Buying a Home

Buying a Home on Vancouver Island

There are 6 Steps to owning a home on Vancouver Island:

Select a Sales Professional that meets your needs.
Make an appointment with a lender for pre-approval and rate guarantee.
Look for a home with your REALTOR
Prepare and negotiate an acceptable offer.
Fulfill all conditions.
Perpare for closing.

The central Island is made up of several different communities each with its own unique characteristics. I am based in Nanaimo and specialize in Nanaimo homes but have a great knowledge of all of central Vancouver Island housing markets. Having lived on the island for all of my 30 years I have a great amount of knowledge of the island and what life is like here.

The buying process can be scary and exciting. It is my job as your REALTOR® to assist you through the entire process. From our first meeting until long after you have moved into your home I am a resource for you to lean on. I will walk you through each step of the process explaining it as we go and making it as stress free as possible. I work with professionals in every aspect of home buying and selling and will point you to the best people for you. The home buying process is not just about getting the job done it's about the relationship and feeling comfortable with your REALTOR® and the other professionals you will rely on during the process.

As your REALTOR® I:

Will Work for You, I am obligated to act in your best interest
Will recommend professionals that can assist you in each aspect of your purchase
Will never let the seller know your motivation, top price or divulge any of your personal information
Will negotiate all terms & conditions on your behalf
Will disclose any information that may affect your decision or influence your offer
Will offer advice and consultation to assist you in making the best possible decision
Will spend the maximum amount of time and effort to help you locate and purchase the best possible property
Most importantly I will make the transaction and transition go as smoothly as possible

This is without trying to "sell" you anything but my service and knowledge. I hate pushy sales tactics and will not use them on you.

If the above sounds like what you are looking for in a Nanaimo Realtor, then give me a call!
