FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS
Buying your first home or condominium can be an exciting, positive experience, but it can also be confusing and even overwhelming. It’s easy to feel pressured to sign without truly understanding the responsibilities and risks you may be taking on.
If you are feeling confused, you’re not alone. Even clients who are not first-time buyers have commented that they wish they had come to us for their first purchase, as they still have many questions about real estate.
Knowing that we take the time to explain every part of the deal, many local real estate agents send their first-time home buyers to us. At JP Lin Law Professional Corporation, we will answer all of your questions about Ontario real estate law, walk you through the process from initial review of documents to closing, and make sure that you are fully aware of your rights and responsibilities.
