How PropertyCentre.ca can help you if you are buying real estate or a business

PropertyCentre.ca offers advantages over the traditional approach if you are buying a home, or thinking of acquiring a business. In the past, a buyer contacted the real estate agent who of course, by law, acts for the seller. The buyer would present the offer through the real estate agent, and if the offer was accepted, the buyer had to retain a lawyer or notary to act for the buyer to transfer title and register the mortgage to finance the purchase.

Now PropertyCentre.ca offers to buyers the potential to save a significant amount on the purchase. If you make an offer to purchase real estate, or acquire a business, by using the services of PropertyCentre.ca, we will show you how a portion of the commission or fees normally paid by the seller to the selling real estate agent can be used to pay your legal fees and reduce your costs. The savings to you as the buyer can be as much as $1000.00 or more depending on your particular circumstances. This means you could have the title to your new home, and the mortgage financing required to help pay for that home, transferred and registered in your name without any cost to you as the buyer.

If you are buying a business, we can again use the portion of the real estate commission or fees typically paid to the selling broker applied towards your legal fees. In most cases, this will be sufficient to off-set your actual legal fees such that you pay little or nothing for legal fees.

Of course there are other benefits of using the legal services offered through PropertyCentre.ca such as:
