Real estate law
Buying or selling
A purchase, a sale, or both on the same day. The legal work that turns an accepted offer into a registered transfer and a set of keys.
Which applies to you
Buying
We review your agreement, search title, deal with your lender's instructions, prepare the closing documents and register the transfer into your name.
Selling
We prepare the transfer documents, obtain and settle your mortgage payout, reconcile the adjustments, and distribute the proceeds to you.
Both on one day
The most common arrangement, and the one where timing matters most: the proceeds of your sale usually fund your purchase. Held as one file so one person sees both sides.
What most people get wrong about timing
The legal work on a closing is not the slow part. Waiting for documents is. Mortgage payout statements, lender instructions and condominium status certificates all come from third parties at their own pace, and each is a common reason a closing date slips.
Whichever of these applies to you, the single most useful thing you can do is send your documents as soon as your file opens rather than assembling them near the date.
