The Buyer Experience
Our 8 Step Buyer Process is the Secret to Success
Our 8 Step Buying Process
Real estate isn’t just what we do — it’s how we do it.
There are hundreds of agents in Sudbury. But if you’re looking for a team that leads with strategy, honesty, and a little personality, that’s us!
At Lake City, we do real estate differently.
We combine expert guidance with no-pressure support, from your first open house to the day you unpack. Our 8 step buying process ensures you’re set up for success.
It Starts With You
We don’t just send listings and hope for the best. We’ll grab a coffee (on us, of course), sit down and get to know your unique buying situation — your goals, your timeline, your budget, and your non-negotiables.
Then we’ll build a custom buyer plan just for you. No two buyers are the same, and real estate should never feel cookie-cutter. We want to know more than just the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you need; we want to know you like having friends over for Friday night board games, or you host the Super Bowl party every year (in both cases, an entertaining rec room would be a must). This helps us better understand your needs and wants beyond surface level.
Walk the Market With Us
Not ready to write an offer? We’ll guide you through neighbourhood trends, pricing insights, and value-for-money comparisons across the city, without pressure, so you can be the most educated buyer.
Some of our buyers jump in after one showing. Others need to see 50+ homes. We're here for both, at any pace you’re comfortable with.
🗣️ “Life’s too short for a boring real estate agent — and too important to work with one who rushes you.”
See What Others Miss
We go beyond the listing sheet.
Our team of experts is trained to analyze the pros and cons of every home, from unpermitted renos to spring flood zones to resale value.
We’re not afraid to say, “Let’s keep looking.” This isn’t about closing a deal; it’s about making the right decision, and we want to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with the home you’ve worked so hard to get!
Ready to Buy? We Shift With You
Once you’re ready to move from “learning” to “let’s do this,” we move with you. When you work with us, you’ll get:
Real-time tailored listings
Access to off-market and coming-soon opportunities
Our trusted mortgage, inspection, and legal partners
Clear action steps so nothing feels overwhelming
We keep it organized, calm, and totally transparent.
Craft a Winning Offer
It's not a fluke our Broker of Record David Kurt ended up in Real Estate; since the age of 6, Monopoly was always his favourite game and he prided himself with pulling complex negotiating strategies. Well, several years later, the art of the deal and negotiating real estate transactions are still one of the passions that drive the team.
In a competitive market, price is only part of the strategy. We will break down the 5 elements of a winning offer — from deposit to conditions — and guide you through how to stand out while protecting your interests.
Backed with deep market data and years of deal experience, our negotiation strategies get results.
Handle the Fine Print
Yippee, you've got an accepted offer! Does that mean you've bought a house? If you’ve met all your conditions (if any), then yes! Now it’s time for us to handle the fine print. We obsess over the details so you don’t have to.
We’ll manage:
Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
All necessary paperwork
Due diligence
Communication with your mortgage broker and lawyer
Beyond the negotiation, we also ensure our clients fully understand the contracts they are signing. We do this by explaining all the paperwork that you will be signing in “layman terms” (written for actual people to understand, not just realtors and lawyers). We encourage you to take your time to review the paperwork and ask any questions you may have.
Gimme the Keys!
You get more than a transaction. You get a team for life. From when the sold sign goes up to the day you get the keys, we are available around the clock for any questions you may have. We make sure that your lawyers have all the required paperwork on closing so there are no hold-ups on the day you've got the movers lined up!
We're here for you beyond 4 PM that afternoon of closing when you get your keys (and the work of moving in can actually begin). We stay in touch with local recommendations, market updates, and ongoing support — long after the keys are in your hand.
Need a plumber? Painter? Pizza place? We’ve got you.
Celebrate! 🥂
