Buying A Home


We work directly with you to develop a plan specific to your property needs.

Here are the steps…
 

Determining Your Goals

We listen to you, we want to know what you need from a property - all aspects - from your timelines, where you see your budget fitting in the current market to your communication preferences. We guide you through the entire process of determining needs vs. wants, revisiting and revising as needed during the property search.

Positioning You as a Strong Buyer

As your expert advisors, we teach you about the current real estate market in plain language. Times have changed over the past 5 years with open online access to information and we know how to help you find your next property in this environment. We support during the buyer qualification process, and have professional referrals to a selection of lawyers, mortgage brokers, and other lenders, ensuring that you are in the strongest position as a qualified buyer.

Targeted Comprehensive Property Search

We send listings that meet your criteria directly to your email so that you can review each of them at a time convenient to you. You will become familiar with the types of properties available and will begin to narrow down your preferences toward selecting those you would like to view. We monitor all new listings coming onto the market, our Brokerage pages out all internals listings so we are aware of them before they are ‘live’ on the MLS system, as well we preview new listings weekly through Realtor open houses.

Royal LePage Network New Listings Notification System

As a top brokerage in Red Deer, at Royal LePage Network Realty, one of our advantages is that all new listings are paged out to over 70 of our colleagues the day they are listed, and we know that agents are the gateway to the majority of current sellers in the market. We discuss potential properties with our colleagues in our efforts to find a property for you.

Coordinate All Property Viewings

We coordinate all of the property viewings that you request, contacting the Realtors directly where possible in order to find out as much as we can prior to seeing the property. We accompany you to each viewing providing any additional information and/or observations for you to consider.

Ongoing Market Monitoring

The real estate market fluctuates, and it is important for you to be aware of any changes during your property search. We monitor the market daily and review month to month trends to give you the most accurate information during your search period.

Experts in the Red Deer Area

We know the Red Deer area, both the city and the surrounding rural acreage locations. We put that knowledge to use for you so that you have the best property location to meet your needs.

Completion of Offer to Purchase Contract and Expert Negotiation

When you find the property that you want, we meet with you and complete the offer to purchase contract, including your terms and conditions, and explain the process of offer submission, negotiation, and final agreement. We are expert negotiators working on your behalf. Our goal is not to ‘win’ a sale, rather it is to use a positive negotiation approach so that you get your best market price, conditions and terms, without us getting in the way. We have a worked hard to develop a very good relationship with other realtors, an important consideration when going into this phase of selling your property.

Taking You to Final Sale and Day of Possession

There are many steps to support you through after an accepted contract, we help you understand each of them, and work with inspectors, contractors, and lawyers to move your sale to possession day without a hitch.
