Buying a Home
Helping buyers find their dream home or investment property.
My Signature Home Buying Experience
Buying a home or a new property can be an exciting and intense process. Buying property is a long-term investment and you want to make sure you are getting the most value for your money.
As an experienced agent, my job is to make sure you make the right investment, no matter what you are looking for. With expertise in both the local luxury real estate market, as well as investment properties, you will be well supported throughout the buying process.
As a local Realtor® I have access to off-market listings or coming soon to market listings, which are properties that are not yet listed publicly on MLS. This can give my buyers an advantage in finding and securing their desired property before they hit the open market
The understanding of local regulations and zoning laws is very important in the area. I have a thorough understanding of local regulations and zoning laws that can impact the purchase of a property. This can help buyers avoid potential legal issues and ensure that they are making a sound investment.
I connect my clients with my network of local experts and professionals, such as lawyers, home inspectors, mortgage brokers, movers and contractors. These connections can help buyers navigate the buying and moving in process more smoothly and ensure that they have access to trusted professionals who can provide valuable advice and support.

FAQ's
Although you can start your property search before you have financing secured, I would highly advise completing the pre-approval for a mortgage or financing before we start your home search. Knowing how much you can invest in a property is key to refining the price range you will be looking in. Looking at properties before you know your budget may waste time, energy and resources, if your assumption about what you can afford is incorrect and we have to start over. You wouldn’t want to fall in love with a property only to find out that you can’t afford to put an offer in on it.
Yes, however, I always recommend working with an agent that knows the area you are searching in well. There are regional nuances to real estate. Whether it be municipal bylaws, or simply the local buying and selling patterns, you want an agent who can support you with local experience to help you make the most informed decision. My expertise is in the Collingwood and the Blue Mountains areas, therefore as an agent that’s where I can be the best support to my buyers.
Timelines vary, but in my experience from the start of the home search through to closing, it can take on average 3-6 months for buyers to buy a home in a healthy, active real estate market.
