First-Time Buyer
Step-by-step guidance for your first home purchase
Your first home purchase is a major milestone. You have questions about pre-approval, the down payment, the welcome tax, the buying steps, and what comes after the offer. Dora Mazzeo has guided more than 100 first-time buyers in Montreal and the surrounding suburbs, and the process is simpler than it looks when someone walks you through it. We start with a clear briefing on first-time buyer programs and the funding sources available to you, including the federal incentive, the RAP plan, and the new HBP rules. Then we map your real budget, with the welcome tax and closing costs included so the numbers do not surprise you on signing day. Next, we look at properties. We prioritize neighborhoods that fit your lifestyle and your work commute, and we always run an honest condition read so you know what you are buying. Inspections, financing, and the notary signing are all coordinated. You move from key handoff to settled in your new place with a process that has been tested 100+ times.
