Buying a home
should feel exciting.

Let's find you the one. I'll handle the details so you can focus on falling in love with the right place.

Let's Start Your Search
01

Let's Have a Conversation

Before we look at a single listing, we talk. What are you looking for? What's your timeline? What are your non-negotiables? This is where I learn what "home" means to you.

02

Get Pre-Approved

I'll connect you with trusted mortgage specialists in Regina who can get you pre-approved quickly — so you know your real budget and show up as a serious buyer.

03

The Search

I'll set you up on a personalized MLS search and we'll tour properties together. I'll point out what you might miss and tap my network for off-market opportunities too.

04

Making an Offer

Found the one? I'll research comparable sales, advise on price and conditions, and craft a competitive offer. I'll explain every line before you sign anything.

05

Conditions & Inspection

I coordinate the inspection, help you understand the report, and negotiate repairs or adjustments if needed. Protecting you is always the priority.

06

Closing Day

Your lawyer handles the legal transfer, you sign the final documents, and you get the keys. I'll be there to celebrate — and I'm still available after move-in if you need anything.

First-Time Buyers

Never bought before?
That's my specialty.

No condescension, no assuming you know the jargon, no rushing. We'll move at a pace that builds your confidence — and I'll make sure you're taking advantage of every first-time buyer program, down payment incentive, and RRSP Home Buyers' Plan option available to you.

Common Questions

Things buyers ask me
all the time

How much do I need for a down payment?

In Canada, the minimum down payment is 5% for homes under $500,000. For homes between $500K and $1M, it's 5% on the first $500K and 10% on the remainder. Above $1M, the minimum is 20%. I'll connect you with a mortgage specialist who can walk through your specific situation.

How long does the buying process take?

It varies. Some buyers find their home in two weeks, others take a few months. The search timeline depends on the market and how specific your criteria are. From accepted offer to closing, you're typically looking at 30 to 60 days.

Do I need to pay you as the buyer's agent?

In most cases, no. The seller's brokerage typically covers the buyer's agent commission as part of the transaction. I'll be upfront about how compensation works in any deal we pursue together.

Should I sell my current home before buying?

It depends on your situation, the market, and your risk tolerance. Some people buy first, some sell first, and some manage both simultaneously with a condition of sale. Let's talk through your specific situation, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.

What neighbourhoods in Regina should I consider?

That entirely depends on what matters to you. Families often love Harbour Landing, Greens on Gardiner, or Lakeridge. Young professionals tend to gravitate toward Cathedral, Lakeview, or the Crescents. I know this city well and can help you find where you'll actually want to live, not just what you can afford.
