Shopping for a new home is one of the most exciting experiences you'll come across in your lifetime, and surely one you'll want to enjoy while being smart and diligent in the process. When looking for a loft that brings with it all the character and uniqueness you love so much, you'll have to be extra sharp and quick to ensure that you land the loft you like. Here's a new buyer's guide to the Edmonton market, which is specifically useful when looking at Edmonton lofts.

Keep Yourself Informed: Daily Searches

Since particular lofts can be quite unique and offer certain styles that come on the market much less often than your standard condo, it becomes increasingly important to stay on top of the market. You can see lofts for sale in our favourite buildings here. Staying on top of the current listings is certainly worth it when you find that you're one of the first to be notified of a new listing, though, and there are other measures you can take to ensure you're the first to know.

Hire a Professional: Why You Need a REALTOR®

Having a professional real estate agent to assist you in your home search only becomes more critical when you're searching for a unique kind of home, like an Edmonton loft. So hire a REALTOR® sooner than later, and ask them to put you on an "auto update" system. This will ensure that you're immediately notified when new listings that meet your search criteria come onto the market. Having a professional working for you also means that you have your hand in another, viable pocket that can lead to plenty of opportunity - the inside scoop on new, up-and- coming loft listings.

Once Found: Be the First to View and Offer

Having a professional working for you also becomes important once you've found the loft you'd like to buy. Being first to view the home gives you a significant advantage in the negotiation process because you'll have a higher chance of making an offer before there is too much other interest. Since other interest means competition, being the first to view and the first to offer gives you a significant advantage in securing the property. Ensuring that you're pre-approved for a mortgage is another key to having the ability to remove this subject in a timely manner. This further ensures that there isn't another offer made while your offer is still in the "subject stage."

When it comes to securing your dream loft in Edmonton, the real key is professionalism. Having the help of a realtor can make a world of difference, and their advice on the particular property will also come in handy during your decision-making process. So do things right, and ensure that you're ahead of the curve when it comes to securing your dream loft.
