The process of purchasing a Kelowna home is very complex. If you are unaware of how this process works as a first time home buyer, it can be a daunting task. The best thing you can do to ensure this process is as smooth as possible is to hire a Kelowna real estate agent. A Kelowna real estate agent is working with your best interest in mind. As this is your first time purchasing a home, you want to ensure that you understand everything in order to close your sale.

Not getting pre-approved

We highly recommend as a first time home buyer you get pre-approved for a mortgage. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage will show you exactly what range you need to stay within. The worst thing that could happen would be you begin this process only to find out that you do not qualify for a mortgage.
