My New Home
Over the years as a rental agent, I have seen many people leave to buy a home or come to rent because they have lost their home. Some have been in transition between homes. I have bought and sold 3 homes over the years and am now in the process of purchasing another home, one I hope will be my final home, a place to retire. What really amazes me is the number of people who just don’t do the homework needed in buying a home. Most people have more knowledge about buying the car they last bought than in making what is possibly the biggest investment of their life.
I am not an expert in real estate, I am an observer and inquirer. I am one who likes to understand the ins and outs before commiting. I will look long and hard for exactly what I want and only accept that which I truly need. I am a sceptic who asks questions. I have given my thoughts and experiences on dealing with real estate agents, financial institutions and banks, house inspection and home inspectors, real estate lawyers and notaries. From looking for a home, to purchase, to closing.
There are many websites with information regarding buying and selling real estate, all written by professionals and most are very good and I have included links to many of the best. They are written from the professional point of view. I want to give an unbiased assessment and summary from the consumer experience and viewpoint.
Whether you are buying a home, selling a home, or just interrested, read it and give me your thoughts.
