MLS® information is updated constantly; sales representatives have access to homes the minute they become listed in the system.
As your search begins, your Local Barrie Relocation Experts will want to know the answers to these questions:
Where have you selected to live?
What style of home do you wish to buy — Detached, Townhouse, Condo, etc.?
How much mortgage have you been pre-approved for?
Are there any special features or requirements you need in your home?
Based on your answers they will begin showing you house on the market that match those criteria. How quickly you discover the home your dreams will vary greatly, you could find it when you view that first home or you might look at a number of homes with none of them catching your interest. Rest assured, the home you’re looking for is out there, and when you find it, you’ll be ready to make an offer.
Your Hearth & Home Sales Representative will provide expert advice on how to prepare your offer but ultimately it’s your offer and all the decisions are yours.
Your Hearth & Home Sales Representative will arrange to have your offer presented to the Seller through the listing agent and advise you if they accept, reject or counter your offer and provide you with good advice you will need to proceed.
If your offer is accepted, the next steps are closing and moving into your new home once all conditions are met. If your offer is rejected and another offer was accepted, then it’s time to continue your search. If you offer is countered, you can accept their counter offer, reject it, or make a counter proposal of your own. Your sales representative will guide through each of these scenarios.
Once your offer has been accepted, the Stables Team, will monitor the progression of your offer, ensuring that all conditions are met on time and ensuring things progress properly until closing.
