A Virgin Home-Buyer is probably exactly what you expect - a person looking into buying their first home, but not quite sure where to start. If you are a Virgin Home-Buyer chances are you've looked into owning a home, but haven't yet dug deep enough to fully understand how the process works and what to do. Like your 'first time', you're probably nervous, unsure as what to expect, but you want it to be painless and a special time to remember. However, unlike your first time, you've probably considered using a professional to help you along the way when buying your first home. But who should you deal with? Who should you talk to?
There are literally thousands of real estate agents in Ottawa, and each come with their own specific set of skills and their own unique personality. Some are more comfortable with condominiums, other prefer single family houses, some are more comfortable with commercial real estate, others residential - it's important to find an agent who you get along with and someone who is comfortable with first-time buyers. What do I mean by 'comfortable'? It's important that your agent takes time and explains some of the basics of real estate with you - like building a home, laying down a strong foundation is invaluable. A good agent will introduce their buyers, whether first-time or experienced, to each stage of the home-search and buying processes, that way both the agent and client are on the same page and there are no surprises.
You also want an agent who is well versed in both re-sale properties and new-home construction, that way you ensure that you are looking into all homes that may potentially fit your needs and requirements. Often times agents rely solely on re-sales homes since new-homes are often a mystery, but by neglecting to search new homes, the pool of potential properties is divided in half.
