Real Estate FAQ
Navigating the Canadian real estate market can be complex, whether you are buying your first condo in Toronto, looking for a safe neighborhood in Edmonton, or upgrading to a luxury acreage near Calgary. We’ve compiled the most common questions from our clients to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
🏠 Buying & Selling Strategy
Should I sell my home off-market or list it on the full MLS?
The choice depends on your priority: privacy or profit. While off-market sales offer a discreet exit, full MLS exposure typically triggers bidding wars that can drive your final sale price 10–15% higher. 👉 Read our full Off-Market vs. MLS Comparison Guide here.
What should I do if I’m facing “Payment Shock” at mortgage renewal?
Many homeowners are seeing significantly higher rates upon renewal. Strategies include extending your amortization, switching lenders, or timing a strategic sale. 👉 Contact us to discuss your Mortgage Renewal Strategy.
