"It was a pleasure dealing with Frank Rudge on the purchase of our new home. Frank always took the time to thoroughly go through each house with us that we looked at, and was very responsive to our needs.

We will definitely be working with Frank again in the future.

I also referred Frank to a co-worker for the sale and purchase of a new home and they were thrilled with the service he provided."

The Importance of a
Home Inspection

Whether you are buying a house or condo and regardless of its age, you should always have a Home Inspection done by a qualified professional. A Registered Home Inspector will examine the home's major systems including electrical, plumbing, heating, roofing, foundation, interior and exterior.

What Can I Afford to Buy?

Before you start looking for your new home, you need to understand what you can afford. This will depend on the downpayment you have, your earnings, personal debt, etc.

Frank works closely with Christine Campbell, an experienced and personable Mortgage Specialist at TD Canada Trust. Link to Christine's website. To determine how much you can afford, go to the Mortgage Calculator.
