This First Time Home Buyer Guide helps you go from dreaming to moving in. It shows you what to do, when to do it, and how to make smart decisions at every step.

Buying your first home is exciting — but it can also feel stressful. There’s so much to learn, and it’s easy to make mistakes. The good news? You don’t have to do it alone.

Created by Dana Gain, MBA, award-winning real estate broker serving Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, and Caledonia, this guide gives every first time home buyer the tools to buy with confidence.

Why This Guide Matters

If you’re a first time home buyer, timing is everything. Prices are rising. Mortgage rules change fast. And great homes sell quickly.

This guide helps you stay ahead. You’ll learn how to prepare, what to expect, and how to act before the best homes are gone. It’s your plan for buying smart and feeling confident — even in a fast market.

What You’ll Learn

1. Financial Readiness

Before buying, you need a strong financial foundation. This guide shows first time home buyers how to save for a down payment, build credit, and plan a budget that works.

2. Mortgage Basics

Mortgages can be confusing. This section explains them in simple terms. Learn how to get pre-approved, compare lenders, and lock in the best rate for your first home.

3. Finding the Right Home

Not every home fits your life. This guide helps first time home buyers find what truly matters — location, price, and future value. You’ll discover how to choose a neighbourhood that feels right and makes sense for your goals.

4. Making an Offer

When you’re ready to make an offer, small mistakes can cost big money. Learn how to protect yourself, write a strong offer, and stand out from other buyers.

5. Closing the Deal as a First Time Home Buyer

The final steps are important. You’ll learn what happens during inspections, appraisals, and closing. Each part is explained in clear, easy words — no confusion, no surprises.
