James and Sarah Martin (names anonymized), long time residents of Milton, Ontario, decided to sell their family home to downsize and enjoy their retirement. They quickly realized that selling a home was much more complex than placing a sign on the front lawn. From understanding their disclosure obligations to navigating the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS), the process felt overwhelming.
That’s when James remembered passing a newly opened law office at Derry and Thompson, Patel Law PC. Intrigued by their promise of free initial consultations, he and Sarah scheduled a meeting. The moment they walked into Patel Law PC, their concerns started to ease.
Navigating Disclosure Obligations
During their consultation, the Martins learned about the importance of Ontario’s property disclosure requirements. Their lawyer patiently explained how failing to disclose issues such as past water damage or renovations without permits could lead to legal troubles down the road. Sarah sighed with relief as they worked together to create a clear, honest, and comprehensive disclosure.
Protecting Interests with a Strong Agreement
When an offer came in, James and Sarah felt excitement, but also uncertainty. The lawyers at Patel Law PC thoroughly reviewed the APS, pointing out key areas to consider, like the closing date, buyer conditions, and deposit terms. Thanks to this careful review, the Martins confidently signed an agreement that fully protected their interests.
Handling Closing Costs Transparently
As closing day approached, James was anxious about surprise costs. However, Patel Law PC clearly outlined all potential expenses, including legal fees, real estate commissions, mortgage discharge fees, and property tax adjustments.
