Start Your House Hunting Journey With A Mortgage Pre-Approval!

What is a mortgage pre-approval?

A mortgage pre-approval is where a mortgage professional looks at your finances and determines the maximum amount of money you can borrow to purchase a property. Most REALTORS® will not show properties until buyers have a realistic price range on what they can afford. There is no obligation to purchase or commit to that lender

Advantages of a mortgage pre-approval:

Helps determine your price range
Peace of mind in knowing your financing is already in place
Ability to negotiate a price that fits within your budget
Locks in an interest rate for a set period of time
Show sellers that you are a serious buyer
Assists in the negotiation process
Faster closing time

At Leblanc & Associates, we have vetted and worked extensively with many local mortgage professionals. We would be happy to connect you with some incredible and TRUSTED professionals to get you one step closer to homeownership!

Client Testimonials

Mel and Steve showed remarkable patience and resourcefulness throughout our year + long purchasing process. They were extremely efficient at securing timely viewings and submitting short notice bids on several properties in a very challenging buying market. They made sound recommendations and expertly steered us through the acquisition of our new home. They provided contacts and arranged for lawyer, inspector, and any other service required. Our sincere thanks to the whole team.

Robin and Brenda M.

Mel, Steve, and the entire team at Leblanc and Associates were the best decision we ever made when it came to purchasing our home from out of province. From virtual showings where Steve showed us exactly what he was seeing (“Always look inside the dishwasher, it shows how well they have cared for their home!”) To Mel giving us the most clear, concise, and direct advice when we finally decided to build, we were truly blessed to work with such an amazing team! They will stand by you 100%, fight for you when needed, and are absolutely the team to work with during what is a very stressful and emotional time. If you want the kind of team that will deliver results, give you the straight goods, and stand by you, Leblanc and Associates are your team.

Krissy C.

Melanie and her team were very helpful through the process of finding me a home. I purchased during the crazy market of bidding wars and price rises and as we know it is not a buyers market. Melanie handled my stress and frustration really well. She was so responsive everytime I msged her and she dealt with my flip flopping back and forth with options of a new build, buying land, and purchasing already built. It has been a 6 month roller coaster ride but I’m happy that Melanie was there to help me through it.

Stephanie V.

Steve exemplifies professionalism in every aspect. As first-time homebuyers in a dynamic seller’s market, his composed demeanour had a calming effect on us, preventing any sense of being overwhelmed (although we were certainly whelmed!) Our initial search spanned a wide range, and Steve accommodated all our viewing requests, going above and beyond, even scheduling two viewings on Good Friday (thank you once again, Steve!). His extensive knowledge became evident as he brought our attention to numerous factors that had never crossed our minds. This invaluable guidance helped us gradually refine our needs and wants. Equally important, he provided honest feedback exactly when we needed it most. His suggestion to narrow our search focus allowed us to seize the next great opportunity with promptness. Within a week, we had an accepted offer! We are delighted with our new home, and the timing couldn’t be better as we are expecting our first baby in a few months! We wholeheartedly recommend Steve and the exceptional team at Leblanc and Associates.

Alex C.

We had the privilege of working with Melanie who provided invaluable guidance and recommendations throughout the entire selling process. From start to finish, her expertise and support made selling our home a stress-free experience. She took time to fully understand our goals, preferences, and concerns, and tailored her approach to meet our specific needs. Melanie’s knowledge of the market and trends proved invaluable when listing our property and we would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor.

Britany B.

Melanie is simply the best! From helping us buy our house in 2019 to selling it effortlessly in 2023, she exceeds all expectations. Her no-nonsense and warm friendly nature instantly makes her feel like more of a friend than just someone offering customer service. She cares about people and it shows. There’s nothing left to chance when working with Melanie, her expertise and attention to detail ensures the process is as smooth as possible. If you’re looking for an exceptional realtor, look no further than Melanie, you won’t regret it.

Kate M.

Our family moved to Nova Scotia from British Columbia so we were not able to be physically available to view the farm properties during our search. Kim was amazing at coordinating the viewings via zoom and accommodating us for the 4 hour difference in the time change. Kim was always very professional and forthcoming with the purchasing process and evaluating properties. She went out of her way on numerous occasions to help us find the right farm property for our family. She was diligent in analyzing the areas we were looking to ensure they were the right fit for our family (i.e.: close to resources, schools, quiet community, library, etc.)…

Sheryl C.

I couldn’t recommend the services of Melanie and her team enough! She guided us through our military move as first time home buyers back in 2017, and made the entire process as seamless as possible. Fast forward to 2023, and our selling experience was even more smooth. I reached out early and used their selling check list to prepare as much as possible in advance of getting ready to list. We followed Melanies reccomendations on listing a bitearlier than anticipated to get ahead of the influx of homes in the spring market and it payed off! Multiple offers, over asking, and sold within 24hrs! From staging, to photos and marketing, Melanie has the best people on her team to help set you up for success when selling. I never want to go through the process again, but if we every need to purchase within HRM again, we will not hesitate to use Melanie and her team!

Katrina S.

Proactive, efficient, professional and attentive are only a few characteristics that define the team and level of customer service at Leblanc and Associates. Going above and beyond to accommodate our many requests, Melanie made our purchasing experience down right easy, and gave us the full confidence to complete the transaction over virtual means. Melanie is truly the standard by which all others should be measured. We cannot thank Mel and her team enough. Highly recommended; there just is no other option when it comes to a Realtor!

Melanie Q.

I was so fortunate to have found Mélanie when I moved to Halifax 4 years ago. She help with here great networking to have an ease integration to community. As our Realtor, she helped me find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. She was patient as I traveled from outside the province to look at homes. Same approach when it was time to sell my house 2 months ago. I got a very good support from her strong team over several days and sold the house with ease. Again I can reach all her good networking to ease the selling process. Mélanie and team know very well the market and Mélanie offer bilingual service.

Bruno P.

I reached out to Melanie and her team after getting a recommendation from a friend. She was very quick to get back to us to iron out the details of our home wish list. As this was a military move we had 5 short days to find something. The showings we went to were split between Steve and Mel as their schedules permitted. They are both very knowledgeable and in tune with what we were looking for so it was great to have two great realtors for the price of one. They were both very responsive to our calls, texts, and email and Kirsten(in the office) provided excellent to support in feeding us and receiving our correspondence. Despite the tight schedule we were successful in finding a house that we love and Mel and her team expedited the inspection and purchase paperwork. Thanks again for all your hard work. Highly recommend you use this team for your buying or selling needs.
