So you’ve thought about it, talked it over, slept on, talked it over again....and are ready to sell your home, or buy a new one.

It’s an exciting time and you want nothing more than to get going on this new chapter...but what’s the first Step?

Talk To Your Bank.

By Going to your financial institution first, even before you speak to a Real Estate professional, you’ll become aware of the different type of mortgage options available to you, get pre-approval for a mortgage, and determine how much debt you can carry in the future.

This will help you figure out exactly how much you have to spend on housing and roughly what your budget is for a home.

In addition, financial advisors and banks will have information on rebates or tax credits that you might be eligible for. All this applies if you are selling as well, because before your home goes on the market, you need to know how much money you can access to cover all the costs associated with selling.
