Buying with Jake LockWood

Choices, always choices! Buying a home in Victoriaville, or anywhere else for that matter, involves a host of decisions. How much to invest? How much should you budget for maintenance, taxes or renovations? An extra bedroom or a finished basement? Does the neighborhood really meet your daily needs?

Take the time to identify your priorities, then evaluate your finances to make sure they match your goals. Your expectations may change as you explore the real estate market in Drummondville, Thetford Mines or Bécancour.

Contact Jake LockWood, your REMAX real estate broker. I'll be with you every step of the way: mortgage pre-approval, criteria adjustment, personalized advice.

Getting pre-approved before visiting properties is a real asset. It demonstrates your seriousness, clarifies your borrowing capacity and helps you plan your payments, taxes and other expenses.

I will review the property and market details with you to ensure we present the most appropriate offer. Your offer contract can encompass elements like the purchase price, earnest money amounts, loan specifications, and your preferred closing date. I will act as your contractual expert, pushing the negotiations forward until an agreement is solidified. An up-to-date pre-approval letter will accompany your offer, reassuring the seller of your commitment to the deal.

Although I will elucidate the terms, always make sure to go through all contracts personally and acquaint yourself with any changes made to the offer. Once your offer gets a nod, the journey to home-ownership begins, with my guidance at every step. Additionally, you'll collaborate with a real estate agent who'll oversee the contract, review inspection items, send over any arising requests, and aid in all documentation leading to a successful close.
