Homebuyer Seminar: Ottawa Real Estate for Self-Employed Buyers & Newcomers
Buying a home in Ottawa can feel like a lot to take in, especially if you are self-employed, new to Canada, or stepping into the market for the first time. This seminar brings together three professionals who work with these buyers every day, so you can leave with real answers and a clear picture of what comes next.
You will hear from a mortgage broker who specializes in financing for self-employed clients such as Uber drivers, contractors, and small business owners, along with newcomers building their credit profile in Canada. You will also hear from a real estate lawyer who walks through the legal side of a purchase, including what to expect at closing and the documents that protect you along the way. And you will hear from a local real estate agent who guides you through the Ottawa market, from your first showing to keys in hand.
