Buying Property In Fort St. John?

Purchasing a property can be an exciting process and likely one of the largest investments you will make. Whether you are purchasing for personal use or on behalf of a business, you will be faced with a multitude of decisions. Locating the perfect property is not always an easy task and obtaining a mortgage loan can be a complicated and time-consuming process. Working with an expert to navigate the market on your behalf, with confidence and ease, will ensure a positive experience of which the rewards are certainly unquestionable.

While at your side each step of the way, I will make the process of purchasing a property easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming, and less expensive than if you undertook this challenge on your own. I will help you prepare so that sellers perceive you as a preferred buyer, help you locate and assess properties for sale that match your specifications, and help you through the myriad of details attending the actual purchase.

I am always familiar with the current real estate listings in Fort St. John & Surrounding areas and can help you determine which properties are fairly-priced and in good condition before you start your search.

Your First Step

Your first step to buying a home is to ask yourself why you want to buy a home: to stop paying rent? To start building equity? To have a place of your own? To raise a family? To entertain business associates? To move up to a bigger house? Next, list what kind of home you'd like and where you would like to be. Be specific. Separate the "must-haves" from the "want to have."

Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific. Consider area (city, suburban neighbourhood, country); community (north, south, east, or west side); neighbourhood (older and settled or sparkling new; a particular school zone; recreational facilities; and other community services such as transportation, daycare, library, stores, entertainment). Ask yourself how many minutes you are willing to commute to work.

Think about home styles. How much space do you need? Does your situation require a one-level home, or are stairs acceptable? Consider size and kind of property. Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up? Someday you or your heirs will want to sell. Consider how long you expect to live in this particular home.

Your Next Step: Loan Pre-Qualification

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.
