This is my specialty! Assisting immigrants in finding the best house for your family and circumstances is my forte and my passion. Having immigrated to Canada myself, I’m aware of the stresses involved in changing countries. I know there are many decisions to be made. Buying a new home will help you settle faster into a new area and that is where I come in.
I have a passion for houses and for helping people. I enjoy the challenge of matching buyers to the right house. Focused on giving personal service to immigrants, I’m able to utilize the knowledge I’ve gained from fulfilling requirements and completing procedures personally. Qualified as a London Ontario Real Estate Agent, I’m able to offer you the benefit of local experience.
Let me do the hard work for you
I like to build a relationship with my clients to assist every step of the way. You can trust me to find the best home for you, tailored to suit your needs, pocketbook and taste. Buying in a new country can be daunting. Being unaware of local legalities, taxes and value of properties in the area could lead to costly mistakes. I’ll be able to advise about the items to include in your budget, such as legal fees and taxes on land transfers.
I can also give insight into areas that may fit your individual needs including the right school district. Once we’ve discussed the type of home you’re after and your needs, we’ll investigate several options that may be a match. I’ve a working knowledge of different construction styles and prices of houses in various areas of London, Ontario. We can match your taste and budget as far as possible right from the start.
Immigrant purchases made easy
Every situation is different. Unless you’re in a position to pay cash for your house, you may require a rental when you first arrive. Renting first will build up your credit score. This helps you obtain a mortgage pre-approval, giving you an indication of your buying power. It’s possible to obtain a mortgage without a credit history. However, pre-approval will entitle you to better interest rates and probably a better mortgage offer. An important factor to consider is household insurance. This will be based on the type and size and location of your purchase. This needs to form part of your monthly budget.
I’ll be advising on affordable areas based on an overview of your buying power and your personal budget. It’s possible to arrange an inspection of a property before the completion of the sale. This allows checking for any repairs which may be necessary to avoid hidden costs.
Your happiness is my goal
Canada is a popular country to immigrate to. Offering a choice of gorgeous countryside as well as cities that are both clean and modern. To assist in your house search, I’ll be able to advise on demographics, schools, transportation and the amenities in neighbourhoods in London, Ontario. Several viewings will be arranged. As we all know, at the first sight of a house, you can be swayed by the furnishings and fittings. Making an emotional connection can also see you missing obvious problems.

Immigrant Estate Agent
