See my smile? Well I’m smiling because I bought my condo!!
Here’s the story:
When I moved out of my matrimonial home, I rented a 2 bedroom HUGE apartment. However I was paying a lot of $$ and had ZERO amenities. (ie not even a balcony).
After 2 years, I decided to rent a condo a mile up the road that had: laundry ensuite, a 24 hour concierge, a beautiful outdoor poor, a gym, a guest suite, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a party room, a balcony, VIP cable for $6/month, and the perfect location…..plus I would be saving almost $300 a dollar a month.
Then in April 2015, I received an email from my landlord that she wanted to sell the condo and asked if I would be interested to buy it. To be honest, I was happy to rent…. but I knew that it was time to buy so I replied that indeed I would be interested. We sat down to negotiate and before you knew it I was busy signing a lot of paperwork!!
Throughout the last 6 weeks, I was lucky to have two professionals guide me thru the process:
a) REMAX Realtor – Eric Potechin: (416 737 6782 or ericpotechin@gmail.com).
Eric guided the landlord and I – every step of the way! He patiently walked us thru the necessary forms and provided me with the information I needed in order to be a knowledgeable buyer.
If you are looking for a honest and competent real estate professional, please don’t hesitate to call him.
b) Get a Better Mortgage – Sharon Shilmover: (647 389 9038 or email Shilmover.s@mortgagecentre.com or SShilmover@hotmail.com
With over 20 years of experience, Sharon knows her stuff. Again, Sharon was the type of professional who was extremely thorough and dedicated to her clients. I was extremely happy with the level of service I received and would strongly recommend her.
Now that I own my condo….I’m lifting the carpets STAT and by the end of the week, the condo will have gorgeous hardwood floors.
Can you say – time to decorate?
