Buying Your First Home
In 2018 Nikki and I purchased our first home. We had been renting a condo and decided it was time to trade rent payments for mortgage payments. Truthfully the driving factor was being able to give our dog Winnie the back yard she deserves.
We reached out to Brin Werrett (my now boss) to help us out. We looked at a few older homes, but ultimately decided a new build would be best for us. We found a street we loved and there were a few duplexes available. We had an accepted offer on one and things were looking great, until the home inspection. Some major red flags came up, yes even on a new build, so we decided to go back to searching.
Literally one duplex down we found the one. Initially Nikki ran up to the front door window and didn't like how the living and dining was seperated by a half wall, but after walking through the home we could picture ourselves living there. The half wall became one of our favourite parts of the home. It was where Winnie stood to greated us and it became her favourite treato spot.
It can be intimidating to purchase your first home, and it does take a leap of faith to make that huge purchase. Your Realtor® should be with you every step of the way to make sure you are confident in your choice and comfortable with the process. Shout out to everyone's favourite boss Brin for helping Nikki and I find our first home. Winnie loved her half wall, the front window, the upstairs racing hallway, and her backyard.
