Knowing what you are looking for – and why – is vital to guiding the home buying process. We work with you to understand your lifestyle and budget, establishing the groundwork for our search. We listen carefully, and ask the right questions to ensure we understand your needs, both today and in the future. To connect your goals with our market, we will review current market conditions with you based on neighbourhood, condo type, and price point.
It is important to us that you feel in control and have everything you need to feel confident each step of the way. With knowing your goals, experience with real estate, and how you want to receive information, we will customize our unique Vancouver Condo Buyers System to perfectly achieve your needs. Less experienced condo buyers can benefit from most of the system components while more experienced buyers may opt for only in-person service.
You will be amazed by how easy buying a condo can be.

If you will require a mortgage, we always recommend becoming pre-approved before beginning your home-buying process. We can connect you with professionals who will help you find the right mortgage for you, whether it is at your current financial institution or another. Once you are pre-approved, it will make the search for your new home much simpler, as we can target the right homes and help you make a better offer. You will also save time and have less pressure when the time comes to finalize your purchase.
As with any major investment, knowing the total costs for your condo is important to avoid unwelcome surprises. We will make sure you understand your costs at time of purchase as well as your ongoing costs. For instance, if you hear of someone being surprised by a large expense, it’s likely the Property Transfer Tax payable at time of purchase.
While it is useful to know your maximum budget, it is more important to identify your comfortable budget. Purchasing a condo that overextends you will cause stress and potentially damage your financial health. We will remind you to plan for future expenses such as getting married or changes in income.
We help our clients to prepare for the future and avoid unwelcome surprises.

We bring technology together with deep experience and impeccable service to make finding your dream home simple. To focus on the most promising listings, we activate searches specific to your criteria so we see new listings before they hit public websites. Alternatively, you can use JasonHutchison.ca to search all MLS listings and set-up auto-notifications so corresponding new listings are emailed to you. Both options save you time and keep you ahead of other buyers as our website draws listings directly from MLS.
When a listing interests you, we will coordinate a time for us to view it together as soon as possible. We will point out the advantages and disadvantages of each property and explain the differences between buildings and neighbourhoods. Our goal is to identify any potential issues up front so there are no surprises after you move in. As when we worked with clients such as Bruce Munro Wright, we can also preview the property and discuss our thoughts with you so you can choose whether to view it personally.
You are not just looking for a home, you are looking for your dream, so it is important to us that you never feel pressured. We will dedicate the time required to find the right home for you

We bring our integral expertise to the offer process, providing careful guidance not only on price, but deposits, dates, and subject clauses as well. We will review your options based on whether there are competing offers or not. For instance, if there will be competing offers, we will discuss performing (not eliminating) your due diligence ahead of submitting your offer to make your offer as strong as possible.
We want to make sure you feel completely comfortable and fully understand every detail of your offer. With less experienced buyers, we recommend we meet in-person to create your offer and review the process in detail. Past experienced clients have opted to discuss the offer by phone and then signing it via email using our digital signature software for expediency.
We then carefully present your offer, taking the challenges out of negotiation so you can focus on looking forward to your new home.

This is one of the steps where our meticulous service is clearly evident and of exceptional value. We simplify the sea of information and due diligence tasks into a straightforward schedule and actively assist you in achieving each task. Before finalizing your purchase, final tasks typically include reviewing strata documents, securing your mortgage, and contracting a building inspection.
Instead of providing you a large stack of strata documents and just asking if you are satisfied with them, we will review and provide you with our detailed thoughts on each document. As part of our working to eliminate any future unpleasant surprises, we will help estimate costs, including special assessments and vacant home tax, throughout your ownership window. We will work with both your mortgage professional and building inspector and, as always, we will be available to you via electronically and in-person.
Prior to confirming your purchase, we put all the information into perspective so you can decide whether the condo is right for you. If it is, fantastic and we move onto the next step. If not, we simply find another condo better suited to your goals. We are only satisfied if you purchase the right home for you.

We will help make your possession day a happy, exciting, and stress-free one. We will be there to walk you through your new home for the first time, making sure it is ready for you to move in. Once you are settled in your new home, our assistance continues.
We pride ourselves on our after purchase care and will be here to answer your questions, find contractors for any work you have, and even attend your AGMs as your proxy. We hope you will not hesitate to reach out to us for anything you may need.
We look forward to seeing your smile when you move into your new home!
