Let Nadia help you every step of the way.
Buying a home is the largest financial transaction most people make. Nadia's job is to make it easier, more enjoyable, less time-consuming and less expensive than doing it alone, and to make sure you never buy the wrong home because someone wanted an easy sale.
Seven steps, in the order that keeps a purchase calm.
- 1
A conversation
Why you are buying, what you must have, what you would like, where, and when. Twenty minutes on the phone or over coffee.
- 2
Pre-approval
Nadia connects you with a mortgage professional she has worked with on real files. You learn your true budget and hold a rate.
- 3
The search
Nadia sets up MLS® alerts tuned to your list, previews candidates, and pulls the listing history, strata documents and sold comparables before you drive across town.
- 4
Showings with opinions
You get a straight answer at every home, including "not this one". No pressure, ever.
- 5
The offer
Price from comparable sales, subjects that protect you, dates and deposit structured for the situation. In multiple offers, strategy matters more than bravado.
- 6
Subject period
Inspection, financing confirmation, strata review. Every document read with you before conditions are removed.
- 7
Completion and keys
Lawyer or notary, funding, final walk-through. Nadia hands you the keys herself.

Buyer questions
Should I get pre-approved before looking at homes?
Yes. A pre-approval tells you what you can borrow, holds a rate, and makes your offer credible to sellers. Nadia can refer you to mortgage professionals she has worked with on real files.
What is the minimum down payment in Canada?
5% on the first $500,000 of the purchase price and 10% on the portion between $500,000 and $1.5 million. Above $1.5 million the minimum is 20%. Down payments under 20% require mortgage default insurance.
What closing costs should I expect in BC?
Property transfer tax, legal or notary fees, inspection and appraisal fees, title insurance, adjustments for prepaid taxes or strata fees, and home insurance. First-time buyers may qualify for a property transfer tax exemption. Nadia prepares a closing-cost estimate before you write an offer.
What subjects should be in my offer?
Typically financing, inspection and, for strata properties, review of strata documents. Subjects give you a way out if something surfaces. In competing-offer situations Nadia can often arrange pre-offer inspections and document review so you compete with fewer conditions safely.
Can Nadia help me find a home that is not on the MLS®?
Sometimes. Nadia's referral network and developer contacts have surfaced opportunities for clients before they were publicly listed, including a developer purchase described in one of her reviews.
