Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the process to purchasing a home in the Greater Toronto Area.
Question 1: How much can I afford when buying a home?
Your affordability depends on your income, savings, debts, credit score, down payment, interest rate, and monthly carrying costs. A mortgage pre-approval is one of the best first steps because it gives you a clearer budget before you start viewing homes.
Question 2: Do I need a mortgage pre-approval before looking at properties?
Yes, it’s strongly recommended. A pre-approval helps you understand your price range, shows sellers you’re a serious buyer, and can help you move faster when the right property becomes available..
Question 3: What costs should I expect besides the purchase price?
Buyers should budget for closing costs, land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, home inspection fees, moving costs, property insurance, and possible adjustments for taxes, utilities, or condo fees.
Question 4: What happens after my offer is accepted?
After acceptance, you’ll typically complete any conditions, such as financing or inspection, provide your deposit, we work with your lawyer and lender, arrange insurance, complete the final walkthrough, and prepare for closing day.
TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"Service Above Expectations"
"We got out of our house and purchased a home in the community where we wanted to be. I know many people that haven’t had that kind of success. Thanks again for everything!"
- Annette Campagnaro
"Client Care Delivered"
"We were first-time buyers, and Danny Macedo made the whole process feel manageable, even exciting. Anytime we panicked or had questions, Danny or someone on his team got back to us fast, and they alwa ys took the time to explain our options."
- Jenny Roberts
"Trusted Guidance Given"
"Danny’s pricing guidance was spot-on, and he explained the neighborhood comps in a way that actually made sense, so we listed confidently. The best part was the negotiation, because he created momentum with multiple offers, pushed terms that protected us."
