(upbeat music)

9
00:00:16,521 --> 00:00:18,420
Hi I'm Jason Binab and
thank you for joining me.

10
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:20,340
I'm from The Agency here in
Victoria, British Columbia.

11
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:22,240
So today we're gonna be
talking about buyers.

12
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,600
So if you're thinking
about buying a property

13
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,133
and you're engaging with a realtor,

14
00:00:26,133 --> 00:00:28,280
one of the first things that you must do,

15
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,420
the most important thing is
talk to a mortgage broker.

16
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:32,900
Get in, see that mortgage
broker or your banker,

17
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:36,060
find out what you can afford,
what the current rates are,

18
00:00:36,060 --> 00:00:38,400
are you gonna be porting a
mortgage from another property,

19
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,120
are there any penalties with that?

20
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,160
Secondly, you wanna be
talking to a realtor.

21
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,120
Engage the realtor, get you
set up on one of our systems,

22
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,290
the Matrix or Interface which
are systems that allow us

23
00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:50,920
to match properties
that match your criteria

24
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,500
and they'll send you those
properties the minute

25
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:53,930
they come on the market.

26
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:55,940
Now, the next thing you
wanna do is when you look

27
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:58,610
for properties and you're
finding those listings

28
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:00,930
that you wanna see, drive
by the neighborhoods.

29
00:01:00,930 --> 00:01:02,660
Make sure that the
neighborhood works for you,

30
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:05,340
fits for you, is the right school district

31
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:07,200
if you got kids that are
gonna be going to the schools.

32
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,550
We value your time, nothing
worse than booking 10 showings

33
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:12,930
to show you properties and the
neighborhood just didn't work

34
00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:14,750
or you didn't like the neighborhood,

35
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:17,130
the neighbors properties
or whatever it is.

36
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:18,240
We value your time.

37
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,600
One of the first things I like to do

38
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,420
when I meet with my buyers
is go over the haves

39
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:24,140
and the wants, like what's
a deal breaker for you.

40
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:26,840
How many bedrooms,
bathrooms, what the price is,

41
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,440
square footage, what about
the layout of the home?

42
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,100
Do you want a master bedroom upstairs

43
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:32,540
or do you have two kids and you want that

44
00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:34,820
three bedroom, two bathroom ideal layout?

45
00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:36,600
So knowing what you're looking for,

46
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,800
me being able to understand
what my client is looking for,

47
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,960
helps me do a better job for them.

48
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,960
With 14 hundred realtors
in Victoria currently,

49
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:46,230
there's a lot of fantastic
realtors out there.

50
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:48,360

myself or any of the realtors
