Jeff's 15 point Buyer Home Search Program

  1. I take the time to thoroughly understand your needs and desires then apply my knowledge of the local market to help you find the right property.
  2. I keep abreast of the properties currently on the market in the area, including regularly going on agent's tours of new listings.
  3. I check the Real Estate Board's Multiple Listing Service® database every day for new listings meeting your criteria.
  4. Because of my active profile in the industry, I often learn of new properties for sale before they are listed.
  5. I know the local area very well, including schools, high-traffic zones, shopping, and desirability.
  6. I am familiar with local zoning bylaws and OCPs (official community plans) and how they may affect properties in the area.
  7. I use my experience to help you determine market-based value for homes you are interested in, including comparisons to recent sales, pricing trends, and other current listings; I can also find the price the current owner paid for the property.
  8. I maintain a circle of competent and knowledgeable experts for home inspections, home repairs, legal, and financial advice, including mortgage brokers to help you get the best rate and terms for your mortgage.
  9. I offer support, service and advice through the entire home search and purchase cycle, including negotiations, writing fair and enforceable contracts, subjects and subject removal, and closing; I can help you select closing and possession dates that will work best for you. See How to make an offer for an overview of the process.
  10. I can cut through the red tape when documents need to be processed, deliver copies to all parties, co-ordinate lender mortgage advance, communicate with lawyers, keep you informed of the process every step of the way, and guarantee to deliver Quality Service.
  11. I will arrange with the selling Agent that move-in instructions, keys, mail-box keys, manuals, parking stall and locker numbers, etc. are all clearly marked for your convenience on arrival at your new home.
  12. Advise you on all purchase costs associated with your move to ensure there are no surprises.
  13. I am available to you on my direct line (250-240-5021) and return all my calls promptly.
  14. My job as your agent is to represent your best interests using my strong and proven negotiating skills to get you the best price possible, and to ensure a smooth transfer and possession of your new home.
  15. I only get paid on successful completion of a sale I negotiate on your behalf - until then I am working "on spec". And the Seller pays my commission.

My goal is to find you the right home for the right price with the least inconvenience to you.
