First-Time Buyer Resources

Take advantage of every opportunity to make your home buying journey easier

Buying your first property can come with a lot of questions—and a whole lot of advice from every direction. I’m here to simplify it. Whether you’re casually browsing or actively preparing to buy, you deserve clear, practical guidance. This page includes the key programs, rebates, and tools that can help you buy smarter, not harder—and avoid those “I wish I’d known” moments.

💡 Pro tip: Even if you're still a year or two away from buying, opening an FHSA or talking to a mortgage broker early can help you move faster when the time comes.

I work with a lot of first-time buyers, and here’s what I know: most people aren’t looking for a crash course in real estate. They want to feel informed, supported, and prepared. That’s what this page is all about. These resources will help you understand your options, tap into real savings, and move forward with clarity and confidence. When you’re ready, I’ll be here to walk you through the rest.
