Buying a Home in Niagara, ON

Not sure where to start? Here’s a brief overview of the home buying process in Niagara, ON:

Selecting a Real Estate Agent

Services we offer:

  • Connect you with your affordability

Financing

Understand your budget before shopping for a new home. Keep in mind that you’ll need to have the down payment, and the more you put down the less you will pay each month. When considering what you can afford, you must factor in:

  • Getting pre-approval ahead of time will help you learn what you can afford!
  • The down payment
  • The monthly mortgage
  • Monthly taxes
  • Utilities
  • Maintenance and repairs to the property

What some of our clients have said…

I was recently in the market to downsize my home in Welland and Rebecca helped me find my new home and sell my old one, both in the space of a week! Her fantastic work in setting me up with all the tools for finding exactly the home I was looking for and astute marketing of my current home got me seven great offers in the space of 48 hours. She had to manage over 14 viewings in those 48 hours and did it all with absolute professionalism and kept me completely informed throughout the entire process so I had my home and family ready for when those viewings were needed. I can’t thank Rebecca enough for her dedicated and hard work in getting me everything and more I could of wanted out of both deals! You won’t regret hiring her for any real estate needs you may have!

Rebecca is a real estate rockstar! So professional, so diligent and so caring for everything she does I recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell their home

Carlos P.

My husband and I have been looking off and on for our perfect dream home for us and our family. Rebecca Scarlett made the entire process extremely easy for us. She took the time to actually sit down and listen to all of our wants and needs in a new place and she went over how to best market and sell the place we were in, to get the most out of it we could. Every time I had a question, or changed my mind she was right there to answer all my many emails, phone calls and text messages and never made me feel silly to ask anything. She was very professional, friendly and understanding that this isn’t an easy decision as buying and selling is a major life decision and one made that much easier and almost effortless on our end due to the amazing work by our agent Rebecca Scarlett. I absolutely recommend her to anybody looking to buy or sell a home. She’s all about customer satisfaction!

I used Barb as my realtor when myself and my girlfriend bought our first those. Throughout the buying process Barb gave us many recommendations on house to look at and guidance when completing all of the necessary paperwork. She is beyond professional and approachable. I would highly recommend her as a realtor and if need be I’ll be using her as my realtor in the future.

Peter B.

I’ve worked with Barb for a few years and have had a great experience with her. I’m a Niagara builder of new home construction and have worked closely with her. Not just the sale of the property, Barb has taken this venture with new homes, from the sale of the house, and has continued in assisting with the service end after the client has moved in for some time. this has been very beneficial as a builder because she will work with us in assessing an issue, coming up with a solution to solving the problem, and seeing it to completion. Because of how she can keep herself very organized in a high pressure setting, would be one of her best assets in order to help us with most situations.

Ted B.

Barb is amazing, she helped my brother buy his house a few years ago and just helped my boyfriend and I find our first home. Through the extensive search she was responsive, professional, knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions. She made recommendations and was very reassuring. Would recommend her to anyone, and would use her in the future for sure! Thanks Barb!

As a newcomer to Fort Erie, Barbara and her team were fabulous in making the purchase of my ‘new build’ home a very pleasant experience. From numerous phone calls answering all of my questions, being flexible to meet with me when I was in the Fort Erie area, to her expertise and patience in assisting me with my design choices – Barbara provided me with knowledgeable, professional and personable service.

Gweneth M.
