Why Buy With Tyler

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. My job is to make it clear, calm and well negotiated, from the first showing to the day you get your keys.

Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or investing, I take the time to understand what you need, then back every recommendation with real local data. You’ll also get private access to off market, office exclusive listings at my brokerage that you won’t find on MLS® or public listing sites.

I’ll help you get preapproved so you know exactly what you can afford and sellers see you as a strong buyer, and I’ll refer you to mortgage specialists, home inspectors, lawyers and contractors I trust.

Service & commitment

What to expect when buying with me

  • Access to more homes: everything on MLS®, plus Re/Max Premier office exclusive listings that aren’t publicly advertised.

  • Local market insight: clear advice on neighbourhoods, home values, competition and closing costs, so you know what a home is really worth before you make an offer. I’ll also point out any tax savings you may qualify for, like first time buyer land transfer tax rebates.

  • Homework done for you: I look into zoning, permitted uses and other details of a home so there are no surprises before you commit.

  • Strong negotiation: as a certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), I negotiate hard for the right price and terms, and advise you on the best approach in competing offers, including how to protect your offer information.

  • Paperwork handled: from the Buyer Representation Agreement to the offer and closing, I prepare and explain every document.

  • Less stress: I handle the scheduling, follow up and communication with sellers, lawyers and lenders, so you can focus on your move.

  • Access to my trusted network: you’ll get my guide to lawyers, inspectors, movers, trades and more, so you always have reliable people to call, long after closing.

How it works

Guiding you the whole way

The right home is out there. I’ll help you find it, and get it at the right price.

1. Let’s meet

We’ll talk about the home you want, your budget and the areas you love. I’ll answer your questions and walk you through the Buyer Representation Agreement together.

2. Find the one

I’ll set up listing alerts so you see new homes the moment they hit the market, book private showings and help you compare each home with real data.

3. Offer and closing

I’ll prepare your offer, negotiate on your behalf and guide you through conditions, deposits and closing, so you get your keys with confidence.

Tools for Buyers

See what you can afford, estimate your mortgage payment, land transfer tax and closing costs before you make an offer, and get new listings emailed to you as soon as they hit the market.

Buying a Home: Common Questions

How much does it cost to hire a buyer's agent in Ontario?

In Ontario, you and your agent agree on how the agent is paid in a written Buyer Representation Agreement. Often the seller's side offers a commission to the buyer's brokerage, which can cover some or all of it. I'll explain exactly how it works for your purchase before you sign anything.

What do I need before I start looking at homes?

Start with a mortgage preapproval so you know your budget and sellers see you as a strong buyer. Then plan for your down payment and closing costs, which usually add 2% to 4% of the price. My closing cost calculator helps you budget.

How long does it take to buy a home?

It varies. Some buyers find the right home in a few weeks, others take a few months. Once your offer is accepted, closing is usually 30 to 90 days later, depending on what you and the seller agree.

What happens if there are multiple offers?

In a competing offer situation, price is only part of it. Deposit size, conditions and closing date all matter. As a Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), I'll help you build a strong offer while protecting you from overpaying.

Can you show me homes that aren't on MLS®?

Yes. As a Re/Max Premier agent, I can give you access to office exclusive listings that aren't advertised on MLS® or public listing sites.
