"They were a great team that represented us as we navigated Toronto's property market. Being new to Toronto, the Smith Proulx Team took the time to help us understand the various villages, property options, and ultimately helped us buy the perfect house for our family. Excellent, friendly, professional service."

Our 9 Steps to Buying a Home

When we work together to buy your home, here’s how the process works.

1

Meeting You

During an informal meeting, we learn your needs, goals, and home-buying preferences!

2

Pre-Approval

We help you get pre-approved for financing by referring you to a mortgage broker we know and trust.

3

Setting Your Criteria

We set an automated search for homes meeting your criteria; matches will be delivered to your inbox daily.

4

Expanding the Search

To build on our search efforts, we reach out to seller and real estate contacts—and look into private and upcoming listings.

5

Viewing Properties

When you decide that a home has potential, we coordinate with seller’s agents to set up a viewing!

6

Evaluating Home Worth

We prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help you understand the true value of the property you’re interested in.

7

Making an Offer

Once you have the relevant information, we’ll help you craft an offer that both appeals to sellers and serves your interests.

8

Negotiating

Working well with others is one of our strong suits, and it comes in handy when we’re negotiating for you.

9

Closing Details

From completing the mortgage approval process to performing the final walkthrough, we’re there to help you wrap things up!

Due Diligence,
Done Right

Our many years on the job have taught us a lot about home construction. From structural problems to mechanical issues, we’ve seen it all. Thankfully, our experience means there’s nothing we can’t handle.

We’re also connected to reputable local experts—from mortgage brokers to home inspectors to real estate lawyers. They help us ensure that the details of your purchase are handled with care!
