How We Actually Protect You
Real issues we've caught before clients signed on the dotted line
Infrastructure Promises
Timeline Reality Check
Buyers were promised LRT access to Mahogany by 2025. As of today, construction hasn't started. We show clients the actual City of Calgary infrastructure timelines, not builder marketing.
Hidden Cost Savings
$47,000 Saved
Identified stackable incentives the builder didn't volunteer, negotiated lot premium reduction, and caught a possession delay clause that would have cost dual mortgage carrying costs.
Site Analysis
Lot Selection Issue
During community research, discovered a major electrical transformer would be installed in the front yard of a client's preferred lot. Helped them select a better lot before signing.
Zoning Changes
Future Development
Caught a re-zoning application for adjacent land that would have changed from low-density to multi-family. Client avoided buying next to future townhome development they didn't want.
Warranty Traps
Contract Clause
Found warranty exclusion clause for defects not reported within 7 days of possession. Most buyers take 2-3 weeks to notice issues. We negotiated 30 days and proper PDI documentation requirements.
Builder Substitutions
Quality Control
Builder attempted to substitute hardwood with engineered flooring and granite with quartz without price adjustment. We documented the original spec and negotiated $8,500 credit for the substitution.
