An Explanation of the Process I will not take it for granted that you know all the ins and outs of the buying/ selling process. Instead, I will provide you with a full explanation of what to expect and what's important in the process.  This way, you’re not faced with any surprises along the journey toward your new Oakville home. An Assessment of Your Needs One of the first questions a good Oakville real estate agent will ask is: Why are you moving?  Additionally, I will also explore any time constraints you might have (perhaps imposed by the need to relocate for employment), your financial situation and any of your future plans.

A Plan to Find Your Oakville Dream Home

I will help you identify what you want and need in your new Oakville home. A pool? A garage? An extra room? A particular building design? What about the neighbourhood? Proximity to schools or work? I will compare your needs, wants and budget with what is available on the market and make recommendations that save you time and effort.

I will also accompany you as you view houses and help you assess their suitability and price. As an expert on Oakville real estate, I can provide facts on the neighbourhoods, the cost of heating, the condition of the furnace, and so on. In other words, I will work with you to achieve your dream of owning your new Oakville home.

Access to Properties for Sale

The Multiple Listing Service® or MLS® is an exclusive service accessible only through a REALTOR® and it is a tremendously valuable tool. Through the MLS®, the details of a wide selection of Oakville real estate are made available to the REALTOR® you work with.  The information supplied to me via the MLS® on Oakville homes for sale is far more comprehensive than what is found on REALTOR.CA®.  This fact alone can save you a tremendous amount of time, effort, and ultimately money, in your hunt for the right Oakville home.

If you are interested in learning about what is available on the market please check out my Oakville Listings page, which enables you to preview properties for sale.

Knowledge of Financing Options

I have extensive knowledge of the financing choices available to Oakville, Ontario home buyers, and can help you obtain financing at the most attractive prevailing rates and terms.

A Skilled Negotiator I have extensive experience in negotiating advantageous deals for my Oakville real estate clients. I will assist in negotiating an offer, acting as a mediator to head off potential conflicts between you and the seller, and draw up a legally binding agreement. Honesty and Integrity Most, although not all,  real estate professionals in our province are member of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA).  Only members of OREA can call themselves REALTORS®.  I am a full member of OREA, along with holding membership in several local Real Estate Boards: The Oakville, Milton District Real Estate Board (OMDREB), The Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) and The REALTORS Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).  This extensive board membership allows me access to MLS® information that is not available to the vast majority of other Oakville real estate agents. When you work with me, you can expect not only strict adherence to provincial laws, but also adherence to a stringent Professional Code of Ethics.  The Code of Ethics is very important to you as my it assures you will receive the highest level of service, honesty and integrity.  This assurance is my highest commitment to you, my valued client.

Highest Professional Standards

Before receiving a real estate license, candidates must successfully complete an extensive course of study developed by OREA on behalf of the Real Estate Council Ontario. That is only the beginning: in the first two years of practice, licensees are required to successfully complete three additional courses as part of their articling with an experienced broker. In addition, all licensees must continue to attend courses throughout their careers in order to maintain their license.  

I have made a significant investment in my real estate career by attending several training courses which are NOT mandatory with the Real Estate Council of Ontario.  These courses involve sales and marketing techniques which are far above and beyond what is taught at the basic level.  With this training and experience, I am able to offer Leading Edge Real Estate Solutions, to successfully and quickly market Oakville homes for top dollar, and to find Oakville real estate for my Buying Clients at the best possible price.
