House hunting? Before you fall in love with a granite countertop or get lured by staged furniture, press play. In this episode, I break down 6 essential tips to help you find the right home and avoid costly mistakes that most buyers only realize too late.

Ciao! Welcome to a new episode of Building Wealth Through Real Estate...Brick by Brick with me, Nico James-Bock, Founder of The CondoWiz™ Group and Broker at Keller Williams Co-Elevation Realty in Toronto.

✅ Whether you're a first-time buyer or making your next big move, these insights will help you shop smarter, act confidently, and buy with peace of mind.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

1. Know Your Non-Negotiables – Get crystal clear on what you need vs. what you want.
2. Get Pre-Approved, Not Just Pre-Qualified – Why it matters and how it gives you a competitive edge.
3. Location > Features – What can’t be changed is more important than you think.
4. Think Beyond the Photos – Don’t judge a home by its online cover.
5. Do a Price Reality Check – How to know if a home is fairly priced or setting a trap.
6. Look Past the Staging – Spot the red flags that designer throw pillows can’t hide.

📍 Based in the GTA? Let’s talk. I help buyers like you build wealth through smart real estate decisions.
