Initial Meeting
Determining what type of property you are looking to buy can be a daunting task. Mark will sit down with you to help you decide specific locations to concentrate your search and specific criteria you are looking for in a property such as the number of bedrooms, square footage and budget. It is useful to differentiate between your "must haves" from your "want to haves". Importantly, as you begin to look at various properties your criteria may change. A few key items to consider are:- community/area

- number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- age of property
- number of floor levels
- suite for nanny accommodation or rental income
- garage space
- parking
- view
