The Closing Process for Sale Transactions
Reviewing the Agreement of Purchase and Sale
Before anything else, Zachary reviews the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) to confirm that the terms are accurate and that your interests are properly protected. This includes verifying the purchase price, deposit amount, title conditions, and closing timelines. For sellers, it ensures obligations are clear and achievable.
Title Search and Due Diligence
The title search confirms legal ownership, boundaries, and any registered easements, liens, or encumbrances affecting the property. Zachary’s office reviews title early in the process and works to resolve any issues before closing, helping ensure clear title can be given and that the transaction complies with the Planning Act and applicable municipal requirements.
Financial Adjustments
We calculate any applicable mortgage payouts with fees, and adjust property taxes, utilities, and other closing costs to finalize the transaction accurately.
Signing Appointment
Clients can choose between a virtual signing appointment via video conference or an in-office meeting. During this appointment, Zachary walks clients through each document, explains what they’re signing, and answers any questions about the legal or financial aspects of the closing.
Closing Day
On closing day, Zachary’s office handles the exchange of closing funds, requisite deliveries, financial payouts and final reporting. Once title is registered, mortgages are paid out and sale proceeds are sent to the client. Clients also receive a detailed final report and copies of all registered documents for their records.
