
You want to find the right home, in the right location, at the right
price - and you want to do it quickly, with minimum hassle. The best
way to do that is to work with a professional realtor who understands
your wants and needs, your time frame and your financial boundaries.
Why work with an agent?
- You'll save time. An agent can pinpoint homes
that fit your needs and dismiss those that don't.
- You benefit from an experienced negotiator.
Your agent will manage your offers and counter-offers, ensuring that
you get the best possible price for your home.
- You'll get the right information. Your agent
knows the neighbourhood and can give you accurate information on local
real estate values, taxes, utility costs, services and amenities.
- You can always count on great advice. Because
your agent is familiar with the entire home purchasing process, he or
she can advise you of your legal and financial options, and recommend
appraisal, home inspection and contracting services.

Choose
an agent who understands your needs
Here are a few questions to ask to help you determine if an agent is
right for you:
- Will you be representing my interests?
- Do you have access to MLS information?
- Will you provide market evidence to support
the price?
- Will you look after closing and possession
details?
- Can you be contacted at any time?
