First, there are some important points that should have been thought through and have been decided well in advance;
Have you selected the area? (based on proximity to schools, universities, work etc...)
Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, size of garage, finished basement, etc...
When do you plan to move? Is this firm or flexible?
Is it realistic in terms of price, size and location?
Do you have to sell before you buy or do you prefer to buy before you sell? Talk to your banker about it!
If you found the ideal home tomorrow, would you be able to purchase it?
Would you be willing to work exclusively with one agent?

Today there are so many ways to find a home… from a Google search, to plugging in an MLS number, to searching Realtor.ca and with numerous searches on agent websites inviting you to search all of the Ottawa Homes, it can be confusing.
Most people, you end up registering on various real estate search sites resulting in you getting tons of emails and reports. You may find yourself asking, how can I know which Realtor to choose to help me through the home buying process in Ottawa? The following are some facts and tips:
Have you selected the area? (based on proximity to schools, universities, work etc...)
During your first conversation with the agent, ask questions about neighborhoods, schools, amenities and other commuting info. We mean specifics that you are interested in knowing about. Soon enough, you will realize whether or not the agent you are speaking with is the local market expert that can best help you with all of your options.
When The Dicaire Team works with home buyers, we are your advocates. Our job is to help you get what you want. We view ourselves as your consultants, your strategists, your advisors. We will always tell you the truth and will always provide you with enough information so that you can make an informed decision about your home purchase.
Ask the Realtor you are interviewing how proactive they will be in finding you a home. For example, would they go knocking on doors of streets you really like? Would they call other realtors to see, if by any chance, they have a pocket listing that might perhaps match your criteria? The Dicaire Team has helped many buyers find the home of their dreams even before the property appeared on the public market. We take a pro-active approach instead of just waiting for new listings to appear on MLS. The purchase of your new home should be an enjoyable event... we will do our utmost to make this happen.
