Understand before you sign.
The questions people often ask me.
Have a question? Write to me.Which article should I start with if I'm buying for the first time?
Start with “The steps to buying your first home in Montréal”, which lays out the order of things, from the budget to the notary. Then read “How much of a down payment do you need to buy a property or an income property?” and “The hidden costs of buying a property” to build a budget that holds up. When you start visiting, “How do you get your offer accepted in a competitive Montréal market?” gets you ready for what comes next.
Are the numbers in the articles still up to date?
Not always, which is why every article shows its date. Rates, the welcome tax and down payment rules change over time. Use the article to understand how things work, then check the number with me or with your lender before you make a decision.
Can an article replace a broker's advice?
No. An article explains what holds true for most people. Your budget, the area and the property you have in mind often change the answer. If something you read raises a question about your own situation, call me or write to me: we'll look at it together, and then you decide.
Have a real estate project in Montréal?
