Real Broker - Higher Standards - Sales Representatives Know Communities
Your Local Real Estate Expert
Real Broker sales representatives live and work in the communities of buyers and sellers they represent. As a result, sales representatives know area market conditions, including price and availability and have access to current financing and mortgage rates to help ease the stress associated with buying or selling a home.
Real Broker has an extensive training program which also means sales representatives understand the legal complexities associated with a home purchase or sale, including titles, taxes, surveys as well as negotiable parts of a contract — all to help clients secure the best possible terms.
The Power of MLS®
Your Real Broker sales representatives has access to Multiple Listing Services (MLS), an electronic database which offers a host of information on a property, including detailed property features, real estate taxes, and the recent sale prices of homes — tools that can help determine the true value of a home. MLS® information is updated constantly; sales representatives have access to homes the minute they become listed in the system.
As your search begins, your Real Broker Sales Representative 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 Real Broker 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 Real Broker 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, your Real Broker Sales Representative, will monitor the progression of your offer, ensuring that all conditions are met on time and ensuring things progress properly until closing.

Why Use a Mortgage Broker?
Steps to Obtaining a Mortgage
Step 2 Home search Once you receive your pre-approved mortgage amount, work with a Real Estate Agent to find the best home for you within your budgeted price range.
Step 3 Make an offer When you find the home you are interested in, your Real Estate Agent will provide you with the expertise and information you need to make the right offer and protect you from any potential risks or concerns through this process. Together with your Real Estate Agent you will determine the best conditions to include in the offer; we highly recommend that this includes a financing condition; your Real Estate Agent will likely recommend additional conditions such as a home inspection and other items depending on the property itself. At this point you will likely be asked to provide a deposit with your accepted offer.
Step 4 Get approved for your mortgage Once you and the vendor have come to a conditional agreement, you will likely have a certain number of days to waive a financing condition. For an approval we will require a copy of the accepted offer as well as the MLS listing of the property. While you are already pre-approved, it is important that you get a committed approval from a lender to ensure that both YOU and the PROPERTY are approved for financing. This process may require an appraisal to be completed on the property, your Mortgage Agent will inform you of this based on the approval.
Step 5 Waive your conditions to make the offer a “firm offer” After you have satisfied all of your conditions including the financing condition, you will work with your Real Estate Agent to determine if you are going to waive your conditions and finalize the sale. Step 6 Sign your mortgage documents Depending on the length of time of your financing condition, you may sign the mortgage documents before or after you waive your conditions. This is something you will discuss with your Mortgage Broker during the approval process.
