![]() The first formal step in marketing your property is to enter into a Listing Agreement - a contract that commits us to actively market your home for a specified period of time. It also commits you to a pre-established marketing fee that is to be paid upon the successful closing of the sale. I may require the following documents:
Plan
of Survey or Location Certificate - A Survey of your
property which outlines the lot size and location of buildings
as well as details of encroachments from neighbouring
properties. This may be required in certain areas to complete
the sale of your home. Your legal professional may recommend a
survey, especially if significant changes have been made to your
property.
Property Tax Receipts - Most Listing Agreements require that the current annual property tax assessments be shown. Mortgage Verification - Few homeowners know the exact balance of their mortgage as it is paid down. You will be asked to authorize your mortgage lender to provide the figures required. Deed or Title Search - This document is a legal description of your property and the proof that you own it. Other Documentation - In some instances, it may help the sale of your property if you can provide prospective buyers with information on such items as annual heating, electrical, and water expenses, as well as any recent home improvement costs. Note: In many provinces you will be required to sign a property condition disclosure statement.
