What to Expect from Your Buyer Consultation with Xing Gao

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make—and it should feel exciting, not overwhelming. That’s why I offer a personalized buyer consultation to help you feel confident, informed, and supported from day one.

Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

A Relationship Built on Trust

As a REALTOR® with an MBA and over 7 years of experience, I bring more than just market knowledge—I bring authenticity, honesty, and a commitment to your goals. I believe in doing the right thing, always putting your needs first, and making sure you feel confident every step of the way.

Understanding Your Needs

This process is all about you. During our consultation, I’ll ask questions to understand:

  • Your preferred way to communicate (text, email, phone)
  • Who’s involved in the purchase and mortgage
  • Your timeline and reasons for moving
  • What kind of home you’re looking for (type, budget, location, features)
  • Whether you’ve been pre-approved for a mortgage

The more I know, the better I can tailor the search to your needs.

The Home Buying Journey—Simplified

Here’s how we’ll move forward together:

  1. Get pre-approved and prepare your finances
  2. Sign a Buyer Representation Agreement
  3. Start home shopping and book showings
  4. Find “the one” and make an offer
  5. Negotiate terms and conditions
  6. Fulfill conditions (financing, inspection, etc.)
  7. Celebrate on closing day!

I’ll guide you through each step, answer your questions, and make sure nothing gets missed.

I’m With You—Before, During, and After

I’ll help you:

  • Find the right home (even if you spot it first—just let me know!)
  • Navigate open houses (remember to list me as your agent)
  • Make a strong offer with the right conditions
  • Coordinate inspections, paperwork, and deadlines
  • Stay supported even after you move in

And don’t worry—my services are paid by the seller, not you.

What About Closing Costs?

Here’s a quick look at typical closing costs:

  • Deposit: $15,000–$25,000 (due with accepted offer)
  • Home inspection: ~$550 + HST
  • Land transfer tax: 1–2% of purchase price
  • Legal fees: $900–$1,300 plus adjustments
  • Adjustments: property taxes, condo fees, title insurance, etc.

I’ll walk you through all of this so there are no surprises.

Let’s Get Started

Whether you’re buying your first home or your fifth, I’m here to make the process smooth, informed, and even enjoyable. Let’s connect and talk about your goals—I’d love to help you find the perfect place to call home.
