Buying Real Estate: An Overview

"I believe in the value of real estate. I believe owning real estate is the foundation to building long term wealth and should be the goal of everyone who has yet to be afforded the opportunity to be a home owner." - David Reimers


Whether you are buying your first home or your third, a retirement home, or an investment property, we will do our very best to make your home buying experience a successful one.

THE HOME BUYING PROCESS

We'll start by helping you choose the right real estate agent. We're a little biased on this one, but for good reason and we'll explain why. We'll assist you with financing by connecting you with the best mortgage brokers in town. We'll also create an in-depth "needs and wants analysis" to determine what your perfect home looks and feels like, and where to find it. Once we've found your perfect home, we'll guide you through the offer process right through to completion, when you become the owner.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you're thinking about buying real estate you'll likely have a few questions. We've listed a few common questions to help you. If we haven't answered your question already please don't hesitate to ask!

Things to consider before buying a new home

Buyers often do not realise that when you purchase directly from a developer you have no agency representation. This means no one is looking out for your best interests. The Developer's purchase agreement is typically very one sided in favour of the developer. See things to consider before buying a new home for more info.
"David made the process very easy, listened to what we wanted and always made sure we were comfortable with all the decisions we made. It was such a pleasure having David as our realtor. I would definitely recommend David when buying or selling a home!" ~ A. Heiland
