Executors have a sequence to follow. Title is administered through Information Services Corporation and generally has to be transferred into the executor's name before a sale can complete, which is handled by a Saskatchewan lawyer under the Law Society of Saskatchewan. Budget $800 to $1,500 in legal fees on the sale itself. Where several beneficiaries share the estate, a documented valuation is what keeps a disagreement about price from becoming a disagreement about motives.
Varsity View adds a specific complication. Many of its 1920s to 1950s homes were converted to student rentals decades ago and rented continuously since, so the condition inside can be very different from the curb appeal. Whether a suite is on record with the City of Saskatoon changes both the buyer pool and the price, because an investor will pay for legal income and discount an illegal one.
Long held homes also carry improvements nobody wrote down. A newer furnace and shingles, a rewired panel, a basement finished for tenants and a kitchen replaced years ago are invisible to public records and to every online estimate. Joel Dyck's hand-reviewed valuation walks the property, separates the documented from the undocumented, and gives the estate a date of death value it can defend.
