BUYERS

MERRITT Buyers Resources

Throughout my Real Estate career, I have been able to amass a diverse and qualified list of industry professionals to have at your disposal. They come from various sectors of the industry and can help you at every stage of your buying journey. These resources are available upon request and include:

THE BUYING PROCESS

Navigating the real estate market can be daunting at the best of times. As your buyer agent I will guide you through the steps of analyzing the market, selecting properties to view and the preparation of an offer containing the relevant clauses and conditions.

BUYERS ASSESSMENT

This is where I sit down with clients to collect the wants, needs and goals you are pursuing with a property in Haliburton or Muskoka. You may have a preference for a particular lake, type of shoreline, size of lot or proximity to a town, investment vs personal use- there's a lot of criteria to filter through!

MARKET ANALYSIS

After an initial discussion I will prepare a market presentation to discuss where in Haliburton County your criteria can be found. I will explain the different zoning bylaws so that any changes to the property you want to make, build or explore can be clearly understood.

VIEWING

The fun part! Viewing the properties and filtering through all the possible options. After assessing your interests, property criteria and the local market, we will filter through a list of property matches and set times to view each of them at your discretion.

PROPERTY ANALYSIS

After viewing enough properties that you are able to compile a short list of great matches, I will help guide you through analyzing the properties in order to narrow your choices. In this stage we will revisit your interests, property criteria and the local market to zone in on "the winner".

OFFER

Finally making that offer on your property of choice. Once you have decided on a winner, we will discuss the offer amount while taking into consideration your budget, current market trends and the target property. Once we have agreed upon an offer amount, you leave the rest to me. I will negotiate with the seller and secure you that dream property!

THE FOLLOWUP

Once the offer is made and accepted, that's not the last you'll hear from me. You can count on me to be available to help ensure the closing of the sale runs as smooth as possible. I always like to follow-up with my clients down the road as well to see how they are enjoying their new property, because after all we're neighbors.
