Congratulations on taking your first steps to buying your new home in Edmonton!! We love helping buyers!
You’re excited and want to make sure you are making the right decision. That is what we live for. We know you have many questions, and we are here to help, with our Targeted Buying Strategy.
After helping hundreds of Edmonton home buyers over the last 15 years, we have developed a specific strategy to protect your money, time, and sanity.
Our Targeted Buying Strategy enables our buyers to have:
- more negotiating power
- shorter timelines
- less stress
- no wasted time or energy
Here are a couple quick things you need to do to get ready:
Reach Out and Say Hello!
What? Shouldn’t we meet a mortgage broker first? Isn’t that the first step? Well, we’re here to tell you that just like realtors, not all lenders are made alike! We want to ensure you are working with the BEST of the best! We are happy to answer your questions and build your strategy with our team of top experts, so you can leapfrog the guessing game and common mistakes that most buyers make!
Buyer Consultation
This is where we walk you through our Targeted Buying Strategy, explain the steps of purchasing, and answer any questions you have. Knowledge builds confidence, and we want our buyers to be rock solid when it comes to your options, finances, and timeline. Send us a quick email to book your consultation today!
Finance Appointment
One of the most important keys to our Targeted Buying Strategy is that you don’t waste your time, AND are the most prepared, most qualified local buyers. That means you have more negotiating power, shorter timelines, and less stress than other buyers out there. Doesn’t that sound great? Following our strategy means you take the time to get fully qualified and prepared before you write your offer.
Shopping
Have you heard of nightmare stories of buyers seeing 30, 40, 50, or more houses before they make a decision? Yikes. Decision fatigue is very real, and you do not want to buy out of defeat or feeling like your time has run out and you have to make a decision. No thanks! A huge part of our strategy is making sure we are seeing properties that are real possibilities, and you’re not wasting your valuable time and energy. This makes our buyers stay clear-headed, and keep their energy for negotiations!
Choosing the Best House
We love hearing from our clients, “wow that was so easy!” The reality is that we are like ducks on the water, smooth and even, and paddling at high speed below the surface! Hundreds of sales and years of experience have taught us what you can’t learn online! We know which greater Edmonton neighbourhoods are most prone to flooding, foundation issues, what builders or years had challenges, and especially, we have inspection partners who do their best to protect our clients too. Yes, partners. Because we often recommend more than just a conventional home inspection. We have likely sold a home, probably dozens of homes, similar to the one you want, and want to be sure you have the whole picture.
Negotiations
It is sink or swim time when you are negotiating your offer, and having experienced professionals makes all the difference. We know how to win, and most importantly, how to create a collaborative, smooth purchase process. We have developed the reputation over years and years in the industry of representing qualified, educated, and serious buyers. That goes a long way when getting the price, terms, and conditions that you want. We often hear that agents guide their sellers to choose our offer even when the offer price was lower than competing offers because they know we are serious about getting the job done.
Closing
Congratulations, you are almost at the finish line! We have systems in place for each step of the way, along with reminders and extra checks in place to confirm your lawyer has our set of documents as early as possible. The Targeted Buying Strategy means we have likely even talked about potential issues and structured solutions before they even show up.
Our Philosophy
Last but not least, we want you to know that we care about you. We want you to love your new home, be proud of where you live, and to know how to take care of it.
We pride ourselves on educating our clients to see the big picture. We don’t gloss over the details, even if that means talking our clients out of buying properties sometimes!
We’re not magicians, but we work hard to make your buying process as magical as possible!
When you’re ready, we’re here for you!
