Buy the right building, not just the right suite
A clear plan from pre-approval to possession day, with every condo document read and explained before you commit.
Six steps to your keys
Every purchase is different, but the order matters. Here is how we will work together.
-
01
Coffee and a plan
We talk about how you live: commute, parking, pets, work-from-home space, light, noise and budget. That becomes your shortlist of neighbourhoods and buildings.
-
02
Get pre-approved
A pre-approval sets a realistic price range, holds a rate, and makes your offer stronger. I can introduce you to mortgage brokers who know condos.
-
03
Tour with a building lens
I share what I know about each tower: fees, amenities, recent special assessments, rental rules and how the suites tend to resell.
-
04
Write a smart offer
We price from recent sales in the same building and protect you with conditions for financing, documents and inspection.
-
05
Read the documents
I review the bylaws, budget, reserve fund study and minutes with you, and flag anything worth a second look before conditions come off.
-
06
Possession day
Your lawyer finalizes the paperwork, and I help with elevator bookings, fobs, parking stalls and the walk-through.
What to compare between two condos
Two suites with the same price can cost very different amounts to own. These are the questions I help you answer for every building on your shortlist.
- What the monthly fee covers: heat, water, electricity, parking and storage
- The health of the reserve fund and any upcoming projects or special assessments
- Rules on pets, rentals, short-term stays and renovations
- Titled or assigned parking, storage lockers and bike rooms
- Exposure, view lines and what could be built next door
- Transit, groceries and pathways within a ten-minute walk
