Update to the CMHC’s publication, “Homebuying Step-by-Step”

By | March 10, 2017

CMHC has updated its guide for prospective homeowners.

The guide is a useful tool for those interested in learning about buying a home, and the role CMHC plays in governing the marketplace.

Chapters include:

  1. Decide if home ownership is right for you (an often and critically overlooked question by most homebuyers)
  2. Check if you can afford to own a home (see above)
  3. Finance your home
  4. Find the right home
  5. Make an offer and close the deal
  6. Maintain your home and protect your investment

The guide goes into detail with guides, workbooks and checklists and is an invaluable tool, especially for the first-time homebuyer.

Client Testimonials

We worked with Jon Ablett. In addition to being prompt, flexible, and organized, he did a great job of explaining the legal details of all our cases. The service we receive from Jon Ablett and Quarry Park Law is consistently thorough and efficient. The staff have been a pleasure to work with and we would recommend them for real estate and business law in particular.

Professional and effective service. I would like to take this chance to thank Alex for legal advise on a business matter & Jonathan for the smooth transition on the sale and purchase of our homes and coming all the way to Edmonton!

Recently worked with Alya. I was extremely impressed with the results we got. She was very accommodating and very patient with all my questions. Will definitely come back for any future legal needs.

This is the third time I've used Jonathan Ablett for buying or selling a house. The first time was three and a half years ago, then this past month he helped with the home we sold and then the house we just bought. He is very professional, makes an effort to have a flexible schedule, always works in your best interest, and will answer every question you have. I recommend him to anyone requiring a lawyer for property reasons.

Alison J.

I wish to acknowledge the professionalism, and support that we have received from Alya Nazarali.  Alya was there to educate and advise us each step of the way in our legal matters.  I appreciated the way Alya took the time to understand our situation and built our case by negotiating, and mediating positively on my behalf with a purpose to continually move progress forward.  I recommend Alya and Quarry Park Law to anyone seeking fair and professional legal representation with family law matters.
