Making The Next Step Easier
Doing anything for the first time can be overwhelming. At Judge Team, we are here to make buying your first home one of your most memorable experiences. Our goal is to sit down with you to learn all of the details, such as your budget, "must-haves," location, style, and many other items you may never have considered. We don't stop at that; we are with you every step, including until closing the sale.
Experience & Knowledge Matters
The benefits of working with a licensed realtor, especially a JUDGE Team one, are one of the most critical aspects of buying a home. Having experts from the real estate industry helps to make the process as seamless as possible. As a top-notch Real Estate Team, we can compile all your information into our internal system so you will never miss out on a new listing. Having advanced knowledge of properties before they are publicly available makes buying your first some that much more enjoyable.

Once this has been established, we’ll lay out a plan to keep the process running smoothly.

Frequently Asked questions
Is it essential to get pre-approved for a mortgage?
It's easy to get overwhelmed when looking at houses, and not knowing what you are pre-approved for can often add extra stress. With a fast-paced market like the Okanagan, it's essential that you don't waste time looking at houses that may not be within your budget. With interest rates constantly changing, and being pre-approved, you can lock in a guaranteed interest rate for 120 days, making it one less thing to worry about when deciding on your perfect home.
JUDGE Team works with a group of preferred partners, including mortgage specialists who can provide you with all the ins and outs of buying a home as it relates to your finances.
