Private Sale
-
Rather than listing their property with a real estate agent, many vendors are choosing to sell their homes by private sale, including utilizing internet private sale facilities offered by such as Property Guys and Kijiji. Though the Vendor may be selling privately, this does not preclude a prospective buyer from using the services of a professional real estate agent. When you think about it, of the two parties, the vendor and the purchaser, it is the purchaser most at risk in the transaction. Accordingly it is the purchaser who most needs the assistance of a professional to advise on matters of concern such as determining a fair price and ensuring the agreement of purchase and sale contains appropriate clauses to promote the best interests of the buyer. Buyers Agency Network Inc. can provide assistance to the home buyer in private sale transactions. Two service levels are available: - (1) preparation of the contract between vendor and purchaser, a legally binding agreement of purchase and sale, containing terms agreed to between vendor and buyer and with appropriate clauses to promote the best interests of the buyer, all at a cost as low as $450.00;
- (2) full representation including (a) searching for homes that are being sold privately, (b) arranging appointments and accompanying the buyer in the viewing of homes, (c) advising on price and (d) acting on behalf of the buyer in the negotiation process to arrive at terms acceptable to both parties.

Finding a Deal
Having a lawyer and buyers agent roled into one has significant benefits in many areas.
- Q: What is the benefit of having a lawyer involved before signing an offer to purchase?
- A: An Offer to Purchase can sometimes call for clauses that are not typical. Where an offer calls for special clauses to be added, an agent who is unfamiliar or uncomfortable with their legal effect will have you seek the opinion of a lawyer before signing.
