BUYING A CALGARY HOME, ACREAGE, CONDO OR A PROPERTY IN RURAL ALBERTA?

Buying

Let me help you every step of the way. When purchasing a home, you are faced with a multitude of decisions! The primary one is whether you are actually prepared to purchase a home. Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, and obtaining a mortgage loan can be a complex and tiring process. Although, once you have determined that you are ready to move forward with the required effort towards your home-purchasing goal, the rewards are unquestionable.
 
While at your side each step of the way, I will make the process of purchasing a home easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming, and less expensive than if you undertook this challenge on your own. will help you prepare so that sellers perceive you as a preferred buyer, help you locate and assess properties for sale that match your specifications, and help you through the myriad of details attending the actual purchase.
 
I am always familiar with the current homes on the market, and I know neighborhood values well, so I can help you determine which properties are fairly-priced and in good condition before you start your search. 

Your First Step

Your first step to buying a home is to 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? To entertain business associates? To move up to a bigger house? Next, list what kind of home you'd like and where you would like to be. Be specific. Separate the "must haves" from the "want to haves."
 
Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific. Consider area (city, suburban neighborhood, country); community (north, south, east, or west side); 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? Does your situation require a one-level home, or are stairs acceptable? Consider size and kind of property. Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up? Someday you or your heirs will want to sell. Consider how long you expect to live in this particular home.

Your Next Step: Loan Pre-Qualification

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. This can be done quickly and easily with an online application and a quick chat with a mortgage professional.
 
Take 30 seconds to enter your name and email address into this form and you can have your mortgage pre-approved in the next three business days.

I Will Find The Right Home For You

Once you've been pre-qualified and know what price range you want to stay in, I can help you determine which properties fit your needs by using the (MLS) Multiple Listing Service system to locate them.

I Will Help You Every Step Of The Way

I will help you complete your financing and inspections, and close on the transaction. My top priority is to make sure that your home buying experience is pleasant, cost-efficient, and successful.

CALGARY REALTOR DIANE RICHARDSON

Yes, I want your business; I’ll work hard to earn it and even harder to keep it. But I’m not going to pester you (that’ll just make you mad). I’m here when you need me, providing prompt responses to your inquiries and answering your questions honestly. If you’re looking for a new home I’ll search hard looking for places that have potential for you. If you’ve listed your home with me I’ll keep you informed on what’s been happening with your property and it’s relation to the current market.
 
Buying and selling real estate is a big deal, it involves a lot of money, you want an Agent with experience and that you can trust, I am that Agent.
Negotiations
I have great relationships with the Realtors® I’ve worked with in the past and I continue to build on these with every deal I do. Why do you care if I get along with other Realtors®? Because good negotiation involves a win-win resolution, it isn’t about winner takes all. Effective negotiation is about knowing what both sides want and structuring the deal to get as close to that as possible. Negotiators that try to slay the opposition are more apt to make enemies and lose opportunities than they are to get good terms and a successful sale.
