Understanding the process

01 Cost of selling your home

Standard costs you can expect to pay to include:

  • legal costs for services, including a statement of adjustment

  • a mortgage discharge fee to remove the collateral hold on your home (known as a “release” in Quebec)

A statement of adjustment requires the buyer to reimburse you if you prepaid your property taxes past the date on which you sell your home.

Other potential costs:

  • realtor or real estate agent fees

  • moving costs

  • staging fees, if you choose to stage your home yourself or pay a professional to make your home more appealing to potential buyers

  • cleaning fees, if you choose to hire a professional cleaner

  • mortgage prepayment penalties, if you sell your home before the end of your mortgage term


02 Setting Your Home’s Sale Price

To help you set the right sale price for your home, you can:

  • compare current sales listings of similar homes in your neighbourhood

  • ask a realtor to suggest a price

Remember to factor all of your selling costs into your sale price.

03 Important Documents

Once your home is on the market, gather any documents that will help you with the selling process, including:

  • deeds

  • surveys

  • property tax receipts

  • renovation contracts

  • transferable warranties
