Homes in Mississauga and the GTA are expensive, but just because you are paying upwards of half a million dollars for a newer home doesn't mean the neighbourhood will fit with your lifestyle.Make sure to check out the neighbourhood's curb appeal before buying

Having worked with many newcomers to Canada, I can tell you first hand that buying a home is a complicated process and if you are coming from outside of the country it is even more so.

Negotiation in Real Estate
The ability to negotiate is one of the most important skills a realtor can have, and with change in the wind for our real estate market, I think negotiation in real estate will be more important than ever.
