Whether you choose a condo or a house, taking the plunge and buying your first home is never an easy decision. Neighbourhood, inspection, mortgages, insurance: there are many things to consider and weigh. Read our article as we share with you 3 reasons why it’s worth taking advantage of our exclusive My First Home program for your first home purchase!

Exclusive in Quebec, our program for first-time buyers, My First Home, allows all those who wish to purchase their first home, whether it is a condo or a house, to benefit from several advantages. This program was developed to better guide and reassure first-time buyers throughout the purchasing process, because we know that a real estate transaction can be as exciting… as it is stressful.

Advantage #1 | More time on site

To reduce stress and give you the opportunity to fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment, our inspectors offer you an extended time slot for the pre-purchase inspection. This way, they can take the time, on site, to explain to you the operation of the different systems with which you may not be familiar – a furnace for example. This time slot will also allow your inspector to answer any questions you may have on site. This will make it easier for you to understand the report when you receive it after the inspection.

Advantage #2 | Personalized follow-up

But if you still have questions about your report after you receive it, your inspector is always available to you! Yes, as part of the My First Home program, your inspector offers you a personalized follow-up that goes far beyond what is offered during a standard inspection. It is therefore possible to send him your questions by e-mail or to schedule a telephone meeting to obtain more details on your report.

Advantage #3 | 30 minute phone consultation

You have questions about a facet of your building that goes beyond the scope of your pre-purchase inspection? Don’t worry! Our exclusive My First Home program offers you 30 minutes of technical telephone consultation with our experts. This way, you can get advice from a building professional on a wide range of building problems such as ice dams, water infiltration, mold, humidity or high heating bills for example. Are you considering re-insulating your attic, but are not sure how to proceed? Our experts will take a look at your report and advise you on the materials and methods to use, as well as other things to consider before you even begin your work.

And the good news is that these telephone consultation minutes are valid as long as you own the condo or house!
