Step 1: Understand Your Budget and Borrowing Capacity

Before searching for a home, it’s important to understand your financial capabilities. Together, we can review your income, debts, down payment, and financial goals to establish a realistic budget.

Step 2: Obtain Your Mortgage Pre-Approval

Mortgage pre-approval helps you get a clearer picture of your potential monthly mortgage payments and the financing terms available to you. It may also include an interest rate hold for a limited period.

Step 3: Find Your Property and Make an Offer

Once your budget is established, you can begin your property search.

When you find the right home, your real estate broker will prepare the necessary purchase documents to proceed to the mortgage approval process.

Step 4: The Mortgage Approval Process

At this stage, your financial documents are carefully reviewed and analyzed to confirm your financial situation and identify suitable mortgage solutions.

Based on this analysis, available financing options are presented and their terms and conditions explained, allowing you to compare them and make an informed choice.

Once you’ve selected your preferred option, your mortgage application is submitted to the chosen lender. If all the lender’s requirements are met, the lender issues a final mortgage approval letter.

Step 5: Prepare for Closing

Once your financing is approved, a Quebec notary prepares the mortgage deed and handles the legal transfer of ownership.

You’ll also need to prepare for closing costs, including notary fees, applicable taxes, and adjustments.

Step 6: Receive Your Keys and Plan Ahead

Congratulations — you’re a homeowner!

Understanding your mortgage payments, prepayment options, and renewal date will help you manage your financing over time.
