CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR HHT

• Send us a list of homes you want to visit prior to arrival. This will give us a chance to review and comment on the listings and get a feel of your “wants and needs” required in your next home.
• Discuss and advise us of any special requirements or medical needs that you or your family members have so, with them in consideration, we can find the perfect home.
• Bring slip on shoes for easy removal when viewing properties, bring easy slip on slippers in the summer so that you do not have to walk around in your bare feet.
• Bring along a video camera or a still camera to take images of the homes that you are viewing and the ones that catch your most interest so that you can review at a later time. With a short timeline during the HHT, memories of homes tend to meld together. Documentation will be key as this can get overwhelming.
• Every contract of Purchase and Sale require a deposit to be held in a Real Estate Trust Account. The standard in the Quinte Region (CFB Trenton’s surrounding area) is $500 to $1,000. Depending on the closing date, this cheque can be a personal cheque, certified cheque or bank draft, however this cheque will need to be deposited within 24 hours of an accepted Agreement of Purchase.
• We have a list of local lawyers, inspectors and other professionals that are all Brookfield approved for the purchase of your new property.
