Let me introduce myself. I am John Di Flaviano (“diflav”), a former condominium auditor and NOW Realtor serving the GTA and surrounding areas. My fortunate four year stint as a condo auditor has launched me into the most explosive growth niche of the real estate industry, being the condo market. There are two components that fuel this explosive growth: 1) Affordability and 2) Expensive Land Values and Air Rights.You may ask yourself, John, how will your background help me in my journey of buying a condo? Well that’s a simple question for me to answer. Not only have I amassed a great wealth of knowledge during my auditor days but I have the strong industry relationships to increase my knowledge base and find out information quickly. My strong negotiating skills coupled with being aligned with three of the top condominium specialized lawyers translate to professionals looking after your best interests. The most important tip that I could share with anyone thinking of buying a pre-construction condominium is “you better know exactly what you are getting into by signing agreements and schedules which form part of the developer’s agreement documents.” By not understanding exactly what you are getting into simply translates into future obligations or costs that you are responsible for but didn’t expect or understand.Remember, the days of buying a condo for $200,000 are over and coupled with the pressures that young people have nowadays in saving for a down payment for their first home/condo purchase, this should not translate into making any hasty and quick buying decisions.You need “diflav” in your corner for the following reasons: The most important step in buying a condo (pre-construction or re-sale) is having a Gameplan. My ten step buying process will take most of the stress out when buying a condo. My strong negotiating skills, VIP lists of condos launched and good relations with condo developers really translate into savings for my pre-construction condo buying clients. I always provide my clients with alternatives as part of their unique Gameplan, with my recommended suggestion. I provide my clients with extra incentives when buying a condo under my wing. Let’s start your journey of buying a condo together, Not just any condo but the condo that is right for you. Introduction John Di Flaviano, Belfield Realty Limited, Brokerage Former Condo Auditor turned Condo Realtor/Educator | Real Estate Broker of Record | Informational Seminars Did you know that condo’s are not created equally nor are they managed equally. I’ll share with you an example. A developer builds on a plot of land different condos through Phases either with or without shared facilities and adjoining walkways. The two condos in the first two Phases may look exactly alike, but that is the only thing that they will ever have in common. What could these differences between the two condos be: Agreements, Stipulations that are part of agreements, Property Managers, Board of Directors, Lawyers, Maintenance Cost Contracts, Owners/Renters ratios. These are just a few factors to consider. Please read some of the articles that I have written myself about Condos by clicking my Linkedin Page…https://www.linkedin.com/in/diflavcondos/.I will gladly accept you as a contact and my articles will give you some insight into my knowledge base about condos. Introduction John Di Flaviano, Belfield Realty Limited, Brokerage Former Condo Auditor turned Condo Realtor/Educator | Real Estate Broker of Record | Informational Seminars My goal in every client relationship is to ensure that I have considered all factors when buying a condo, while removing the emotional aspect when it’s time to go into the “trenches”. I always default to the Gameplan that we have agreed upon while removing any hype in the equation. This truly translates into a more focussed buying strategy for my clients. Introduction John Di Flaviano, Belfield Realty Limited, Brokerage Former Condo Auditor turned Condo Realtor/Educator | Real Estate Broker of Record | Informational Seminars My background serves families, young people, couples that downsize and retirees. The stage of life that one is in should dictate the type of condo that you are buying and usually should correspond with the budget that you are setting aside for your condo purchase. Your financial snapshot is the most important starting point that will help me guide any condominium purchase.
