You walk into your first Ottawa showing and love the kitchen. Then the questions start.

What will the monthly costs actually be? What needs attention? Is this a home you can comfortably own—or just one you can qualify to buy?

You don’t have to figure all of that out while standing in the living room.

Before we start touring, I’d help you get clear on your comfortable budget and priorities. During the search, we can separate the things you can change from the ones you’ll live with.

You’re allowed to like a home and still ask hard questions.

What part of buying your first home feels least clear right now?
