Financing has to be lined up before the offer, not after, since a lender needs a pre-approval on file regardless of where the buyer currently lives, and a mortgage broker familiar with out-of-province or out-of-country income documentation can move that step faster than a generic online application.
A home inspection condition, typically covering a $400 to $600 inspection, matters even more for a buyer who has not walked the property in person, since it is the one in-person check standing between a video tour and an as-is purchase.
Once an offer is accepted, a lawyer and Information Services Corporation handle the title transfer, and the buyer can complete the purchase without ever setting foot in the home before possession day. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
