Selling Real Estate:
If you sell Real Estate, we can help you to simplify the process. Our role as your Notary is to assist you in signing the documents, to attend to paying out and discharging your mortgage, and to ensure that you receive the appropriate sale proceeds.
Olesea Zadoinova, as the seller’s Notary, will provide the fundamental undertaking to clear title. In practice, this means that the seller’s financial encumbrances are the priority and should be paid first.
Payment will ensure most financial institutions will provide a registerable discharge in due course. In some cases, our office has to obtain the registerable discharges prior to allowing the transaction to complete.
Some tips for you:
- Retain our services early on so that we have sufficient time to process the transaction. Short notice transactions are possible, but may incur additional expense.
- Make sure to mention to the buyer if you have tenants. If the buyer intends to live on the property, make sure that proper notice is given to the tenants to vacate the property.
- Identify which items, as for example appliances, are included in the sale of your property. It is always better to determine this in advance and include it in the contract to avoid a disagreement after the sale has taken place.
