MORTGAGE An Important First Glimpse

For a vast majority of buyers cash purchase of a home is out of reach. Most buyers need a mortgage.

Incidentally, stating from my past 20+years' experience in real estate sales, most buyers (and many sellers) have very little knowledge of this very special part of real estate transactions! Many have misconceptions that are very damaging. I can not list even 1% of the important points here. However,  I would be very happy to help you in getting good mortgage.

Here's the good news. A 'major Canadian bank' is a good and safe way to get started. Ask for a 'Mortgage Specialist'. The job of 'Mortgage Specialists' is mortgages (and not bank administration, or setting up chequing and savings accounts). Over the years, I have worked with many mortgage brokers, and mortgage specialists. Mortgage specialists will try to get you a good mortgage - and that, by the way, is not just a 'low-interest mortgage' (where you end up paying substantially more in the long run, or, like in  the U.S.,  lose everything). I can arrange for you to meet the mortgage specialist in my office, in their office, or, even at your home.

Please give mortgage pre-approval the top-most priority. In a buying process, Mortgage is the engine. Mortgage pre-approval saves money, time, frustration, and in competitive scenarios, the buyer with a pre-approved mortgage, gains a distinct advantage.

And the best part of it all - mortgage pre-approval costs YOU nothing!!

The Agent you choose is VERY important. Now more than ever before.
Your BEST Agent should have your interest above everything else, and have:
 

·        Best Education (should have at least a university degree) and should continue education related to all aspects of Real Estate, Laws & By-Laws,  Mortgage Financing, Building Standards, Negotiating techniques, etc.

·        Experience and Ethics as a full time professional in all types of Real Estate transactions and ownership (by the Agent himself) in the trading areas (city, municipality, region, province, country).

·        Sincerity – to the highest degree – no compromise, validated by referrals from clients, peers, colleagues, etc.

·     Toughness to tell the truth – even if it doesn’t appear pleasant.

      A Cautionery Note: Even if you are not currently buying or selling, if you own a home (or other property) and if there's no mortgage or low mortgage, fraudsters will attempt to put a big motgage, pocket the money and vanish.  These threats are REAL !

    • Call me for more details. I will help you get insurance against this type of fraud and many other defects and deficiencies (i.e., no survey, or old survey, or lawyers error, or boundary dispute and more). The fee is very small. Call me at 416-J0Y-TRIM (=416-509-8746)

        Real Estate transactions involve hundreds of thousands of your hard-earned money. Therefore, it is immensely important that you get good Advice and HELP.

      (A word of caution - don't get carried away by 'free advice' from aquaintances or associates, barbers or bartenders, colleagues or cousins, dentist, the 'ex', friends, relatives and so on. Free advice most often is cheap and that's what it is - cheap advice and they can be very damaging).

       "Education is a successive realization of our own ignorance" - Author unknown


      Good Advice and HELPconsist of four components: 

    • Honesty and Integrity,

    • Experience and Education (serving since 1987; M.Sc. Geo)  
    • Loyalty,
    • Professionalism,
      I offer all of the above. ..call me .. check for yourself ! 

      I have a vast network of past clients, friends and acquaintances, and other Real Estate Agents and Brokers, etc. I get clients from all parts of the world.

      The buyers for this home came from overseas with limited time and many challenging requirements.

      I helped them (with my 20 years' experience) in:

    • Selecting the right location ( focusing on their vey unique needs)

    • The right type, size, no. of bedrooms, upgrades and improvements, etc., to suite their wishes and special requirements

    • Arranging their lawyer and many special legal documents

    • Arranging their mortgage, home inspection, home security, maintenance contractor, waiver of all conditions, and a myriad of other items.

      Now they are absolutely delighted that they purchased a home worth over half-a-million dollars in three weeks time, that fits their wish list like hand-in-glove.
