Selling Your Property, Step by Step

Selling a property is a serious undertaking, and it is wise to be properly informed.

Before: Making Sure You Are Well Prepared

Selling a property is a complex undertaking. It is therefore important to be well informed and supported. By choosing to do business with a real estate broker, you are protected under the Real Estate Brokerage Act. To make sure you are well prepared, we recommend that you first learn about a broker’s role, and more specifically his duties and obligations when it comes to the sale of your property.

During : The steps to selling your property

If a buyer is interested in your property after visiting it, they will fill out a "purchase agreement" with their broker, which will indicate to you under what conditions they are committing to buy your property. You can then accept their purchase agreement or make a counter-offer.

After: The Finalized Purchase Agreement

Once the offer is accepted and all conditions are met, the transaction must be formalized. This step primarily involves two actions by the notary: the examination of the titles and the drafting of the deed of sale. According to the Civil Code of Quebec, a notary is required for the transfer of ownership. The notary also ensures to bridge the gap with the financial institution to discharge the seller's mortgage and register that of the buyer.
