We understand that purchasing a home is possibly the largest investment that you may ever make. It is exciting, a little scary and when we find you the perfect home, 'you will just know' it's the one. We understand that finding a home may take one day and it may take 2 years and we are committed to taking the necessary time. We are no pressure professionals.
As your buyer's agent we owe certain duties to you as a home buyer; such as care, confidentiality, and full disclosure. We will share valuable and essential information with you during the whole process. Information and knowledge is key.
Examples of information we will gather include.
- When do they want or need to move?
- How long has the home been on the market?
- What are the pros and cons about the home?
- What have other homes sold for in the area?
Most importantly, you'll have peace of mind knowing a professional advocate is working for you and your best interests only. You need representation in any real estate transaction. Offers are complicated, legally binding and can go very, very wrong if not written and presented by the right professional.
THEJACKIEREIDTEAM are sharp negotiators with experience and knowledge. Sometimes the difference between a sound investment and one that will yield very little return could be as small as what side of the street it is on. You can trust that we know Greater Vancouver like the back of our hands.

Some costs associated with purchasing a home are:
- Land Transfer Tax = 1% of the first $200K and 2% of the balance of the sale price of your home is due to the provincial government upon completion. There is no charge for first time home owners if you purchase a home under $425K.
- Lawyer or Notary Fees: You will need to hire either of these professionals to convey the property for you. The fees with change depending on who you use. Set aside $1000.00 for this (it may be less).
- If you are buying a brand new home, HST will apply after July 2010 and GST will apply before this. This is complicated and speaking with your accountant would be prudent.
- Moving costs: Truck rental or moving company fees, move in fees for some condo buildings will apply.
