Kate, Your Sherwood Park Home Search Starts Here!

Hey, totally understand! Sherwood Park is fantastic, but there's a lot to see. Usually, I start by really diving into what's *most* important to you – things like school districts, proximity to parks, maybe a specific type of yard, or if you need a particular feature like a main-floor bedroom. Once we nail those down, I can set up super-targeted searches that filter out the noise and only show you properties that truly fit your needs. Plus, I have access to listings sometimes even before they hit the public MLS, so we'll have a leg up. We'll go over everything together, and I'll make sure we're not overlooking anything promising.

That's a smart question! It's way more than just the mortgage. Besides your down payment and the monthly mortgage payments (including principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance), you'll also need to factor in closing costs (legal fees, land transfer taxes, etc.), inspection fees, and moving expenses. And don't forget ongoing maintenance costs like utilities and potentially things like lawn care or snow removal. I have a great network of mortgage brokers I can connect you with, and they can help you get a really clear picture of all the costs involved so you can feel confident in your budget. We'll also chat about some potential 'what ifs' to make sure you're comfortable with different scenarios.

Exciting! Once we find 'the one,' I'll walk you through every step. We'll carefully analyze comparable sales in the area to determine a fair offer price. I'll then help you craft a strong offer that protects your interests, including any necessary conditions, like a home inspection or financing approval. I'm a skilled negotiator and I'll represent you fiercely to get you the best possible price and terms. I’ll keep you fully informed throughout the entire process, explaining everything clearly and answering all your questions. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way, all the way to a signed agreement!
