Start Your Home Journey
Meet Christine Côté, More Than a REALTOR®, Your Home Matchmaker
I blend strategy with soul. Because your first home isn't just a purchase, it's the start of a new chapter.
I've helped over 100+ people find their home in Moncton and surrounding areas. What I bring to you is depth, honesty, emotional intelligence, and the ability to simplify this whole process so you never feel lost.
If you're overwhelmed, I steady you. If you're excited, I help you move with intention. If you're unsure what you want, I help you find clarity.
This isn't "sales." This is guidance, heart and hustle. Let's make your first home feel like home.
The First-Time Buyer Roadmap Step by Step.
No more guessing. Here's exactly how we'll work together to find your perfect home, from our first conversation to moving day and beyond.
01
Discovery Call
We talk through your goals, timelines, fears, dealbreakers, and dreams. Zero pressure. Just clarity. This is where we get to know each other and I learn what truly matters to you.
02
Budget + Pre-Approval
I set you up with trusted lenders (or work with yours). You learn exactly what you can afford, no surprises, no hidden costs, just honest numbers you can plan around.
03
The Home Match Process
I curate homes based on lifestyle, neighbourhood fit, future plans, and the "quiet things" you didn't know to ask. This isn't about seeing everything, it's about seeing the right things.
04
Touring Homes
You get my honest takes, not rehearsed lines. I'll point out what most agents overlook, from structural concerns to neighbourhood dynamics to resale considerations.
05
Offer Strategy
We build a smart offer based on data, market conditions, negotiation style, and your comfort zone. You'll understand every decision and feel confident in every move.
06
Accepted Offer → Closing
Inspections, paperwork, timelines, lawyers, I keep the chaos organised and understandable. You'll know what's happening, when it's happening, and why it matters.
07
Move-In Support
I stay with you past closing. Contractors, utilities, questions, you're not left alone once you get your keys. Your success is my success.
What You Don't Know You Need (But Absolutely Do)
Buying your first home is full of blind spots, not because you're unprepared, but because no one teaches this stuff. The process is complex, the stakes are high, and there's so much information online that it's hard to know what actually applies to your situation.
Here's what I help you understand upfront, so you can make decisions with confidence rather than anxiety:
  • The real cost of owning a home : not just mortgage payments, but property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, and those unexpected repairs
  • How to read a property like an inspector : spotting red flags before you fall in love with a space
  • How to spot a "pretty but problematic" home : beautiful staging can hide expensive issues
  • Which areas in Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview, and Shediac make sense for your lifestyle, commute, and future plans
  • How to future-proof your decision : thinking about resale, family growth, career changes, and lifestyle shifts
  • What to ignore online : and what actually matters when you're making the biggest purchase of your life
This is the kind of clarity that saves you thousands of pounds and months of stress. Knowledge is power, and I'm here to empower you.
Why First-Time Buyers Love Working With Christine
Real estate is full of noise. I help you hear your own voice through it. Here's what makes the difference when we work together:
Plain English Guidance
I explain why something matters, not just what to do. I translate real estate jargon into language that makes sense for your life.
Budget Protection
I protect your budget like it's my own, ensuring you never stretch beyond comfort or miss opportunities that fit perfectly.
Emotional + Strategic Support
I guide you emotionally and strategically because both matter. Your feelings are valid, and your future is important.
The Right Pace
I slow things down when the market feels fast, helping you move with intention rather than pressure or panic.
Neighbourhood Expertise
I help you understand neighbourhoods, resale potential, and long-term strategy across Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview, and Surrounding Areas.
Ready When You Are, Let's Start Your Home Journey
Whether you're ready to move tomorrow or just starting to explore, I'm here when you're ready. You don't need all the answers. Just the right guide.
Your first home is waiting. Let's find it together with clarity, confidence, and absolutely zero pressure. Book a friendly, informative call and let's talk about what home means to you.
