Purchasing a home is one of the greatest investments you will ever make. We value your main considerations while we search for your dream home. While each real estate transaction is unique, the Feldberg Team will help you prepare to be a qualified and preferred buyer in the marketplace. To ready you for this, here is a general overview of what to expect during the buying process.
Get Financial Pre-Approval
The first thing you’ll need to do is put money aside for a down payment. At minimum, you will require 5% of the purchase price of your new home. Second, once pre-approved, your lender will be able to advise you of your maximum purchase price when looking for a home. Knowing your financial position gives you greater assurance during negotiations. Please let us know if you need to be referred to a mortgage professional – we are more than happy to make a few suggestions.
Visualize Your Dream Home
This is the fun part! Here you get to think about the type of home that will best suit your lifestyle. How much space do you need? Do you require a one-level home or prefer a two-storey home? Are you thinking of the potentiality of the property and its utility in the future? Consider things like access to schools, recreational facilities, and neighbourhood haunts that you might frequent. The value of location is typically the primary consideration when the search begins. Toronto has a vast array of wonderful neighbourhoods; whether you are looking in Toronto’s urban centre or the suburbs.

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Search
This is the exciting stage! Using the different property search features on our site, in conjunction with other various search engines, you will be able to find available homes at your fingertips. While consulting with us throughout the search process, and making possible modifications to your search criteria, the most up-to-date listing information including price and status changes will be available to you.
Off-Market Exclusive Search
Our motto has always been, ‘why wait for the perfect property to hit the MLS when we could potentially bring a buyer and seller together?’ Hence, the off-market opportunity! Upon entering into the real estate industry, the Feldberg Team recognized that buying a home on the MLS was not the only way to find our clients “their” property. Off-Market homes through door-knocking, cold-calling, direct mail letters as well as collaborating with our trusted network of Realtors® have always been important tools in the off-market quest. We are known in the industry to have a flair for making exclusive transactions happen and have consistently done so on a year-over-year basis.
The End Game
This is such an exciting time! You can be rest assured that besides finding the perfect home for you, our careful Offer creation and strong negotiating tactics to get you the best possible price is just as important! The top priority of the Feldberg Team is to make sure that your home buying experience is pleasant, cost-efficient, and successful. There is no greater thrill as Real Estate professionals to see the positive outcome of a great purchase! If you are happy – we are happy.
