Military Relocations


Serving our military and assisting them with their military transfers is an honour to me, and is an important part of my business. I have experience with the DNDIRP practices and assisting our military families with their moves. As an authorized Military Relocation Realtor® in Ottawa, my military clients can expect the utmost in service from me whether they are moving from Ottawa or relocating to Ottawa. 

If you are moving out of Ottawa, I will:

  • Contact a reputable Realtor® in your destination city who will provide you with all of the services necessary to find the perfect home
  • Provide you with a market analysis to help ascertain the value of your current home
  • List your home on the MLS® system and other websites I have at my disposal to give your listing as much exposure as possible
  • Help you through the negotiation process of an Agreement of Purchase and Sale
  • Ensure your lawyer has all necessary paperwork related to the transaction

If you are moving to Ottawa, I will:

  • Work with you by phone or email to determine your detailed housing requirements
  • Provide you with information on the local real estate market, city maps, schools, and any other information you might wish to have about Ottawa
  • Plan your HHT (house hunting trip) to make the most of the short period of time you have here
  • Assist with the selection of a DND approved lawyer and home inspector
  • Negotiate the offer and Agreement  on your behalf

 

THE HOUSE HUNTING TRIP         

Before you even get here we will already have discussed your housing requirements and, in all likelihood, I will have sent you many listings that meet your criteria and will have received your feedback on them.  When you are ready to view homes, we will be off and running, spending anywhere from a few hours to the entire day (and maybe even 2 days) viewing properties that meet your criteria. We will create a short list, in priority order, of acceptable properties.  Once your #1 choice is selected, an offer is prepared. We should hear back on that offer the same day or the next morning at the latest and then, hopefully an agreement will be reached. Appointments for Home Inspections are setup for the next day if possible. You will contact your lender and your insurance company as soon as your offer is accepted because you will have limited time to get these approved. The whole buying process should be completed by the end of Day 4 at the latest so that if something goes wrong such as a bad inspection then you have time to move onto your second choice.
