For Sale by Owner Condo

A private condominium sale still involves title, condominium documentation, and closing arrangements.

Signing legal documents

Clarify the terms

Contact us early with the agreed terms and any draft contract. Identify parking, storage, deposits, possession, and relevant deadlines.

House keys and model home

Coordinate completion

Provide mortgage, tax, and condominium details. We work with the buyer’s lawyer on the legal requirements within our agreed scope.

Private sale terms for a condominium

A private condo sale needs a written agreement addressing the unit, parking, locker, deposit, conditions, completion date, and included items. Direct negotiation does not remove the need for clear legal obligations.

Independent interests

Discuss representation and document responsibilities early. The seller and buyer may require separate advice even where the transaction is friendly or the terms appear simple.

Status certificate and shared facilities

Arrange the corporation documents needed for the transaction and allow time for review under any agreed condition. The package addresses the corporation as well as the unit.

Explain the ownership arrangement

Identify common expenses, exclusive-use facilities, parking arrangements, and relevant rules. Provide notices about assessments or disputes so questions can be addressed before closing.

Deposit handling and closing coordination

Agree a reliable process for the deposit, written notices, signing, and exchange of funds. The legal closing still involves title inquiries, secured debt payouts, adjustments, and registration.

What our office needs

Send the proposed or signed agreement, property details, buyer’s lawyer information, mortgage records, and relevant corporation correspondence. We discuss the scope and next steps for your private sale.

Prepare the private condo transaction

A private condominium sale combines direct negotiation with corporation-specific documentation. Clarify the process for ordering and reviewing records, giving notices, and completing conditions. We discuss the agreement and closing retainer so each party understands the legal steps and responsibilities.

Documents to prepare

  • Agreed commercial terms and buyer’s contact details
  • Unit, parking, locker, and corporation records
