Looking to buy a home?

How can I help you with your home purchase?


Would you feel confident flying with a pilot who only read books about flying? Neither would I.

In addition to my training and educational background, I bring extensive hands-on experience across all facets of real estate, ranging from home construction and inspection to negotiating successful real estate transactions and final key handover. Every client has a unique approach to the home buying journey and I am dedicated to sharing this knowledge and expertise with you as we embark on the journey of finding your perfect new home. 

Whether you're an experienced purchaser or a first-time buyer, whether you're in search of a home or a condominium, I prioritize understanding your unique preferences, concerns, and objectives right from the start. I am committed to providing you with expert advice, addressing any questions you may have, and ensuring you feel confident in every step of the process.

1.    Initial Consultation: We start by talking so you know how I can assist you in the process, and so I understand your expectations, needs, preferences, and budget.

2.    Property Search: I conduct a thorough search for properties that meet your criteria, considering factors like location, size, amenities, and budget. I email you information on these properties, including any perspective I may have on them. 

3.    Property Viewings: I arrange viewings for us to visit potential properties in which you express an interest, answering questions and providing insights along the way. For instance, while certain features like a bus stop at the front door may not concern you now, what might be their potential impact on future resale value and the perceptions of future buyers.

4.    Offer Preparation and Contract Negotiation: Once you wish to make an offer on a property, we craft the offer together and I submit it to the vendor on your behalf. I then represent your interests throughout the process of negotiating favorable price, terms and conditions that meet your needs.  

5.    Inspection and Due Diligence: I coordinate property inspections and facilitate any necessary due diligence to ensure the property meets your expectations.

6.    Closing Process: I provide advice through the closing process, coordinating with all parties involved to ensure a smooth transaction.

7.    Handover: Finally, we meet for the key handover, ensuring that you receive possession of the property as agreed.

The more informed you are before making a purchase, the smoother and more enjoyable the home buying process will be. You can rely on me to provide you with reliable guidance not just during the purchase but also before and after, ensuring your satisfaction and peace of mind every step of the way.

You can count on (and deserve) sound advice before, during, and after your purchase. 

successful home buying philosophy

PLANNING IS A TOP PRIORITY

I develop a customized buying strategy based on your objectives from the start. You will be provided with all the information needed to properly assess a property, its value and future potential.

OPEN AND FREQUENT COMMUNICATION

I remain in contact with you every step of the way and keep you informed the moment relevant information and market data becomes available. The Greater Victoria market moves fast. That’s why having the most up to date data helps you to make an informed decision. At the same time, I’m very honest with my opinion – if I think a better property is out there for you, I will let you know.

MY CONNECTIONS ARE YOUR CONNECTIONS

I have a strong and professional network that includes connections with some of Victoria's top agents. I also have access to exclusive listings and other opportunities that you may not find on MLS.

I AM COMMITTED TO YOU

Your long-term real estate interests are more important to me than focusing on completing a transaction. I'll know I was successful when I’ve guided you successfully when you have the keys to your new home.  Whether I’m attending an open house with you or negotiating on your behalf, I am always working in your best interests.

MORE THAN JUST REAL ESTATE

From our first meeting through to the closing date (and long after the final sale), you’ll always have access to me and my Alexandrite Real Estate network as well as my qualified tradespeople and other industry professionals.

Real Estate The Complete Way

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