Service & commitment

What to expect when buying with me

Access to Listings
Access includes MLS listings and exclusive off-market homes across Weston, Vaughan, and Toronto. Buyers are often notified of properties before they go public, including assignments, pre-construction releases, and agent-exclusive showings.

Local Expertise
Detailed knowledge of Weston’s historic homes, bungalows, and new builds, plus deep familiarity with surrounding Vaughan neighbourhoods like Vellore Village, Woodbridge, and Maple. Buyers receive insight on resale values, school catchments, future developments, and even street-level noise or traffic patterns that may affect long-term satisfaction.

Negotiation Skills
Offers are built with intention — factoring in market trends, seller motivation, and competing interest. Common strategies include flexible closings, personalized buyer letters, strategic deposit structuring, and custom conditions to reduce risk without weakening the offer.

Paperwork & Process
Once a deal is in place, buyers receive a clear outline of key dates: deposit deadlines, financing conditions, inspections, lawyer review, and closing prep. Coordination with brokers, lawyers, and inspectors is proactive, not reactive — keeping the transaction smooth and timeline on track.

Stress Relief
Even in multiple-offer situations or tight timelines, communication stays consistent. Showings are coordinated around buyer schedules, updates are prompt, and support continues beyond closing — including referrals for movers, contractors, and cleaners when needed.

"Every buyer journey is different — the goal is always the same: a smooth, confident move into the right home" - Luisa

What’s the first step to buying a home?

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is the best place to start. It helps define your budget, shows sellers you’re serious, and allows for quicker decision-making once you find a home you love.

Do I need a mortgage pre-approval before seeing homes?

It’s strongly recommended. A pre-approval gives a clear picture of what’s financially comfortable — and in fast-moving markets, it allows buyers to act quickly and confidently.

How long does the home buying process take?

The timeline can vary, but most buyers spend 1–3 months searching, followed by 30–60 days to close once a deal is in place. In competitive markets, acting fast can make all the difference.

Is it better to buy a home first or sell first?

It depends on the financial situation and comfort level with risk. Some buyers purchase first to avoid feeling rushed. Others sell first to know exactly what they can spend. A tailored plan can help reduce pressure either way.

What’s included in closing costs?

Closing costs typically include legal fees, land transfer tax, home inspection, title insurance, and adjustments. In Toronto, don’t forget the municipal land transfer tax on top of the provincial one.

Can I buy with less than 20% down?

Yes. In Canada, the minimum down payment is 5% for homes under $500,000 and 10% for homes between $500,000 and $999,999. Anything under 20% requires mortgage insurance (CMHC or similar), which is added to your mortgage total. A mortgage broker can walk you through your best options.

How do showings work?

Showings are booked around your schedule and typically require 24 hours’ notice. Private showings give you time to walk through the home, ask questions, and get a feel for the space without pressure. Feedback is shared afterward to help narrow your search.

What happens after my offer is accepted?

Once a deal is in place, key dates are outlined: deposit delivery, financing approval, home inspection, and lawyer review. Communication continues at every step to ensure a smooth close — from sending reminders to coordinating with your mortgage team and legal rep.
