Your first purchase deserves extra care.
Most of my buyers are buying for the first time or moving up to make room for a growing family. I'll walk you through the FHSA, the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan, land transfer tax rebates and every closing cost, so nothing surprises you.
What I check before every offer
- Recent sold prices on the street and nearby
- How long similar homes have been sitting
- Listing history and price changes
- Status certificate for condos
- Inspection items worth negotiating
- School zones, transit and future development

How much do I need for a down payment in Ontario?
For homes under $1.5 million, the minimum is 5% of the first $500,000 and 10% of the portion above that. Homes at $1.5 million or more need at least 20% down.
What closing costs should I budget for?
Plan for roughly 1.5% to 4% of the purchase price on top of your down payment. Land transfer tax is the largest item, plus legal fees, title insurance, inspection and adjustments.
Do I pay a buyer's agent?
In most Ontario purchases, the buyer agent's commission is paid out of the sale through the listing brokerage. We review exactly how it works in your Buyer Representation Agreement before you sign anything.
