“As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions, but Chelsea and Gene walked us through every step with patience and confidence. They explained everything clearly, advocated for us, and were always one step ahead.”
Read Their Story“As first-time home buyers in Canada, we had very little knowledge about the process, but Gene and Chelsea guided us every step of the way. They were patient, supportive, and attentive.”
See Their Experience“All the late night chats explaining real estate 101 made us so comfortable with purchasing our dream home. By the time we were done, we felt like they were not only our REALTORS®, but also our friends.”
View Success StoryBuying a home comes with a lot of questions. These are some of the ones we hear most often from buyers across Kingston and the surrounding area.
We recommend getting pre-approved before you begin touring homes. A pre-approval helps you understand your budget, strengthens your position when it is time to make an offer, and keeps your search focused on homes that fit your financial comfort zone.
The amount you need depends on the purchase price and the type of property you are buying. Many buyers can purchase with less than 20% down, but your mortgage professional will help confirm what applies to your situation.
Buyers should plan for closing costs such as legal fees, land transfer tax, title insurance, adjustments, moving expenses, and inspection costs when applicable. We help you understand these numbers early so there are fewer surprises later.
You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. In fact, connecting early can help you understand the process, avoid common mistakes, and build a search strategy before you fall in love with a home.
Once your offer is accepted, we help you work through the next steps, including conditions, financing, inspections, deposits, paperwork, lawyer communication, and closing timelines. You will always know what needs to happen next.
That is completely okay. Some of our best buyer relationships start months before someone is ready to make a move. We are happy to answer questions, help you understand the market, and give you a plan so you know what to work toward.
Whether you are six months away from buying or already have homes picked out, we are happy to answer your questions, talk through your goals, and help you decide what makes sense for you. No pressure. Just honest advice.
