Buying Lake Country Real Estate

Let me help you every step of the way. When purchasing a home in Lake Country, you are faced with a multitude of decisions! The primary one is whether you are actually prepared to purchase a home. Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, and obtaining a mortgage loan can be a complex and tiring process. Despite these realities, once you have determined to move forward with your home-purchasing goal, the rewards are exciting and unquestionable. Owning real estate in Lake Country is a dream for many - a dream that I cherish the opportunity to help fulfill.

 

While at your side each step of the way, I will make the process of purchasing a Lake Country home 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 qualified buyer. I will help you locate and assess properties for sale that match your wants, needs & specifications. Once we have identified "the one," I will put my top notch negotiating skills to work so as to reach a price and terms that you are satisfied with. Subsequent to having an accepted offer, I will coach you through the myriad of details and due diligence that is the process between acceptance and completion. I have a team of professionals that will simplify and streamline the work so that you can simply start packing and preparing to move.

 

I am familiar with the current homes on the market, and I know neighborhood values well, so I 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 first 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. Winfield, Carrs Landing, Oyama or Okanagan Centre? Be specific. Separate the "must haves" from the "want to haves."

 

Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific. Consider area (Winfield, Oyama, Carrs Landing, Okanagan Centre); community (north, south, east, or west side); neighborhood (older and settled or sparkling new; a particular school zone; recreational facilities; and other community services such as transportation, day care, 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.

 

Call me and I will refer you to a mortgage professional that has an excellent reputation and track record for successfully acquiring loan approval for his/her clients.

I Will Find The Right Homes For You

Once you've been pre-qualified and know what price range you want to stay in, I can help you determine which properties fit your needs by using the (MLS) Multiple Listing Service system to locate them.
