There’s no perfect timeline. A good place to start is understanding your budget, getting pre-approved, and figuring out what you actually want from your next home. We can help you understand the process and your options before you’re ready to start looking seriously.

You don’t technically need a mortgage pre-approval to start looking, but having one gives you a much clearer idea of what you can comfortably afford and puts you in a better position when it’s time to make an offer.

Beyond your down payment, buyers should plan for expenses such as legal fees, inspections, moving costs, adjustments, and potentially Property Transfer Tax. Some buyers may qualify for exemptions or other programs, so it’s worth looking at your individual situation before you buy.

For many residential purchases in BC, buyers have a three-business-day rescission period after an offer is accepted. There are some exemptions, and exercising the right comes with a rescission fee, so we’ll walk you through how it applies to your purchase.

There isn’t one perfect month that works for every property. Market conditions, your neighbourhood, competition, your timeline, and what you’re planning to do next all matter. We’ll look at the bigger picture and help you decide when selling makes sense for you.

Usually, less than you think. We’ll walk through your home together and determine what’s worth doing before it hits the market, from decluttering and small repairs to staging, photography, and marketing. The goal is to focus your time and money where it will actually make a difference.

BC sellers have disclosure obligations for known material latent defects, which are certain significant issues that may not be discoverable through a reasonable inspection. Property Disclosure Statements are also commonly used, although the form itself is voluntary. We can help you understand the real estate side of the disclosure process and when you may want legal advice.

It depends on whether you’re buying or selling and the services involved. Real estate commissions in BC are negotiable, and sellers should receive information explaining the remuneration involved in their transaction. We’ll make sure you understand the costs before you commit to anything.

Nope. Just two guys who have been friends since elementary school and then decided working together every day was a good idea.
