Buy with realtors Gene and Bill Watt

Purchasing a new home or condo is by far the biggest, most expensive purchase you’ll make in your life. You need honest, informative resources and the space to weigh your options – that means no pressure.

My son Bill and I strive to create a comfortable, fun, relaxed atmosphere so you can cut through the clutter and make the best choice. And when it comes time to put pen to paper, you can expect strong, proactive negotiation honed over my 30 years as a civil and contract law arbitrator.

We’re proud to say the majority of our clients are either repeat business or referrals from other clients. These strong relationships are built on honesty, trust and excellent customer service. Bill and I will do whatever it takes to ensure your best interests are met and that you find the home of your dreams.

If you’re looking for new place to call home in any corner of the Lower Mainland, call 778 668-7253 and let’s chat about how our buyer services can work for you. 

The first step 

First ask yourself why you want to buy a home: to stop paying rent? To start building equity? To have a place of your own? To raise a family or create more space for a growing family? 

Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to specific. Consider area, community, neighborhood (older and settled or sparkling new; a particular school zone; recreational facilities; and other community services such as transportation, day care, library, stores, entertainment). Ask yourself how many minutes you are willing to commute to work.

Think about home styles. How much space do you need? Are stairs okay, or do you need everything on one level? Consider size and kind of property. Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up? How long do you want to live there?

Next Step: Loan pre-qualification

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step is to get pre-qualified for a mortgage. This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes. Call us and I will refer you to a mortgage professionals who have excellent reputations and track records for approvals.
