Needs vs wants: location, bedrooms, commute, schools, lifestyle.
Viewing plan: shortlist homes and tour efficiently.
Due diligence: inspection, financing, condo/strata docs (if applicable).
Offer + negotiation: conditions, dates, inclusions, deposit.
Remove conditions: only after you’re satisfied with all due diligence.
Closing: lawyer, insurance, final walkthrough, keys.

Condo / “Strata-style” docs to review (important)

If you’re buying a condo (or any property with a condo board / condo fees), reviewing documents is crucial. Here’s what we typically focus on:

Condo fees and what they include
Reserve fund / reserve study (long-term building health)
Bylaws and rules (pets, rentals, renovations, age restrictions)
Special assessments (past or potential)
Insurance coverage and deductible responsibilities
