Buying questions, answered
Do I need a mortgage pre-approval before viewing homes?
It isn't required to start looking, but a pre-approval tells you your budget and makes your offer stronger. I can connect you with local lenders to get started.
What closing costs should I budget for in Nova Scotia?
Plan for the municipal deed transfer tax (the rate depends on the municipality), legal fees, property tax and fuel adjustments, a home inspection and home insurance. I'll help you estimate these for any home you're considering.
What should I know about buying a home with a well and septic system?
Many rural homes around St. Margaret's Bay use private wells and septic systems. Common offer conditions include a water quality and quantity test and a septic inspection, and I'll help you arrange both.
How does a buyer's agent get paid?
How your brokerage is paid is set out in a buyer brokerage agreement. I'll walk you through it clearly before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you help if I'm moving to Nova Scotia from away?
Yes. I help families relocating to the South Shore with virtual showings, community information and a clear plan for buying from a distance.
