Purchasing a new-build home is a big milestone, and there’s no denying that there’s a lot involved. From scouting locations to deciding what kind of home you’re interested in — be it a condo, townhouse or single-family home — and narrowing down the design styles that appeal to you, it helps knowing that you don’t have to go through the homebuying process alone. You know that Empire is a homebuilder and you’ve likely discovered the variety of product and floor plans we offer, but how do we really help you purchase a new home? Read on to discover the role of our sales team and how they assist you throughout the entire home search process.

1. Face-to-Face Interactions
Making connections with our buyers has always been our top priority, and face-to-face encounters help with that. Our sales team is happy to meet with you whichever way you feel most comfortable. Whether it’s in-person or virtual, we give you the full experience of visiting the sales office so that you have access to the same information regardless of the way you choose to visit us. If you meet with us virtually, we’ll walk you through our model homes using Matterport tours and answer any questions you may have. We know how important it is to put a face to a name and want to reassure you that you’re working with a reputable sales representative from our team.

2. Arranging Financing
We know that arranging financing is no small feat — it’s a big step in the homebuying journey, and an important one too. To set our buyers up for success, we give them the opportunity to leverage our long-standing relationships and invaluable team. That’s why our sales team connects clients with a mortgage advisor who can help them qualify for financing. Knowing what a typical mortgage payment looks like prior to purchasing a home gives buyers the assurance they need to feel confident in their decision.

3. Step-By-Step Direction
Our sales team provides step-by-step direction throughout the entire homebuying experience. Once you’ve made your purchase decision with our sales team, we will fully explain what will happen in the months to come. Our representatives will introduce you to the decor team, and to your customer experience representative who will assist you on the next stage of your homebuying journey.

4. Your Community Ambassadors
When it comes to the ins and outs of the community you’re interested in, our sales team knows best. Because many of our sales team members live in Empire Homes across Southwestern Ontario and the GTA, we have our own personal experiences to share as homeowners. We have firsthand information on the best sports leagues for your kids, the tastiest restaurants, the most recognized schools and the largest parks. Think of us as experienced locals who can help you discover which community will suit your lifestyle best.
