The Voice of Experience
Pat will not take it for granted that you know all the in's and out's of the buying process. Instead, he'll provide you with a full explanation of what to expect -- and that's important so you're not faced with unpleasant surprises along the way. Whether you are a first time buyer, or purchasing your fifth revenue property, Pat is happy to answer all of your questions, and to be with you every step of the way. He has also surrounded himself with other successful agents to assist with the needs of his clients, and to provide constant coverage of the market when he is not immediately available.

Arranging Financing
Pat can help. He has made Calgary his home since 1990 and has developed solid relationships with mortgage brokers, bankers, and other real estate specialists who will assist you in your purchase. A home purchase is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions you will undertake, and Pat can help by introducing you to the right people every step of the way.

Assessing Your Needs
One of the first questions Pat will ask is, "Why are you moving?" He will also explore any time constraints you might have (perhaps imposed by the need to relocate for employment), your financial situation, and any future plans.
Pat will also help you decide where you want to live and what type of home is best for you. There are plenty of housing options available in the marketplace -- new homes, resale homes, townhouse condominiums or apartment-style condos. Pat can help you choose the one that best suits your current and projected lifestyle.

Targeting Your Dream Home
Pat will help you identify what is most important to you in your new home. A Garage? An extra room? A particular building design? What about the neighbourhood? Proximity to schools or downtown?
Pat will compare your needs, wants and budget with what is available on the market -- and make recommendations that save you time and effort. He will also accompany you as you view houses, and help assess their suitability and price.

Access to the MLX and Other Properties
The MLXchange is an exclusive program accessible only to licensed REALTORS who are active members of the local real estate board. Pat is a licensed REALTOR and active CREB member, and has access to the MLX. This MLXchange system is what feeds the publicly accessible MLS, usually 2 - 4 days after being entered into the MLX. In a busy market, many properties -- and most of the good ones -- are sold before they get a chance to enter the MLS.
Buyers working with Pat are put onto his Buyer's Homesearch Program which allows new properties to be automatically and instantly e-mailed to those clients. This is a great advantage to those with specific needs, and especially in Calgary's super hot market. Pat can then setup convenient showing(s), and usually does so for 5 or 6 homes at a time.
In addition to searching and viewing properties on the MLX, Pat can assist you with the search of For Sale By Owner, or brand new properties, and will represent your interests at the negotiating table.

A Skillful Negotiator
When you are ready to make an offer, Pat is with you. Each offer situation is unique, and this is where a focused, experienced agent can make the critical difference for you. When time permits, Pat will access the MLX to see what similar properties have recently sold for, enabling an informed and current purchase decision. Pat has been involved in dozens of single and multiple offer situations, and can offer assistance on how to use not only the price, but conditions of the offer to your advantage. Pat will also ensure yours is a legally binding contract.

Who Pays?
Usually, the seller has an agreement with his or her REALTOR, from which the buyer's agent (Pat) gets paid. The listing agreement states the buyer's agent fees.
Buying a home can be a nerve-wracking and time-consuming experience. But not if you enlist the services of a trusted REALTOR. Pat works only in real estate, understands the local market, knows exactly what is available, and can match your needs and budget to your new home efficiently and effectively. Most importantly, he will be with you every step of the way.
