For first time home buyers the buying process can be overwhelming. Getting to know your options, calculating the costs and getting a mortgage pre-approval can jump start your process. Following these four easy steps will increase your confidence and ready you for your first step into home ownership.

1. CONNECT
It’s time to meet with your mortgage broker to discuss your financing options and confirm that you are financially ready to buy a home.

Your broker will discuss mortgage terms and interest rates
and will explain what you must do to ensure that you get approved for a mortgage once you find your home. You will work together to select the right mortgage package that fits
your lifestyle and needs.

3. FIND A HOUSE
Now that you have a clear picture of your finances and
mortgage options, it’s time to start thinking about the kind
of home you want to buy.

4. MAKE AN OFFER & CLOSE THE DEAL
