Working With A REALTOR®

Let your Royal LePage Triland REALTOR® do the searching for you. The best buys are not in the newspaper ads; most great opportunities are on "hot sheets" that are available every morning to REALTORS® with access to the MLS® system.

Your Royal LePage Triland REALTOR® Will:

• Provide information on the property and the area
  Negotiate a price and terms that are agreeable to both buyer and seller
  Help arrange a source of financing

As a homebuyer, you must work with your agent to find the home that's right for you. Communication is key - tell your Royal LePage Triland agent what you want, and be specific.

• Offer a detailed description of your property needs and wants. If you will absolutely not consider a house without a hardwood floor, say so. And if air conditioning is a "nice to have" rather than a "must have," communicate that, too.
• Be specific about where you want to live. If you refuse to live outside a certain area, it might take longer to find you a home, but your agent will know not to waste your time with anything not in your chosen neighbourhood.
• Sit down with your Royal LePage Triland REALTOR® to determine what you can afford. He or she can help you get a pre-approved mortgage so you know for sure what your price range will be.
• Communicate your likes and dislikes for each property you see. It will help your agent narrow down the possibilities.
• Commit to one Royal LePage Triland REALTOR®.
• Respect and perform the terms of the purchase agreement.
• Keep an open mind. Your Royal LePage Triland REALTOR® knows about those charming little areas that you've never even heard of. You might find your dream home in a completely unexpected place
