Things to consider before you buy

We would recommend you research the various areas before you choose to buy, much of this research can be done via the Internet, but it is important to consider what you want from your property just as much as the area you prefer.

For example, If you like to ski, make sure your property is close to the resorts and that the roads to these resorts allow you to get there in reasonable time. If you like outdoor activities like canoeing, hiking, whitewater rafting, fishing etc make sure that these can be done near your property. We cannot emphasize enough how important this is, depending on what you are after, price obviously is important but there are good value properties in the West of the country just as there are in the East, so be demanding, if you want to be near mountains and valleys, streams, rivers etc, make sure that’s what you get! Because it’s all here!

It may sound obvious but if its skiing you’re after make sure you visit and think about buying when its winter, you can check out the facilities when they are all running and make good comparisons between resorts and areas, which you can’t do in Summer.

Consider whether you want a property that is new or needs no renovation versus a renovation project. We can help with any renovation you require and project manage for you, but this may not be for you, while the financial returns are can be greater on a renovation project, you may prefer a property that you can use and rent out from day one.

We as a licensed agent sell both our own properties as well as co-market properties from other agents, so if you don’t find anything you really like on the website don’t settle for second best, Tell us what you are really looking for and let us try to find something more suitable. We would prefer not to sell a house to you than sell you one that you later realise wasn’t really for you.
