The Buying Process
Step-by-Step

As investors, we know what you need and how to support you best. We make real estate investing hassle free. With over 20 years of industry experience, we are veterans who are trained to guide you through the entire process.

We take pride in meeting our clients one on one to ensure everyone's investment strategy is tailored to their needs and goals. We spend a considerable amount of time getting to know our clients and their goals holistically while educating them on their investment decisions.

After getting to know our clients and their needs, we're then able to start our recommendations.

We maliciously vet our project offerings based on a variety of factors: location, price, quality of developer, completion date, layout, and overall quality of build. Instead promoting every project within the GTA, we only select a handful. Our team spends countless hours doing market research on projects and their viability. With over 20 years of experience, we know first hand through experience that picking the right project and right property is key to being successful as a real estate investor.

Our longstanding relationships with builders and developers ensures we get the best deals for our clients. We contact them directly to negotiate exclusive allocations and incentives. Once we secure an allocation, we match our clients to properties we feel are a good fit.

Once a client decides on a property, the builder will conduct a signing for the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS). Most signings are done virtually, however some still require in person signing at their sales office.

The APS you receive will have already been reviewed and amended (if applicable) by the brokerage's lawyer. This is important because every builder is different - thus the terms and conditions need to be reviewed for every project. We take the extra step to ensure the APS signed by our clients is fair to our clients.

Following the APS, we will arrange for pickup and delivery of your deposits. Deposits are typically required to be in certified cheque or bank draft format.

The builder will next notify you of the property's occupancy date. During the occupancy period, the builder still owns the property but is allowing you to occupy the property - similar to a tenant. You will pay a monthly occupancy fee which is determined closer to the occupancy date.

Before occupying, the builder will invite you to a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) which is conducted by a third party. You can opt to have that third party to complete it on your behalf if you're unable to make it. During this inspection you'll test all the appliances, lighting and plumbing. You'll also note any other deficiencies - even the cosmetic ones. The builder will then be responsible for remediating them during the occupancy period.

You'll visit your lawyer to finalize the occupancy closing. We ensure that during this occupancy time, our clients are allowed to lease the unit to another tenant. Our brokerage is fully equipped to take on the leasing process or some clients opt to use their own listing agents.

Following, the builder will schedule an appointment for the key pickup. If you're using our property management service, we'll do this for you.
