The Power of MLS®
Through our Boulevard (BLVD) Real Estate Agency Listing Service sales representatives have 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; real estate brokers have access to homes the minute they become listed in the system.
As your search begins, Amit Sodhi CD , your Local Relocation Expert, 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 Local Relocation real estate broker will provide expert advice on how to prepare your offer but ultimately it’s your offer and all the decisions are yours.
Your BGRS Real Estate Broker 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 Real Estate Broker will guide through each of these scenarios.
Once your offer has been accepted, Amit Sodhi will monitor the progression of your offer, ensuring that all conditions are met on time and ensuring things progress properly until closing.

Step 1: Mortgage Pre-Approval Letter
A mortgage pre-approval letter is essential when buying a home for several reasons:
- Understanding Your Budget: It gives you a clear understanding of how much you can afford to spend on a home. This helps you narrow down your search to properties within your price range.
- Competitive Advantage: In a competitive housing market, having a pre-approval letter shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer who is financially capable of completing the transaction. This can give you an edge over other buyers who haven’t been pre-approved.
- Faster Process: Pre-approval streamlines the mortgage application process. Since the lender has already reviewed your financial information, they can give you a more accurate estimate of the loan amount and interest rate you qualify for. This can help expedite the closing process.
- Negotiating Power: With a pre-approval letter in hand, you can negotiate confidently with sellers. They may be more willing to negotiate on price or other terms knowing that you have your financing lined up.
- Avoiding Disappointment: Without a pre-approval, you might fall in love with a home only to find out later that you can’t secure financing for it. A pre-approval helps prevent this scenario by giving you a realistic idea of what you can afford upfront.
Overall, a mortgage pre-approval letter provides clarity, confidence, and credibility in the home buying process, making it an essential step for most buyers.
