As you prepare for your next home you may be asking an important question… Should you buy or sell first? See the advantages and disadvantages of each.

?

When it comes to buying and selling homes, no one-size-fits-all approach will do. We take a very unique approach to assisting you with one of life's biggest investments! The Buschteam.ca real estate system ensures an EXTRAORDINARY experience!

***One thing that I urge buyers to do, look at everything in your snack bracket. i.e. If your budget is 1.2M Look up to 1.3M. The reason being if you like it place an offer the worst that can happen is that the seller will say no... and the best thing that will happen is that the seller will at least know we exist and maybe touch base with us if they want to look at our offer at a later time. (its how I bought my house!)

It is a big step and a lot thought and planning goes into it. We like to simplify it, but for the planners and people who want to know exactly what to expect we have prepared the information below. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions at all.
