1. Determine Your Budget
Start by assessing your financial situation. Speak with a mortgage broker or lender to get pre-approved. Knowing your budget early helps you focus on homes you can realistically afford.
Buying a home in Calgary, especially in sought-after SE Calgary neighbourhoods like McKenzie Towne, Auburn Bay, or Mahogany, is an exciting step. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or moving up into your next home, understanding the process can help you make informed, confident decisions.

Your real estate agent is your guide throughout the process. They’ll help you navigate listings, make offers, negotiate terms, and connect you with trusted professionals like lawyers, inspectors, and mortgage brokers.
Together with your agent, you’ll tour homes, explore open houses, and refine your search based on lifestyle needs, whether that means being close to schools, walkable paths, or major routes like Deerfoot or Stoney Trail.
Once you’ve found a home you love, as your REALTOR®, I will prepare and present your offer. I’ll guide you through price negotiations, conditions, and timelines.
After an accepted offer, you’ll arrange a home inspection and finalize your financing. This is your chance to ensure the property is structurally sound and everything checks out.
Once conditions are met, your lawyer will handle the legal paperwork and title transfer. On possession day, you get the keys, and the home is officially yours.
