Buying

I have all the tools you need to find your perfect home in Collingwood, Thornbury, Blue Mountain Village and surrounding areas of Southern Georgian Bay. I'll put my years of experience to help you from the very first documents, selecting home features, negotiating offers and recommending services to complete the move! 

"Why use a local REALTOR®"? 

As a LOCAL ReaItor I have exenisive knowledge of the local market conditions and comparable MLS® sales data. I am always familiar with the current homes on the market, and I know neighborhood values well, so I can help you determine which properties are fairly-priced and in good condition before you start your search.

 

I can help you determine if you need to be concerned with any local or geographical factors and assist you in

obtaining the necessary information on the following;

  • Niagara Escarpment Commission • Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority • Grey Sauble Conservation Authority • Bruce Trail
  • Condominiums
  • Waterfront/Shoreline Properties • Hi-water mark ... where is the property boundary? • Deeded access and road allowances
  • Cottage associations  • Local Native rights
  • Farming and apple production operations
  • Approved and potential developments
  • Official Plans of the local municipalities and counties
  • Development charges
  • Designated historical buildings
  • Snowmobile Trails
  • Landfill sites
  • Wind power and power corridors
  • Quarries
  • Wetlands
  • Water Supply • Municipal vs. private or shared wells drilled/dug/shore wells or cisterns • Jet vs. submersible well pumps • Aquifers • Well and water quality reports
  • Septic systems and Use permits ... what properties should have them?
  • Access permits
  • Heat • Oil vs. propane • What are the new regulations governing oil heating systems? •What is a W.E.T.T. inspection?

In addition, as your local REALTOR® I... 

• have access to full local MLS® data 
• am a professionally trained REALTOR® and may be able to sell your home quicker at a better price than you could get privately because of access to potential clients
• know what's happening politically and environmentally in our area
• am aware of approved and potential developments 
•know the neighbourhoods and communities that best match your criteria (some are more desirable than others; some are geared more to young families, older adults, singles or a diverse mix of residents)
• am aware of drawbacks such as highway noise, train tracks and airports
•know availability of shopping, public transit, recreational and religious facilities
•am aware of what kinds of schools and services are available; whether kids will be bused to their school or if the school is close by, whether they'll have to cross major intersections.

Your Next Step: Loan Pre-Qualification

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.
 
Call me and I will refer you to a mortgage professional that has an excellent reputation and track record for successfully acquiring loan approval for his/her clients.

I Will Find The Right Homes For You

Once you've been pre-qualified and know what price range you want to stay in, I can help you determine which properties fit your needs by using the (MLS) Multiple Listing Service system to locate them.
 
I have the best possible resources and communication systems available today to help you locate the homes on the market that match your specifications. You can even search my listings here at my website.

I Will Help You Every Step Of The Way

I will help you complete your financing and inspections, and close on the transaction. My top priority is to make sure that your home buying experience is pleasant, cost-efficient, and successful.
