Calgary Buyers Guide

Step 1: Get Pre-Approved For Your Mortgage 

Shopping without a pre-approval is guessing. You need to know your numbers before you start.

A pre-approval tells you what you can afford, helps you act quickly, and puts you in a stronger position—especially in competitive situations.

You have two options:

• Your bank: one set of products, limited flexibility
• Mortgage broker: access to multiple lenders, more options, often better terms

We typically recommend working with a mortgage broker. They compare rates across 20+ lenders, including major banks, and structure financing based on your situation.

They’ll review your credit, income, and the type of property you’re buying (home vs condo matters), then determine your max purchase…

Is Calgary Real Estate affordable?

The surveys are in! How does location compare to style when purchasing a home?

Two of the most important factors when buying a home are the location, and the style of the home itself. Which one comes out ahead when it comes to purchasing your next home?

Location of a home

We all know the saying 'location, location, location' being one of the biggest mantras in the real estate industry, and it seems very reasonable for most, you can't change the location or what's around it, but you can modify the home itself.

Your location also seems to have the most direct impact on other portions of your day to day life, from your commute to work, what school your kids will attend and grow up in, sports practice, daily recreation (going to the gym, or yoga practice) and even little things like errands you run, or entertainment you…
