Taking advantage of a realtor’s help when buying a home is rewarding! Buying a home might seem simple and most people wonder why they would need the help of a real estate professional. During the whole process many aspects of a transaction can be unfortunately taken lightly and overlooked by one or even both parties. In some cases, the owners of homes for sale can be dishonest or may have forgotten to state information in declaration forms.
Consider these interesting tips before making an offer:
- Verify the declarations made by the owners and validate their answers with your broker
- Verify the deeds submitted in the Québec Land Registry to make sure the property is not affected by any limitations (Older homes, rural properties, condominiums, etc.)
- Perform an in-depth analysis based on sold comparables to make sure you’re paying the proper value
- Set the appropriate conditions in your offer to make sure you’re protected against any hidden defects or irregularities
- Having a pre approval is not mandatory but is a great asset when it comes to negotiating the best possible price
- And more!
