Start your move with clarity and confidence.

We’ll connect virtually to define your home search, walk you through the Ontario buying process, and answer your questions about Ottawa’s neighbourhoods and market.

Before you arrive, we’ll:

• Curate homes in your target areas
• Refine your criteria based on real options
• Schedule your house-hunting tours
• Recommend places to stay
• Connect you with trusted local professionals

You’ll arrive prepared, focused, and ready to make the most of your time.

When you’re ready, you can choose to work with us as your Buyer’s Representative—no pressure, just the right fit.

The following is an example of a typical house hunting trip to Ottawa (keep in mind, that this is just a framework, and our trip will be customized to meet your needs).

Day 1 – Your arrival

• Once you arrive in Ottawa, we will have an initial meeting usually the day of arrival, or next day (if you arrive late in the day) to go over our itinerary, and property selections

Day 2 – Initial viewings

• This is the most exploratory phase of the trip
• Take some time to explore Ottawa neighborhoods, and different parts of the city
• We schedule a first round of viewings of the properties you found most interesting online, and make sure we have a good sample of different types of properties and neighborhoods if you are considering multiple areas in the city

Day 3 – Second day of viewings

• We will narrow the search area and housing type, and focus on the houses and neighborhoods that you like the most to ensure we’ve looked at all the best options on the market

Day 4 – Second showings and additional visits

• Once at day 4, we have likely looked at all the best fits for you, and will schedule 2nd visits on your top choices, adding any last properties you wish to see (time permitting)

Day 5 – Negotiations and flex-day

• If all goes as planned, this day will involve a lot of “behind the scenes” work, so you may have some free time to explore your neighborhood of choice, schools, and do a little exploring. During this time, we hope to be negotiating an offer for you on a property, so we’ll keep our cell phones close by!

Day 6 – Inspection day

• Once accepted, the offer constitutes a Conditional Agreement
• During the conditional period, it is our duty to do the following:
  • Ensure that all documentation is sent to the proper contacts and locations; including lawyers, property management companies, lending institutions etc.
  • Assist you in the choice of a certified home inspection and, if needed, recommend several real estate lawyers for your transaction and relocation to Ottawa
  • Arrange inspections, appraisals, and other related appointments to complete the purchase of the property
  • Finally, carefully monitor the process ensuring that specific deadlines are met, and that the offer remains legally binding
• Although we typically have 1 week to fulfill the conditions, we’ll need to get the building inspection done prior to you leaving the city (the rest can easily be done – long distance)

Day 7 – Clean up day, and trip home

• By day 7, we are finishing up your trip, clearing up any issues that may have been found in the inspection, and gathering any additional information and paperwork necessary for you to succeed with your house purchase. By this time, we expect to be congratulating you on the purchase of your new home in Ottawa!
