Do I need a real estate lawyer to sell a home in Saskatchewan?

Yes. A lawyer transfers title through ISC, prepares the closing documents, discharges your mortgage and makes the transaction binding. Real estate agents cannot provide legal services, and the legal work is a required part of every Saskatchewan sale. Budget $800 to $1,500 for a standard transaction.

Your lawyer typically costs between $800 and $1,500 for a standard sale, depending on the complexity of the transaction. If you have a mortgage to discharge there may be an additional lender fee. Your lawyer will provide a breakdown of all legal costs before closing.

Joel Dyck works with trusted Saskatoon real estate lawyers and can refer you to one as part of the listing process. The lawyer is your advocate at the closing table, and having the right one makes the process smooth.
