Your first home
Clear explanations of the parts nobody explains: financing conditions, inspections, strata documents and closing costs. Room to ask questions before making a commitment.
Buy with us · Chris Sinclair
A clear head for the biggest purchase.
A good search gets more precise as it goes. Chris brings financial discipline, patient comparison and a close reading of the home to every decision.
In Chris’s words
A home should feel right. The number should make sense.
“My job is to help you see what the asking price doesn’t tell you.”
My background is in business. I hold an MBA, and I use it. Knowing what a house sold for down the street matters. I also want to understand why.
I follow the wider economy: how interest-rate decisions can affect borrowing, how migration shapes demand, and what those changes might mean for a neighbourhood over time. Real estate happens inside an economy. I pay attention to both.
Then I look closely at the home itself. Does the asking price stand up to the evidence? How long has it been on the market? Which comparable actually compares? I watch the local market closely because the details can change the decision.
Whether this is your first purchase, an investment or a move to the Island, I’ll give you an honest second opinion. If a property isn’t right, I’ll say so. If it makes sense to wait, we’ll talk about that too. Trust is something I try to earn on every call, every showing and every offer.

03
Your move to the Island
When you can’t be here, Chris can be your eyes on the ground and your honest second opinion. Local context, a careful look at the property and a clear account of what he finds.
The working order
From a broad search to a specific decision.
Five stages, with enough room to change your mind when the evidence changes.
- 01
Set the brief
We turn budget, timing and daily life into a useful search, with room for the brief to change.
- 02
Read the market
Recent sales and current competition establish what the asking price does and does not tell us.
- 03
Walk the homes
We compare condition, setting and value while the details are still fresh enough to be useful.
- 04
Test the choice
Financing, inspection, title and documents get the time and specialist attention they require.
- 05
Make the offer
Price, dates, subjects and leverage are considered together before anything is signed.
Useful before we meet
Start wherever the question is.
A useful first conversation
Bring the question before you bring the decision.
Chris can help make the search smaller, clearer and more useful from the beginning.
