With over 60 years of combined experience in Oakville real estate, the Schiavone Diamond team is uniquely able to provide you with advice on buying a home in the area. Let us guide you through all the steps to finding just the right home for you.
Step 1
Make a list of your wants and needs
Before you set out on the process of buying a home, it’s best to make a detailed list of what you really want and need.
How the Schiavone Diamond team helps: We can weigh in with our own objective look at your wants/needs, and help you determine the best possible mix of both.
Step 2
Understand the costs
It’s important to get a clear picture of the costs involved in buying a home – something not all buyers take the time to do.
How the Schiavone Diamond team helps: We can help by showing you exactly what you might be paying for things like legal fees, moving expenses, home inspection charges and more.
Step 3
Arrange for financing
It’s always a good idea to obtain a mortgage pre-approval – because it gives you the peace-of-mind of knowing exactly what you can afford. What’s more, it allows you to eliminate financing as a condition when making an offer, and that can give you an edge over other buyers.
How the Schiavone Diamond team helps: We can point you to an expert mortgage specialist who can provide you with just the right mortgage plan, at the lowest possible rate.
Step 4
Get listings
Information is everything – so you want to be sure you’re on top of every home that meets your criteria, as it becomes available.
How the Schiavone Diamond team helps: When you work with us, we’ll ensure that you receive all new listings as soon as they become available – so you always have the latest, most up-to-date information at your fingertips.
Step 5
Make an offer
When the time is right, make an offer!
How the Schiavone Diamond team helps: Strategy at this point is critical – and as experienced negotiators, we can help determine just the right offer approach, to ensure that you get the most home for your money.
