“As first-time home buyers, the process was both exciting and stressful, and Sylvia made all the difference... she worked diligently to secure the best possible deal, always keeping our personal circumstances in mind to ensure we could live comfortably rather than feeling financially stretched.”

Getting started

Get pre-approved before you fall for a house.

A pre-approval tells you the real number you can borrow and holds a rate while you shop, so you make an offer with confidence instead of crossing your fingers. Sylvia sets it up and points you to the first-timer programs you qualify for.

01

Know your real budget

Understand the payment you can carry comfortably, plus the closing costs to plan for, before you start looking.

02

Hold a rate while you shop

A pre-approval commonly holds a rate for up to 120 days, so a rate rise mid-search does not derail your plans.

03

Use first-timer programs

The FHSA, the RRSP Home Buyers Plan, and the Ontario land transfer rebate can all help. Sylvia shows you which ones fit.

Frequently asked questions

How much do I need for a down payment?
The minimum depends on the price of the home, starting at five percent for most purchases. Sylvia walks you through the exact figure for your budget, plus the closing costs to set aside.
What is a pre-approval, and how long does it last?
A pre-approval confirms how much you can borrow and holds a rate, commonly for up to 120 days, while you shop. It is not the final approval, which comes once you have a specific property.
What first-time buyer programs can I use?
Depending on your situation, the First Home Savings Account (FHSA), the RRSP Home Buyers Plan, and the Ontario land transfer tax rebate can all help. Sylvia confirms which ones you qualify for.
Can I buy with a short or bruised credit history?
Often yes. With access to more than 60 lenders, Sylvia can find options for thin or rebuilding credit that a single bank cannot offer.
