Where do you want to live?

Northern Vancouver Island offers so many possiblities that it can be difficult to choose. Are you looking for something in Port Hardy? Would you prefer Port McNeill? Or perhaps you want the quietude of Port Alice. Town centres offer conveniences like nearby schools, shopping, and social activities while rural areas offer some room to play.

What type of home would you like?

Homes come in all shapes and sizes and suit a range of lifestyles. If you have a large family and pets then you probably would like to live in a single family, detached residence. If you’re retired or a single person who is away from time-to-time then a strata development, such as a townhouse or condo, might be more suitable because maintenance is included in the condo fee. Each type of home has its advantages and disadvantages. Let’s have a conversation about your needs and wants.

Do you need to sell your current home?

Unless you’re planning to own two properties at the same time, you’ll need to sell the one you have now; which leads to the question, “Do I buy or sell first?”. Together, we will create a plan to sell your home in the time frame and price target you have in mind. It’s easy to coordinate the purchase and sale of two homes by making a purchase offer conditional to your needs. Let’s talk about how we can improve the transaction by choosing the right season and pricing strategy for your transactions.
