Home Buying Guide

Your Path to Buying in Westman

From your first conversation with us to the day you get the keys, here's exactly what working with a Century 21 Westman Realty Ltd. sales representative looks like, step by step.

Getting Started

Before you tour a single home, we make sure you're set up to move quickly and with confidence when the right one shows up.

Buyer Information Session: We sit down for a detailed needs assessment to learn what matters most to you throughout the home buying process.
Buyer Agency Alternatives: We walk you through the alternatives for agency representation that are available to you.
Buyer Representation Agreement: We present and explain the buyer representation agreement, along with the special services and benefits it offers.
Home Buying Process: We explain the entire home buying process up front and guide you through every step, so when you find the right home, you're ready to make an informed decision.
Financial Pre-Approval: We arrange a pre-qualification or pre-approval with a reputable lender to identify your comfortable price range, review your mortgage options, and strengthen your negotiating position.
Our Network: As one of the largest real estate organizations, represented in over 80 countries, we put our network to work for you, aiming to show you properties as they debut or before they hit the market.

Finding & Evaluating a Home

Once we know what you're looking for, we narrow the market down to homes that actually fit and look closely at each one before you commit.

Property Showing: We show you properties that meet your search criteria, and with your permission, a few options you may not have considered, offering an unbiased view of each one.
Property Evaluation: We discuss the features of each property that may affect its value and future resale.
Property Inspections: We recommend a professional inspection to identify any construction issues, including electrical, insulation, and heating.
Property Disclosure: We review all inspection reports and other documents on the property's condition, and answer your questions about any known physical defects.
Review of Seller's Disclosure: We thoroughly review any written seller's disclosure with you, so you can accept or specify a remedy for each fault disclosed, ideally addressed in the offer to purchase.
Appraisal Conditions: We explain your options for adding an appraisal condition to your offer to purchase.

Making an Offer & Closing

When you've found the one, we handle the numbers, the paperwork, and the negotiation so you can focus on the move.

Home Warranty: We explain the option of a home warranty plan, where available, to reduce your risk of repair costs after you take possession.
Estimate of Funds Required: We provide a preliminary estimate of closing costs and down payment requirements for the transaction.
Offer Preparation: We prepare a written offer on the property you choose, with terms and conditions you approve.
Offer Presentation: We present your purchase offer directly to the seller, where appropriate, alongside the listing representative.
Walk-Through: We accompany you on a thorough walk-through of the property before closing, and help resolve any issues that come up.
Closing the Sale: We monitor and keep you informed on the progress of the purchase agreement, including every condition, through to the end of the transaction.

After the Sale

Our relationship doesn't end at closing. We're still here once the keys are in your hand.

After-Sale Service: We follow up with you after closing on any remaining details or service needs.
Service Satisfaction Survey: We give you a confidential opportunity to evaluate our service.
Ongoing Follow-Up: We stay in touch with information relevant to your purchase or the local market. Reach out any time with questions about your property or neighbourhood.
