Buying is an exciting and fun experience when you have the right people working for you. Elizabeth and Chris pride themselves on providing their clients with the best possible service. This includes knowledgeable advice on their clients options, insight into market trends, quickly resolving issues and ensuring there are no surprises.

Once you have decided to buy a condo, get qualified for a mortgage by your bank or a mortgage broker. This will ensure you start your search within your price range. The next step is to educate yourself, the main purpose of this website. Learn about different neighbourhoods and buildings by searching our maps. Pick a neighbourhood which makes for an easy commute and in which you enjoy socializing. Choose buildings in which you are surrounded by your peers.

Contact us and let’s discuss what’s important to you… new vs old, bedroom size, condo or loft, pools & gyms, concierge service, public transportation, facing which direction, balcony, view… etc. Different things are important to each of us, give these criteria some thought. Visiting open houses is a good way to educate yourself but do disclose that you have a Real Estate Agent representing you. Elizabeth and Chris will send you new listings as they hit the market to ensure you’re constantly up to date.

Don’t start visiting condo sales sites on your own, the act of visiting a sales site may exclude your option of having your Real Estate Agent represent you at that site. This puts you at a disadvantage not being able to have a professional representing your best interests. While unit prices are not negotiable, we can advise and help you negotiate on closing costs, upgrades, deposit schedules, etc. We can also get you to the front of the line! Most successful projects are more than 50% sold before they reach the general public. Our Brokerage gets advance purchasing privileges. We have no interest in any one development, we can compare developments and advise you on which one’s have the most potential. Elizabeth and Chris know the best units to buy and the ones to avoid. Our expertise costs you nothing, the Developer/Seller pays the commission.
