There are many variables involved in buying and selling real estate and some can be overlooked if you don’t have the right people to help with every step along the way.

2 - Mortgage Specialist

A mortgage specialist is key in any new home purchase. While getting the best mortgage interest rate there will be opportunity to review other options you have to help maximize your financial situation to your benefit.

If you are a First Time Home Buyer in Calgary, getting pre-approved by a mortgage specialist is a must before you begin searching for a new home. It would be unfortunate if you found a home you loved, only to find out that your mortgage approval was for less than you expected or you were not comfortable with the payment details.
