Close to the bustling city-centre or in a family-friendly neighbourhood? These questions require serious reflection – and your broker is there to offer guidance in your quest for answers.

3. Scheduling property visits

As a team, you and your broker will target the most suitable properties to visit. When you’re ready to tour properties, it’s wise to prepare yourself accordingly. As you’ll probably be visiting several homes consecutively, be sure to note your comments and impressions during and after each visit tor future reference. And remember, your broker’s professional experience is always at your disposal!

4. Evaluating current market conditions

When comes the time to make an offer, trust your broker’s expertise to guide you regarding the realistic market value of your selected property, the required down payment, and any issues which might serve to reduce the selling price.

5. Final negotiations

The fine art of negotiating isn’t everyone’s forte! Fortunately, your real estate broker
is well-equipped with relevant expertise and experience. Moreover, you’re assured that your personal prerequisites and preferences will be taken to heart. Finally, your broker will be instrumental in planning and preparing counter-offers, should the vendor refuse your initial offer to purchase.
