Tracey Boorman, your local Kelowna Realtor

At your side every step of the way, I will make the process of purchasing a home easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming, and less expensive than if you were to undertake this challenge on your own. I will help prepare you to be perceived by sellers as a preferred buyer, help you locate and assess properties for sale which match your specifications, and navigate you through the myriad of details attending to the actual purchase.

When purchasing a home, you are faced with many decisions and I believe it's my job to step you through this process painlessly.

Next, what kind of home would you like and what area are you interested in? Be specific. Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific. Consider area (city, suburb, country); community (north, south, east, or west side); neighborhood (older and settled or sparkling new; a particular school zone; recreational facilities; and other community services such as transportation, day care, library, stores, entertainment). Ask yourself how many minutes you are willing to commute to work.

Think about home styles. How much space do you need? Does your situation require a one-level home, or are stairs acceptable? Consider size and type of property. Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up? Consider how long you expect to live in this particular home. Make sure to create a list of "must haves" and "want to haves", and keep those items separate so we can determine their priority rate as we view properties together.

Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage specialist. This can be done over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.

I will refer you to a qualified mortgage professional with an excellent reputation and track record for successfully acquiring competitive rate loan approvals for every client.

Once you've been pre-qualified and know what price range you want to stay in, I will help you determine which properties best fit your needs by using the parameters you have defined above (your action items) and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system. Together we make a formidable team!
