First Time Relocation Buyers

First time home buyers who are relocating from another city (or country) often need even more help than local buyers.  Advice from an experience realtor like Geoff, Jodi and Heather can be instrumental in providing a positive experience and helping you feel welcome when you are moving to Victoria.

Most relocation buyers plan a trip (or two) to visit the city and tour homes for sale.  Preparing for this visit beforehand is key to making the best use of your time once you get here.

We can work with you before you make your trip to determine what type of home you are looking for, which neighborhoods might suit your family best, and address any specific concerns you have about moving to the Greater Victoria area.

You may be pressed for time during your house hunting trip, we can arrange for visits to the properties that interest you, and provide information about the neighborhoods in which these homes are located.  Having someone who is familiar with the city is invaluable when assessing the pros and cons of your potential new neighborhood.

Your lifestyle might play a big part in choosing a new neighborhood.  Do you prefer city life, and want a home within walking distance of everything you need?  Or do you prefer a quiet, rural atmosphere, and need a place suitable for livestock?  Perhaps you’re looking for something in between?

Do you need moorage for your boat, or to be close to a golf course?  Maybe you want to live within the catchment of a certain school for your children.  Everyone has different needs and desires, but it can be tricky finding the right home when you are unfamiliar with the community.  We can help you find suitable properties in neighborhoods that fit your lifestyle.

After your house hunting trip is over, we will continue acting in your behalf, helping negotiate any offer you wish to make on homes that you’ve seen, or, if you weren’t able to find a property that suits you, we will continue searching for just the right home for you and your family.  We can monitor new properties as they come on the market and let you know right away when we see something that could potentially be your new home.

Having an efficient, organised agent looking after your needs when you are a first time relocation buyer can reduce a lot of the stress that you might feel when buying your first home in a new city.  We will help make you feel very welcome to Victoria!
