    Why Inspection Is Important for your House

    When purchasing a home and writing an offer, it’s important for a Buyer’s Agent to include subjects in order to protect the buyer. There is a subject removal period where the buyer works to satisfy the subject conditions that are listed on the accepted offer for a particular property. Subject removal works as a great safety net for buyers as it allows the buyers to perform the due diligence related to the subjects that are accepted, such as reviewing strata documents or the t

    How do you get access to pre-sales or new developments?

    First of all, when you purchase a presale home, you are paying for a future home. A pre-sale is when a developer offers condos to the market in some cases before construction of the building has started. You only need to pay a deposit. You will still pay the full price, but you don’t need to take out a home loan on the property right away. The deposit will range from 5 to 10% of the purchase price, and further 10 to 15% increments throughout the building project. Your deposit
