First-Time Buyers

5.0 / 5.0

We were terrified about buying our first home. The market seemed impossible, and every open house felt like a battle we couldn't win. Then we met Sarah.

Sarah sat down with us for three hours on our first meeting—no pressure, just education. She explained every step of the buying process, broke down all the costs we needed to consider, and helped us understand what we could actually afford. She didn't try to push us into anything; she just wanted us to feel confident.

Over the next two months, Sarah showed us dozens of homes. She never made us feel rushed, even when we passed on places that seemed perfect on paper. She understood we were looking for more than just a house—we were looking for our home.

When we finally found 'the one,' a beautiful semi-detached in Leslieville, Sarah's expertise really shone. During the inspection, she noticed several issues that we would have completely missed. The roof needed work, and there were some electrical problems that could have cost us thousands down the line.

Instead of walking away, Sarah negotiated with the sellers and got them to reduce the price by $23,000 to cover the repairs. She also connected us with reliable contractors who could do the work at fair prices.

We closed two weeks ago, and Sarah still checks in with us. She's sent us recommendations for everything from furniture stores to the best coffee shops in the neighborhood. She even dropped off a housewarming gift on moving day.

Sarah didn't just help us buy a house—she helped us start our life together in Toronto. We can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for an agent who truly cares.
