How Do I Get My First Mortgage?

Buying that first home should be an exciting time, and with the proper guidance, it doesn’t have to be as stressful as you might think. When you’re ready, consult with a Karista Mortgage Strategy Manager to:

  • Give you advice and details for your downpayment
  • Find out if you qualify for the first-time home buyers grant
  • Find out how much you can borrow and the deposit required
  • We will provide you with step-by-step guidance from your goal setting up to making sure that we have a strategy in place for you to buy your first property plus your second, third, or fourth houses in the future.

Your First Home Is Closer Than You Think

Now that you’ve learned how much you can spend, you’ll be able to search for a home you can afford to enjoy. Once you decide that this home is “the one,” you’ll need to make a formal offer to buy the property and we will be there to help you:

  • Choose the best loan product and strategy to fit your needs
  • Help you evaluate the property you’ve fallen in love with and If it is a good value and solid investment, we’ll guide you through the offer and closing process.
  • Have a strategy in place for you to buy your second, third, or fourth properties in the future.
