    FAQ - Buying & Selling

    While we close transactions everyday where people are selling their home to buy another home, we recommend that this be avoided and that you get a bridge loan so that both transactions can close separately and not rely upon one another. If there are any issues with the sale of your property (ie: the buyer is delayed getting their funds from their lender) this will affect the closing of your own purchase and you would incur additional extension fees to the seller of your purchase.
    We charge $400 plus HST for a bridge loan which includes working with your lender to get funds on the day of closing for your purchase as well as obtaining a payout statement and paying off the bridge loan with closing funds from your sale transaction.
    If you are buying and selling on the same day, we require your sale transaction to close first. This is usually closed between 2-5pm. We then would expedite your purchase transaction that would close thereafter. Unfortunately we do not have any control over third parties such as other lawyers, couriers, lenders and banks.

    Once we have all documentation from your lender we will be able to finalize the documentation for you to sign. If our instructions are followed and we receive mortgage instructions more than 5 business days prior to closing we will be sending you an appointment request 2-5 business days before closing. We prefer not to have you sign on the day of closing as it causes you too much stress.
    You select the time and location of where you want to sign your documents. For example, Saturday night at home, or during lunch time at work, or after work at home.

    You may select from one of our 30+ locations as to where you want to pick up your keys. Please be sure to let us know which location you prefer early on in the process to ensure that we have enough time to instruct the seller’s lawyer who is responsible for sending keys to such location.
    Keys are available for pick up at the office (presuming the Seller’s lawyer has followed instructions on where to send keys) that you selected on the day of closing but only when your deal closes. Typically, purchase transactions close between 2-5pm. We have closed deals before such time but normally your deal will close in the afternoon. Once the transaction closes, your law clerk will email you confirmation that the deal is closed and you can proceed to the office location selected to pick up your keys. Ensure you are at the office for key pick up before 5pm.

    Used RealEstateLawyers for selling of a property. Due to Covid they have asked for all the information required for the sale ahead of a virtual meeting for signature to ensured the process was easy and less time consuming. The experience was great and would recommend them and would use them again.
