Azim Rizvee of MinMaxx Realty knows that immigrants as first-time homebuyers “have more special needs” than buyers who are established in this country.
His team at MinMaxx is geared to help guide new immigrants through the complicated home buying process. Language can be a major barrier for this group of buyers and at MinMaxx there is a strong chance that an agent can speak their language. Among the agents are Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and Polish speakers.
“Immigrants need a lot more hand holding in addition to what other new homebuyers need,” Rizvee explains.
His agents are skilled at finding the community that fits the new immigrant’s cultural background, another important factor in working with this group. Taking this into consideration will make the buyer feel more comfortable in a new neighbourhood.
New immigrants are eligible for some special terms offered by banks. MinMaxx agents are familiar with these financing packages that may not require an established credit history or employment on the part of mortgage applicants.
According to Rizvee, of the 300,000 immigrants who come to Canada every year, 100,000 settle in the GTA. He says MinMaxx has the top selling team in the GTA today and can put their skills to work for first-time home buyers, no matter what their background. His advice to first timers is to contact a realtor who knows the community.
