​

Congratulations on your real estate transaction! If you are buying or selling a house or commercial property, chances are you are embarking on a new chapter of your life. This can be an exciting time, but also a busy and somewhat stressful one.A real estate lawyer's job is to make sure that you can concentrate on the good things, while we focus on dealing with the stressful ones.

 

My goal is to alleviate as much of that stress as possible by making your transaction smooth and hassle free. Whether you are the type of person who would like to be kept updated at every step, or the type of person who just wants to know when it's done, I am here to assist you.

​

Residential Purchase and Sales

My words;

​

Your real estate lawyer's job in a transaction is to make sure that your interests are protected, and to facilitate the sale or purchase. While it is common practice in Alberta to sign a residential contract before speaking to a lawyer, it is your lawyer's job to make sure that you understand what that contract says in it's entirety. 

​

There are obligations and liabilities associated with a real estate transaction, and pitfalls that your lawyer will watch out for. Please never hesitate to ask your lawyer for clarification on what a clause or term means in your contract. Lawyers deal with things like encumbrances, RPRs, and mortgage instructions on a daily basis, but we understand that most people have never heard these terms before and it is our duty to make sure that you understand them. 

​

Once the contract has been reviewed your lawyer will get to work gathering the necessary documentation and creating the paperwork you will need to fill out in order to finalize the deal. We will liaise with the other people involved in your transaction, such as your mortgage broker, real estate agent, or condo board, to get everything ready.

​

Some real estate transactions may have hiccups, such is the way of things. It is how your lawyer deals with those hiccups that will make all the difference in your experience.

​

Commercial Real Estate 

​

Like in a residential sale, a commercial real estate lawyer's main job is to protect your interests and make sure you are aware of the obligations and liabilites that are involved with the transacction. Unlike residential real estate, a lawyer is often consulted before the contract is signed in order to assist with negotiations and to perform due diligence.

Mortgage Refinancing

Their words; Mortgage refinancing is a process of replacing the original mortgage on your property with a new mortgage, generally with different terms than the original mortgage.

 

In most cases, refinancing your mortgage will require finding a new lender who will pay off your current mortgage.

 

Mortgage refinancing can be beneficial in some situations but disadvantageous in other situations. Most property owners refinance their mortgage to improve the terms of their current mortgage agreement.

My words; If you are thinking of refinancing or have already started the process it is best to contact a lawyer.
