It’s finally time for you to buy your first home: where do you begin? You probably start researching homes in neighbourhoods you like, looking for the right number of bedrooms, bathrooms, parking spots, the list goes on. Soon, you have dozens of tabs open on your computer with potential homes all over the city, at a loss of what to do next. How do I book a showing? How do I make an offer? If I do book a showing, am I going to get a phone call from a realtor trying to hard-sell me before I’m ready? The list of questions is neverending to anyone new to the home buying process.
Perhaps you already own a home but you’re looking to sell in the near future. Whether you’ve sold a house before or this is your first time, we all know how those pesky real estate agent fees can add up. Did you know that on average it takes four years of mortgage payments to simply pay off the commissions on a home? That means you’re not actually getting any equity in your home until December 2023. What if there was a way to save these commissions and the forty+ manhours of extra work required when selling a home with an agent? What if you could list your home on the market (MLS, Zillow, etc.) without the help of an agent and have someone else do the advertising – free of charge until it sells? Well Calgary, the answer to all your home buying and selling quandaries is finally here – introducing Bōde.
