BUYING YOUR NEXT HOME

Let us help you every step of the way

When purchasing a home, you'll be faced with a multitude of decisions! Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, so your first goal should be getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Once you've determined that you're ready to begin your home search in earnest, we'll be there to help you along the way!

We are always familiar with the current homes on the market in the Comox Valley, and we can help you determine which properties are right for you.

A real estate transaction has a lot of moving parts.

With my team behind me, we'll make the process of purchasing a home easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming, and less expensive than if you undertook this challenge on your own. We'll help you prepare to be perceived as a preferred buyer, help you locate and assess properties for sale here in the Comox Valley, that match your specifications, and help you through the myriad of details attending the actual purchase.
