REAL ESTATE

Assisting you in buying, selling and financing residential and commercial real estate.

Real Estate Services

We will work with you and your team of real estate professionals (realtor, mortgage broker, lender) to make the process seamless.

You or your realtor will confirm we can act for you on your chosen closing date (and we will make sure we have no conflict).
You or your realtor will provide all necessary documents for your transaction (purchase and sale agreement, mortgage information, lien information, etc).
You will attend at our offices to sign the conveyancing paperwork with your lawyer. Your lawyer will go through the documents and explain them to you.
Once all the documents are signed, your lawyer works with your lender and the other side’s lawyer to deal with transfers of funds and registration of documents to transfer the land.

Lawyers and notaries charge almost the same amount to process a real estate file. The key difference is that in the event that something goes wrong, the notary cannot handle any disputes relating to the property and you will be left to find a lawyer for legal advice on an urgent basis. Whereas if you use a lawyer that has a litigation department, the file can stay internal and disputes can be resolved quickly.
Assuming the person is backing out of the contract after the rescission period, you definitely have options. Whether those options will practically be worth pursuing is another question. We highly recommend seeking legal advice before you make any decisions and before you agree to return the deposit.
As soon as you are getting serious about buying or selling a property, contact us! We can guide you through the initial stages of contract negotiation to final completion. Often, we do not hear from our clients until a contract is signed and subjects are removed, but we can help at all stages to ensure our clients are properly protected. If you have conditions that are unusual, we always recommend they be drafted by a lawyer in consultation with your realtor.
