4. Search for a Condo

If you have been done steps 1-3, you and your agent will have a good idea of what you can afford, what your needs and wants are and where you would like to be. Doing these preliminary steps makes the entire process less stressful and more productive.

There are a number of tools on this website to help you find the condo that is right for you including:

• Condo Finder - Details on every condo development
• Area Finder - Find condo developments in a particular area
• Property Search - Find every listing on the market
• iMap - See a graphical representation of all the condo developments.
• RSS Feeds - Install RSS Feeds on your own pages or email system

Searching online is great, but it doesn't replace actual viewings. Many buyers try and do it themselves by hitting all the open houses. What they don't realize is the number of open houses is only a fraction of homes available. One of the great benefits of a buyer's agent working for you is the access they have to all the units on the market. In addition, a buyer's agent can preview homes for you, saving you valuable time.

If you have been trying to hit all the open house and are feeling frustrated by the time constraint and lack of selection, fill out the form below and get a buyer's agent on your side.
