Ready to buy a home?

  • Buying your first home, Mortgage News, Pre-Approvals are important

First things first: get pre-approved

We are here to help. And did you know that the pre-approval process takes less than one hour?

First let’s start a mortgage pre-approval. It’s important to know how your income, credit score, and amount of down payment impact the purchase price of the home you can afford. We will provide a list of required documents as well.

We will work together with you and discuss mortgage options and the type of interest rate – fixed or variable and we will source the right interest rate for your financial and personal situation. The mortgage application will be submitted to a lender along with the supporting documents.

Working with a skilled and experienced realtor

We can also connect you with a skilled and experienced realtor. Did you know that as a home buyer you do not pay any real estate fees? None! The seller of the home pays the realty fees. This is the biggest purchase of your life – it’s the time to work with an expert!

With the help of a realtor and your mortgage pre-approval you will be ready to find the right home. When you find that perfect home you will be ready to write an offer to purchase, it’s important to include conditions like financing and a home inspection – once accepted by the home seller – we will get to work on your mortgage approval.

When the mortgage process is complete we will let you know that you are ready to release the financing condition, your realtor will work with you to release the home inspection condition and you will be able to celebrate buying your first home.

Meeting with a real estate lawyer

The next step will be meeting with a real estate lawyer to sign the mortgage and land titles documents. As the possession date nears your lawyer will work with the seller’s lawyer to complete the transfer of ownership and on the possession date your realtor will provide you with the keys to your new home!

It’s important to know that when you purchase a home you must be available to meet with the lawyer in person. So plan ahead in terms of vacations or working gout out of town. You will need to have two valid pieces of ID as well. So make sure your passport or driver’s licence is up to date and valid.

Our preferred partners – finding a great painter, handyman, or moving company

After many years of providing mortgage services we have developed a list of preferred partners and would be happy to provide a referral – some of the best in their industries – including a real estate lawyer, home inspector, renovation companies, painters, interior designers, and moving companies.

    Our sweet little pup Stitch gave us more love in t Our sweet little pup Stitch gave us more love in ten months than we could ever imagine. We will miss him so much.💔 He was the cutest, cuddly tiny love bug. Thanks to Jen Bee for saving his life and making sure he had the best, last ten months. We coudn’t be more grateful. We spoiled him daily, endless snuggles and snacks and carried him in his sling and he toured all over Nelson and beyond. Many great adventures with his fur sister, Vivi. So much exploring and fun! ❤️ Wish we had him from the puppy stage. But we had an amazing time while he was here. 

Thanks to the stellar Nelson Animal Hospital for their exceptional care. He had a lot of health needs and Gabby is the best vet and treated him like gold.
    Fall is my favourite season!

The colours this year are just amazing. Hoping everyone has a restful and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend.

      📈 The Bank of Canada has announced a .25% Prime 📈 The Bank of Canada has announced a .25% Prime rate decrease…. It’s been a waiting game for the last months and may be overdue. But a rate drop is here,with a few more, .25% decreases expected in the next four to six months. 

What does this mean for mortage holders and the housing market? 🛌

The decrease will lower borrowing costs on all variable rate mortgages and lines of credit. Banks and lenders make the adjustment and the next payment lowers. 

Often a Prime rate reduction means fixed rates will also lower. That may take days or weeks. Variable and fixed rates are impacted by two very different mechanisms. The fixed rates move based on the bond market. So these rates are loosely tied together and generally raise and lower around the same time but not my the same amount. 

This change may stir up more interest in the housing market, get buyers off the sidelines and prompt potential sellers to list. Lower rates = lower mortgage payments. And that is good news! 🤩
