Do I need both a real estate agent and an lawyer in Saskatoon?

Yes. Every Saskatchewan real estate transaction requires a lawyer to close, since title moves through Information Services Corporation and only a lawyer can complete that transfer, and a real estate agent handles a separate part of the deal entirely, pricing, marketing and negotiating the offer.

The agent's role ends once an offer is accepted and conditions are met, at which point the lawyer takes over: ordering the title search, preparing the statement of adjustments and disbursing funds on possession day.

Legal fees for a straightforward Saskatoon transaction typically run $800 to $1,500, and your agent does not choose your lawyer for you, so it is worth lining one up early rather than scrambling once an offer is accepted.

Joel Dyck coordinates timing with your lawyer throughout the deal so nothing stalls near possession day. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
