Your Journey to
Home Ownership
We guide you through every step — from pre-approval to keys in hand.
Get Pre-Approved
We connect you with trusted mortgage professionals to determine your buying power before you start searching.
Property Search
Tell us your areas, budget and must-haves. Laura or Kristina picks the homes that fit and emails them to you, and tells you which ones are worth seeing quickly.
Home Tours
We arrange private showings and help you evaluate every property with a critical, expert eye.
Offer Strategy
Before you offer, we pull recent sales of comparable homes so you know what the home is likely worth. Then we talk through price, deposit, conditions and closing date, including what to do if other offers come in.
Due Diligence
Home inspections, title searches, status certificates — we ensure you know exactly what you're buying.
Closing Day
We keep your lawyer, lender and inspector on the same timeline and walk the home with you before closing.
What a buyer’s agent does for you
A buyer’s agent works for you, not the seller. Here is how that works with Laura Brown and Kristina Kritikos, REALTORS® with Royal LePage Burloak.
How you get matching homes
Fill in the custom search form with your areas, price range, property type and must-haves. Laura or Kristina picks the homes that fit and emails them to you. You can also browse Burlington homes for sale and Hamilton homes for sale on this site.
How we judge price and offers
Asking price is the seller’s opinion. We compare the home with recent sales of similar homes nearby and with what else is for sale, so you know what it is likely worth before you decide how much to offer and which conditions to keep.
How representation and pay work
Our first consultation is complimentary. Before you sign a buyer representation agreement, we explain how our brokerage is paid, including whether compensation is being offered through the seller’s brokerage. All fees are disclosed and agreed to upfront.
What happens after you send the form
Laura or Kristina gets in touch to confirm what you are looking for. Then you start receiving homes that fit. There is no obligation, and you can ask us to stop at any time.

Why not just browse REALTOR.ca?
Listing sites are a good place to look. They show asking prices; we can show you what similar homes actually sold for, book showings, read a condo’s status certificate with you, and negotiate the price and conditions on your behalf.
What buyers say on Google
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Maria Angelescu to purchase our new home, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! … Her expertise and dedication saved us a significant amount of money, and her attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free.”
“I wish I could give 10 stars for this amazing real estate team! I had to buy and sell my home while taking care of 2 young kids and working full time and this team got it done! The realtor (maria) was SO patient and kind and held my hand through every step.”
“Outstanding experience with Kristina! Selling a 1+ den condo in a tough market takes real expertise, and when I found my dream townhouse, Kristina truly made magic happen.”
