Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from home buyers

Do I need to pay for a buyer's agent?

No! In Nova Scotia, the seller typically pays both the listing agent's and buyer agent's commission. My services are free to you as a buyer.

Should I get pre-approved before looking at homes?

Yes! Pre-approval shows sellers you're a serious buyer and helps you understand your budget. It also speeds up the process when you find the right home.

How long does it take to buy a home?

Once you find the right property, the typical timeline from offer to closing is 30-60 days. However, finding the perfect home can take anywhere from a few days to several months depending on the market and your criteria.

What areas do you cover?

I specialize in Halifax Regional Municipality and the South Shore of Nova Scotia, including Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, Chester, Bridgewater, and surrounding areas.
