Could this property be “the one”? Here’s an overview of the steps involved in becoming the owner. These steps and the legal implications remain the same whether the property is purchased from an individual or through a broker.
One of the first things to do when looking for a property is to get a mortgage preapproval from a financial institution. The goal is to determine borrowing capacity, and as a result, the price range to be looking in.
The property suits the budget and needs? Time to submit an offer to purchase! This document sets out the price, the elements included in the sale, the possession date, the conditions of purchase and all other information relevant to the sale.
Need the form?
The offer to purchase generally includes conditions. The most common are the property passing an inspection, the buyer providing proof of financing and the buyer selling their own property. Once the listed conditions are met, the property is considered sold.
The last step is to see a notary, who is generally chosen by the buyer. This real estate professional drafts the deed of sale and ensures that the interests of all parties involved are respected.
Once the deed of sale is notarized, the new owner gets the keys to the home. All that’s left is to move in!

Large plot, peaceful residential area developed in 2006, without neighbors in the back (wooded Cap Saint-François).
Ready to build, water and sewer services, the land had been cleaned and primed in 2013 for construction the following spring (residential plans approved by the City for construction), but life has made our goals evolved, and finally we decided to take away the land.
The terrain is in pie point, a lower front part (leveled ground) at the level of the neighbors and bottom of land with a more dynamic topography (notch) from which one can even see the Saguenay.
The front part allows us to plan the development of a residence of 29' x 44' on two levels with an adjoining garage of 12' x 24' (if you want to see the plans, we can send you an image!)
As soon as you move into the slope, it's full of blueberries (it's an annual bonus) and wild cranberries. A few raspberries. Even a little hazel tree.
Peaceful neighborhood, friendly neighbors, several children.
Grand terrain, quartier résidentiel paisible développé en 2006, sans voisins à l'arrière (boisé du cap Saint-François).
Prêt à construire, services d'aqueduc et égout, le terrain avait été nettoyé et apprêté en 2013 pour construction au printemps suivant (plans résidentiels approuvés par la Ville pour construction), mais la vie a fait en sorte que nos objectifs ont évolué, et finalement on se décide à se départir du terrain.
Le terrain est en pointe de tarte, une partie avant basse (terrain nivelé) au niveau des voisins et fond de terrain présentant une topographie plus dynamique (cran) depuis lequel on peut même apercevoir le Saguenay.
La partie avant nous permet de prévoir l'aménagement d'une résidence de 29' x 44' sur deux niveaux avec un garage attenant de 12' x 24' (si vous désirez voir les plans, on peut vous faire parvenir une image!)
Dès qu'on avance dans la pente, c'est plein de bleuets (C'est un bonus annuel) et de canneberges sauvages. Quelques framboises. Même un petit noisetier.
Quartier paisible, voisins sympathiques, plusieurs enfants.
