As a first-time homebuyer, understanding key terms in the real estate process is crucial. Here are some of the most important terms to know:
a licensed real estate professional who is a member of a real estate board or association, such as the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and local real estate boards.
The initial payment made by the buyer toward the property's purchase price. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the total purchase price.
A loan provided by a lender to finance the purchase of a home. The property serves as collateral for the loan.
A lender's written commitment to grant a mortgage to a borrower, contingent on certain conditions. Having pre-approval strengthens a buyer's offer.
Additional fees beyond the purchase price that buyers and sellers incur during the real estate transaction. These can include legal fees, appraisal fees, and title insurance.
A thorough examination of the property's condition conducted by a professional inspector. It helps identify potential issues and assess the overall state of the home.
