Buying With Troy

From "Let's Start Looking" to "Welcome Home"

Buying a home is the largest investment most people will ever make. With over thirty years of experience and a thousand families served, you’re not learning the process alongside your realtor — you’re being guided by one.
Why Buy With Me

A Buyer's Agent Who's Been On Your Side For Thirty Years.

When you reach out to me, you reach me — directly. The same way I’ve worked with every client since 1991.
i

Direct, Personal Representation

Every showing, every call, every offer — handled by me. No assistants, no junior associates, no handoffs. You get one experienced advocate from first conversation to final signature.
ii

Off-MLS Access

Many of the best homes sell before they ever hit MLS. Three decades of relationships across Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and Edmonton means you often see properties before the sign goes up.
iii

Discipline At The Negotiating Table

I’ve negotiated more than a thousand transactions — including marketing and selling out twelve full multifamily developments. That experience translates directly into stronger results for you.
The Process

Six Steps. One Clear Path.

A simple, structured approach refined over thirty-plus years — designed to take the stress out of buying and put the focus on finding the right home.
01

The Conversation

We start with a relaxed, no-pressure conversation. What kind of home are you looking for? What’s the timeline? What does life look like once you’re in it? I listen first.
02

Financing & Pre-Approval

I’ll connect you with trusted local mortgage brokers — none of whom pay me referrals. A clean pre-approval makes you a serious buyer and sets a confident budget before we start touring.
03

Tailored Search & Showings

You’ll receive a curated list of properties — including off-MLS options when they exist. We tour together. I share what I’d want to know if I were buying it.

04

The Offer

When we find the right home, I write a strong, well-researched offer. I structure terms, price, and conditions to protect you — then negotiate firmly and respectfully on your behalf.
05

Due Diligence & Conditions

Inspections, financing confirmation, condo documents, title review — I coordinate everything and walk you through what each piece means before you waive a single condition.
06

Possession & Beyond

Final walk-through, key handover, and a relationship that doesn’t end at closing. Most of my work today comes from clients I’ve sold to before — and the families they refer.
Mortgage Calculator

Estimate Your Monthly Payment.

A quick, no-strings calculator to help you ballpark a monthly mortgage payment before getting pre-approved. Adjust the home price, down payment, rate, and term to see how each one moves the number.

When you’re ready for an actual pre-approval, I’ll connect you with one of the trusted Edmonton-area mortgage brokers I’ve worked with for years.

Common Questions

Buyer Questions Answered.

A short list of the questions I get most often from first-time and experienced buyers. Don’t see yours? Call me directly — that’s what I’m here for.

How much do I need for a down payment in Alberta?

The minimum down payment in Canada is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above. Below 20% down, you'll also pay CMHC insurance. For most Edmonton-area buyers I work with, anywhere from 5% to 20% is normal — and the right answer depends on your overall financial picture, not a rule of thumb.

Do I need a buyer's agent — and what does it cost me?

In most Alberta transactions, the seller's side covers buyer's agent commission. Working with me as your buyer's agent typically costs you nothing out-of-pocket, while giving you a fiduciary duty representative on your side. I'll explain exactly how this works at our first meeting.

How long does the buying process actually take?

From "let's start looking" to keys in hand, most of my buyer transactions take 30–90 days. Pre-approval can happen in a week, finding the right home varies, and the closing window is typically 30–60 days from accepted offer. Cash buyers and motivated timelines can move much faster.

Should I get a home inspection?

Almost always, yes. A good inspector costs $500–$700 and can save you tens of thousands. I work with several inspectors I trust personally — none of whom pay me referrals — and I'm at the inspection with you to ask the questions you might not think to ask.

Can you help with new builds or pre-construction?

Yes. Beyond resale, I've spent thirty years selling new multifamily developments alongside builders like BRASS III and Tessco. I know how show homes work, what to negotiate on a builder contract, and what to insist on for upgrade allowances and possession terms.
