This wonderful family was referred to me at the start of their home ownership adventure. They wished to remain in the Coquitlam area so their teenagers would be able to continue in the same schools, and maintain their friendships.

They didn’t expect to find the home of their dreams as quickly as they did, but when we viewed this property, they knew it was the one.

They are so happy in their spacious new home, it provides everyone in this close-knit family enough privacy and a backyard retreat to enjoy warm summer days together. It even has a fantastic workshop for when the desire occurs, and, in walking distance to …. well, just about everywhere.

If you are looking to make the move, let’s start with a coffee and a chat to start your home ownership journey

This young father contacted me a couple years ago, long before he thought he would purchase a home for his growing family.

We discussed their Needs and Wants, mortgage approval, home ownership accounts, ways to improve credit, and how to obtain the ever so important deposit.

We viewed homes in many areas of Greater Vancouver, this allowed them to see what they could purchase in different locations, and whether the schools and transit would work for their lifestyle.

They made an offer on a cute place in Surrey which didn’t get accepted, so we continued to search, and search, and search. In the end they purchased a lovely home one block from their current rental, allowing their son to remain in the same school catchment, maintain the same friends, and continue with his martial arts.

It is never too early to get your ducks in a row to obtain home ownership, you may want to consider putting any extra money (no matter how little) into your RRSP. This will give you a tax break, and you’ll still be able to withdraw the money after 90 days for your new home purchase.

Never say Never

A close friend mentioned that a young family she knew, was being evicted from their home.

Understandably, the family was quite upset as the kids attended the local school, have friends in the area, sports nearby and all the amenities they have grown to rely on.

I met with the lovely family and discussed various options to them, and realized they could obtain the minimum down payment to purchase their own home. A home where they could build equity, and be a stepping stone for their growing family.

It’s not their forever home, but it would be THEIR HOME, a place where they can make memories, new connections and a great home base for everything a family needs. 

They love their new area and the schools are perfect, the kids are thriving, and the parks are beautiful.

They now sleep well at night knowing they will not get evicted again, they can paint the kids rooms and hang pictures without any repercussions – THIS IS THEIR HOME

And, a very positive added bonus is after the mortgage, taxes and maintenance fees, they are paying LESS per month than they were when renting.

Lets grab a coffee and start your journey.
