You may have just found the perfect house, or you might be browsing online here and there. Either way, the intention is clear: you’re moving house.
Home buying should be (and is frequently) a great experience: after all, you’re moving to a brand new place! But there are constant challenges to that end goal: overpaying, settling for less… the list goes on.
Home buying is way different than selling. We would know: the A-Team realized the inherent intricacies of buying long ago.
It’s why we decided to have some of our agents specialize in buying. These buyer’s specialists only help home buyers and are, therefore, more understanding of the ins and outs of the process.
We’ve found that impatience, and a lack of understanding of the market, are usually what ruins a buyer’s experience. With the A-Team, your agent brings a wealth of market knowledge and advice, all from the perspective of a buyer!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will it cost to buy a home (hidden fees)?
Prior to beginning your search, we’ll clearly explain all closing costs that you can expect in your case. For most people, it seems to be between $2,000 to $3,000 for the basic costs.
How is the market doing?
At the time of your enquiry, your specialist buyer’s agent will inform you precisely what the market is doing, in the part of the market you are interested in. We also publish our blog series about the market (see below).
Do I need a pre-approval first?
Nope. We actually prefer to meet long before you might be ready to buy, so we can save you time and effort. From there we can refer you to excellent mortgage specialists who we trust to do the best work!
How much does your service cost?
Nothing. The commission your buyer’s agent is paid comes from the sale proceeds of the home that you buy. We’ve never had a client pay out-of-pocket, even if they bought a home privately.
Do I have to sign a service agreement?
You never have to sign anything, but we will certainly ask you to. Our service agreements can be canceled by you at any time, for any reason and no money changes hands, ever.
If we have a consultation, do I have to hire you?
Nope. It’s an interview (feel free to grill us) and there is no expectation on our part that you’ll hire us at the end.
Is there a cost for the consultation?
Nope. The consultation is free of cost and expectation. It’s a chance for us to show you what we do best.
