WORK WITH DEREK 

- The real Alberta down payment tiers and current FHSA and Home Buyers Plan limits, so you know exactly how much you actually need before you start looking, not a rough guess.

- A full Calgary closing cost breakdown, legal fees, inspection, land titles registration, and more, so nothing catches you off guard in the final weeks before you get your keys.

- What Derek's 20+ years in construction sales catches on a walkthrough that a typical agent misses, so you know what you're really offering on.

- The current new-build GST rebate rules for first time buyers, so you know whether a new build or resale actually makes more sense for your specific numbers.

Q: What if I go through this and realise I'm not ready to buy yet? 

A: That's a completely normal outcome, and honestly a useful one.  Knowing exactly where you stand against real numbers, not guesses, is the whole point of the checklist.  I'd rather tell you plainly that you need six more months than let you find that out the hard way partway through a purchase.
