Buying a Home: The Process

Step 1: Define Your Needs and Budget


Understanding what you’re looking for is key. I’ll help you identify your priorities, whether it’s proximity to schools, a specific neighbourhood, or property type, and align them with your budget.

Questions to Think About: 

  • Size 
  • Number of Bedrooms
  • Location 
  • Outdoor Space
  • Price 
  • Mortgage Payments 
  • Strata Fees ( For Apartments)
Families are usually concerned about school catchment location. The Fraser Institute website is a great tool to conduct preliminary research. 

Step 2: Financing: Research a Mortgage Solution 


Securing the right mortgage is a crucial step when buying a home in Vancouver. 
Start by researching different mortgage options and lenders to find the best rates and terms for your financial situation. Consider using online resources like:

Ratehub.ca: Compare mortgage rates from various lenders in one place.
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC): Access tools and guides for first-time buyers.
Mortgage calculators: Many banks and financial institutions, like RBC and TD, offer online calculators to help you estimate monthly payments.

I can also connect you with trusted local mortgage brokers who specialize in helping home buyers in Vancouver. Together, we’ll ensure your financing aligns with your goals.
