Larson Lambe Real Estate Group

For five generations, Catherine's family has been a part of the Victoria community. Her ancestors came to the area before it even became an incorporated town, and her roots run deep into the soil of southern Vancouver Island. For 30 years, her home has been in downtown Victoria. It's the same home where she raised two children, where she started her own business, and where her two giant koi live happily in her backyard pond.

The first step in searching for your home is understanding how large of a mortgage you can afford. With a few inputs, you can determine how much mortgage you may be comfortable with and the potential price range of your future home.

Knowing your total household income, how much you've saved for a down payment, and your monthly expenses (car payments, loan payment, living expenses, and so on), plus new expenses you'd take on (property taxes, condo fees, utilities), you can get a reasonable estimate.

Requesting a copy of our exclusive Buyer's Guide is an excellent idea if you are thinking about buying a home in the Victoria area. In the guide, you will see thorough market-leading information detailing the steps to buying a home, appointing an agent, funding, and a lot more.

Generally, the majority of real estate transactions happen without an issue; however, most people have a hurdle or two. Quite often, these hurdles are routine, but sometimes they can be more complicated. Real Estate Agents have divided loyalties, and it's because of this that mistrust can occur. One party or the other could hesitate where the agent's loyalties lie.

We aim to make your home buying experience enjoyable and exciting, not prolonged and exhausting. The property market of today sees homes available quickly but then sold just as fast, even faster if they are great properties.
