Buying Advice

Purchasing real estate is a huge endeavour when you consider all of the moving parts within a transaction. Simply put, having guidance when investing large amounts of capital is always recommended. What that guidance looks like, should be entirely based on your needs. At Bosley, we are full service. This may include financing needs, due diligence, paperwork, negotiation and so much more.

CONSIDER THIS: You do NOT need a Realtor to buy a house if...

1. You are a trained negotiator
2. You have unfettered access to the full details of all the real estate listings and sales in your desired location
3. You are aware of current federal money laundering and foreign Buyers and Sellers regulations and, of course, you have access to the appropriate paperwork
4. You are familiar with current neighbourhood by-laws and restrictions
5. You know the limitations of historical homes, flood plains, setbacks, parking and all of the other legalities associated with real property law
6. You are fully conversant in the interpretation of status certificates
7. You know the amenities, services and schools in multiple neighbourhoods
8. You have access to contractors, plumbers, designers, inspectors, landscapers and architects and lawyers
9. You are fully capable of inserting offer clauses which benefit and protect your interests without jeopardizing the actual negotiation that will yield you a purchase
10. You have the respect of the competing agents in your chosen area
11. You understand pricing and value in relation to other recently sold properties
12. You understand the difference between a mortgage broker and a bank and have access to the best rates and timely approvals

Most importantly, should you decide to represent yourself, you have just given the listing agent the opportunity to double their commission rather than 'save you money'. Should you decide to offer through the listing agent rather than hire your own agent, you have lost the opportunity to have a professional act in your best interests only.

IT COSTS YOU NOTHING TO HIRE YOUR OWN REPRESENTATIVE. What are you waiting for? Hire a Bosley Representative today.
