The biggest challenge is understanding where you want to live.  First, I'll send you a package on Winnipeg, and then we'll do a phone interview so I can better understand your needs.  I'll ask questions like:

 

Do you want a new home or older, character home?
Would you like a neighborhood with old trees, or do you care?
Do you have a family?
Where will you be working?
What recreational activities do you like?  Do you want a neighborhood suited for walking or bike riding?
Try my Virtual Tour!  I've written a summary of the different areas in the city.  Reading it will give you an idea of where you might want to live.  

 

I understand that time is at a premium -- normally just days or hours are available to get a feeling for the city and to choose a house you'd like to buy.  Based on the answers you've given me, I'll set up a tour of the city.  Living here for 50 years has given me a pretty good idea of what you'll need to know to make your decision.  The tour will include lunch stops and dinner stops, both so you can get a feeling for the restaurants and to provide some time to think and regroup.  It's common that on the first day of tour you'll have your heart set on a short list of houses.

 

A second visit to the short list of houses helps you narrow down the list further.  Once you've decided, I'll take you through the offer process.  We can complete it over the phone with fax machines -- you don't need to be in the city.  It's my job to take care of it as your buyer's agent.

If you're ready to move on to the first step, give me a call or fill out my online form.  I'll contact you and we can get the ball rolling.
