Buying a Home
Buying a home is an exciting time. We are here to make is as enjoyable and pleasant as it can be.
So what do you need to know when buying a home?
Most people think their down payment is the only expense they have to budget for. However, there are other expenses such as legal fees, property transfer tax, insurance, and tax adjustments.
Buying a home should be a pleasant and satisfying experience. You will go through complete a strategy session with us in order to help avoid any unexpected costs, and keep the process stress-free.
TIP: Did you know that you can add renovations to your mortgage for home improvements? The amount can range up to 80k for renovations subject to lender and insurance approval. About half of our clients take advantage of this great program and most weren’t even aware this was even an option.
Selling & Buying a Home
Since you’re selling your home, it’s highly likely that you will have some home equity to take advantage of. This means you can pay off high-interest credit cards, car loans, and lines of credits. You can even avoid paying mortgage loan insurance premiums due to your mortgage being paid down and increased real estate values.
We make sure to review your overall financial picture to help you make the best possible choice. Together, we will help you visualize the best use of your home equity. This is a key step when selling and buying a home.
Completing a strategy session with us will keep the process smooth and stress-free and it will help you avoid any unexpected costs.
Selling and buying a home is a big decision. Seeing the end result is just as important as the preparation. Upon the completion of a strategy session you will also be able to account for the cost of owning a home and anticipate the other costs such as property taxes and strata fees if you are buying a strata property.

Refinancing
Some homeowners think that the word re-finance is a bad one, but it’s not!
Taking advantage of home equity and low mortgage rates is easier, and more common than you think. Re-financing is essentially making adjustments to your existing mortgage and replacing it with a new one.
Here are some reasons why you may want to refinance:
- to lower interest rate and payments;
- to pay off high-interest credit cards, car loans, and lines of credit;
- to buy a second home, recreation property, or investment property;
- to settle a marital separation;
- to help pay costs associated unexpected health concerns; or
- to adopt a child.
Completing a strategy session with us gives you a helping hand to understand how much equity you have access to and guide you on the best ways to use it.
Most homeowners do not realize how beneficial it can be to make changes to your mortgage.
Refinancing can save you thousands of dollars and help you avoid unwanted stress.
TIP: Home equity is the most accessible and utilized financial resource available to Canadian homeowners today. Even if you decide to break your existing mortgage term and pay a penalty, it is highly likely that you will save back your penalty with your new mortgage and secure and organize your overall financial picture.
Mortgage Transfer
The mortgage industry is constantly changing.
When your mortgage comes up for renewal, STOP!
Don’t just sign on the dotted line like more than 30% of homeowners do.
This is one of the times when spending a few minutes reviewing your mortgage with our team, can save you thousands of dollars.
During our strategy session, we will examine which lenders have the most competitive rates and most importantly get you thinking about how these options can put you in a better financial position.
TIP: This is the IDEAL time to consider making changes to your mortgage because penalties no longer apply. In most cases, there is no cost whatsoever to switch your mortgage to another lender for a better rate and product.
