Buying a New Condominium

So you want to purchase a new Condo in Toronto? Walk into the sales center, pick a unit, sign a dozen or so papers, pay your deposit and you're all done!  Easy right?

Let's see, the sales center staff works for the builder!  They have a legal obligation to represent the builder's interest and not yours.  How can you be sure you did not spend too much?  Or picked the worst possible unit? Have you researched enough about the developer? How does this project compare with the one across the street?

What I can offer:

• First of all, my services are FREE to you.
• I can provide you with an unbiased and professional consultation:
  • Are you getting a good price? Heard of VIP preview pricing?
  • Pick the good suites and avoid the bad ones!  Did you know about that other building going up across your unit blocking your view?
  • Learn about the builder and their projects.
  • Learn about the other projects in the area, specially the ones that could (positively or negatively) affect the value of your property.
  • Understand builder's sales and marketing strategies and how it affects you.
  • Learn about government incentives (first time home buyer, interest free loans, RRSP, etc.)
  • Be represented in the negotiation table.
  • Learn the real cost of buying a condo (deposits, legal cost, mortgage costs, closing cost, maintenance, property taxes, land transfer taxes, etc.).
  • Direct you to seek additional assistance (lawyer, mortgage broker, etc.).
  • Why you should get a pre-approved mortgage.
  • Learn about TARION warranty.
  • Learn about CMHC.
• Ultimately, my goal is to provide you with as much information to allow you to make the best possible decision.

Contact me before you walk into that sales center!  We'll make sure you come out as a winner!
