HOW TO BUY A HOME, STEP-BY-STEP!

This video is a complimentary step-by-step guide outlining how to buy your first house in Toronto. I'm going to explain each step in the buying process, so when it's your time to shine, you can DOMINATE! 

1. ASSESS YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION
Before you start your home search in Toronto, evaluate your financial position to determine how much you can afford. Consider your income, debts, and savings. It's also a good idea to check your credit score, as it will impact your mortgage approval and interest rates.
2. GET PRE-APPROVED FOR A MORTGAGE
With a pre-approval, you'll know how much you can borrow and what your interest rate will be. This helps you focus on homes within your budget and gives you an edge over other buyers in Toronto's competitive market.
3. HIRE A LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENT
A knowledgeable real estate agent can provide valuable insights into Toronto's housing market and help you find the perfect home. They can also help you navigate the home buying process, from making an offer to closing the deal
4. DETERMINE YOUR DESIRED NEIGHBOURHOODS
Toronto has a diverse range of neighborhoods with varying property values, amenities, and lifestyles. Research and identify the neighborhoods that best align with your preferences and budget.
5. START YOUR HOME SEARCH
Attend open houses, view listings online, and work closely with your real estate agent to find homes that match your criteria. Remember to be patient and stay within your budget during this stage.
6. MAKE AN OFFER
Once you've found a home you love, work with your real estate agent to submit a competitive offer. In Toronto's hot market, it's crucial to act quickly and be prepared for potential bidding wars.
7. SECURE FINANCING
After your offer is accepted, finalize your mortgage with your lender. This may include providing additional documentation and locking in your interest rate.
8. COMPLETE A HOME INSPECTION
Hire a qualified home inspector to evaluate the property's condition. This will help you identify any potential issues and negotiate repairs or a price reduction if needed.
9. PROPERTY APPRAISAL
Your lender will require an appraisal to ensure the property's value is in line with the purchase price. This step helps protect both you and your lender's investment. Typically this cost is covered by your lender. 
10. FINAL WALKTHROUGH AND CLOSING
Before closing the deal, conduct a final walkthrough to ensure that any agreed-upon repairs have been completed and the home's condition is as expected. Afterward, meet with your lawyer or notary to finalize the paperwork, transfer funds, and receive the keys to your new Toronto home.
 
Congratulations!
