    Buying a Home in Victoria or Esquimalt<\/span><\/h2>\n

    REALTORS\u00ae are members of The Canadian Real Estate Association who subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics <\/span>and high Standards of Business Practice. Members of the Victoria Real Estate Board are members of both the<\/span>
    British Columbia and Canadian Real Estate Associations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


    The following is a list of services you can expect to receive from a REALTOR\u00ae when you buy a home:
    <\/span>
    \u2022 A REALTOR\u00ae will fully explain the details of your working relationship (called \u201cagency\u201d) so that you are <\/span>clear as to when a REALTOR\u00ae is working for you or for the seller.
    <\/span>
    \u2022 A REALTOR\u00ae has access to hundreds of current listings of homes for sale because of a co-operative <\/span>system called the Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae). A REALTOR\u00ae can provide you with a customized <\/span>list of homes that best your needs — size, style, features, location, proximity to schools, hospital and <\/span>shopping, etc. \u2013 and then make arrangements for you to view those homes that appeal the most.    \"House<\/a>
    <\/span>
    \u2022 A REALTOR\u00ae will help you determine how big a home you can afford. Assessing the many financial <\/span>alternatives is an important consideration when buying a home. REALTORS\u00ae are familiar with the local <\/span>lending market and can offer helpful advice.
    <\/span>
    \u2022 A REALTOR\u00ae has no emotional ties to any type or style of home and can be objective in pointing out the <\/span>merits of one home over another.
    <\/span>
    \u2022 A REALTOR\u00ae will have information on zoning changes, taxes, utility costs, school and recreation <\/span>services that could affect your decision to buy a home in a specific area.
    <\/span>
    \u2022 A REALTOR\u00ae will assist you in negotiating the terms of your purchase. Presenting offers and handling <\/span>counter offers can be a nerve-wracking process for someone who is not experienced in the art of <\/span>negotiating.
    <\/span>
    \u2022 Finally, a REALTOR\u00ae will advise you of the legal process required in obtaining title and taking <\/span>possession of your property. The costs associated with buying a home such as insurance, mortgage <\/span>registration and legal fees will be explained in detail.
    <\/span>
    A REALTOR\u00ae ‘s knowledge and skill can help in many ways to make the experience of buying a home a pleasant<\/span>
    and rewarding one for you and your family.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
