Frequently asked questions

How long does a search take?

On average, our searches complete in 45 days (from mandate to accepted offer). Total time until keys is 3 to 4 months, the standard delay between sale agreement and final deed.

How many properties will I view?

On average, 5 to 8 viewings are enough to find the right property. Your hunter pre-views 20 to 30 to spare you unnecessary trips.

Does the hunter accompany me on viewings?

Yes, always. Your hunter points out areas of attention, asks the right questions to the agent or owner, and helps you evaluate the property objectively.

Can I change my criteria during the search?

Of course. The search is an iterative process. As viewings progress, you refine your criteria. Your hunter adjusts the search accordingly.
