Understanding Real Estate

Buying a first home in Hamilton is one of the biggest financial decisions a family will make - and one of the least explained.

  • How a mortgage is actually assessed, and what lenders look for
  • What a down payment means for your monthly costs
  • The costs that surprise first-time buyers
  • The difference between an agent, a broker and a lender
  • Questions to ask before you sign anything
