The first formal step in marketing your property is to enter into a
Listing Agreement - a contract that commits us as your Real Estate
Professionals 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.
We may also 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.
