Be in Control – Next Steps Guides

There is quite a bit of work to do to successfully buy your dream home. At critical milestones, we provide our clients with Next Steps Emails listing exactly what they need to focus on. This helps them stay in control and productive all the way through to setting-up their new home. Our clients don’t wake-up at night worried about whether they missed a step.


Know What You’re Buying – 50+ Point Written Review

You need to fully understand what you’re buying as it’s crucial to your lifestyle and financial health. This includes knowing how well the strata corporation functions, whether there’s major upcoming work, whether there’ll be special levies, if the bylaws allow for how you want to use the home plus many, many other considerations.

This isn’t an AI generated report with misleading comparisons. Jason reads the strata documents himself to be able to provide his clients with an accurate understanding.


Guides and Checklists

Alongside you and we’ll use guides when appropriate to focus our work. Being informed of new listings and price changes is crucial. You will see listings on JasonHutchison.ca before they are on other websites as we have a contract in place to pull listings directly from the real estate board rather than an intermediary. To make it easy, we will set-up a system so you are emailed new listings matching your criteria. If you prefer, we will be happy to pre-screen new listings and only send you those that are most promising.
