If you are like me your dog has more spaces in your home than you

do. Here is 5 things your dog wants in their new home:

1- hardwood floors - they know how much you hate cleaning up their messes in carpet. 
2- infloor heat - with infloor heat their beds are preheated after their long day of making messes in your carpet. 
3- big windows - dogs like cats love laying in the sun. 
4 - fireplaces - your dog loves laying in front of a fireplace. Well who doesn’t. 
5- south facing backyard- it’s a well known fact dogs hate pooping in the shade. They will but they prefer a south facing backyard so they can poop in the sun. 

If you love your dog you will add these 5 things to your want list of your next home. 

Enjoy your day

HOME INSPECTORS

Home inspectors are an extremely important part of our team. A good qualified home inspector can and will give you peace of  mind in your home purchase or your pre-inspection report for sellers. Below are a list of my favorites:

​

Jeff Ferguson at Home Safe n Sound

Ryan at Quantum Property Inspections

Jesse Fox at FXC Inspections

MORTGAGES

Step one of your purchase is a full pre approval from your mortgage specialist. You have a choice of either your bank or a broker. Either works but below are a few of our favorite independent brokers:

​

Brandi Pierik at Dominion Lending

Brenda MacKay at Mortgage Alliance

Cheryl Kowalsky at Red Deer Mortgage Lending

Lawyers

Lawyers are the final step in your real estate experience. They will go over all the paperwork, make sure all is good and finalize the transfer of ownership from the sellers to the buyers. This is a simplified description but the lawyers below will take great care of you.
