Buyer guide

Your starting guide to a power of sale search in Durham.

A practical set of questions to bring to your broker, mortgage professional, and lawyer.

A useful property search begins with a clear brief. Before focusing on an address or asking price, write down what you need, what you can afford, and what you still need to find out.

Begin with your priorities.

Choose the communities you would consider and the requirements that matter most to you. Keep essentials separate from preferences: space, property type, accessibility, and the places you need to reach regularly.

Our community pages show the size of the site’s archive. Some records may already be sold. Sign in to examine the information for an individual property and confirm its current status with the listing representative.

Build a property question list.

  1. Current status: Is the property still available? What process governs the sale?
  2. Financing: What can your lender confirm about your situation and this specific property?
  3. Condition: What inspections or additional professional assessments would help you understand it?
  4. Sale terms: What conditions, schedules, deposits, and closing requirements are in the proposed agreement?
  5. Total cost: What allowances will you need beyond the price itself?
RECO cautions that mortgage pre-qualification does not remove the need to consider a financing condition. It also highlights the risk of omitting an inspection condition in a competitive offer.

Bring the right people into the conversation.

Your broker can discuss the property search and the offer process. A mortgage professional can address your financing questions. A real estate lawyer can review the documents and explain their legal effect for your transaction.

Use the listing as a starting point for questions. A lower asking price, a sale label, or a large archive count is not enough information to decide whether a property fits your plans.

When you are ready, bring your community shortlist and questions to a consultation with Tony.
