A high-level map from search to keys. Not a substitute for a purchase agreement, lawyer, or lender.
Define the brief, then search For Sale. Compare a short list on price, carrying cost, and location — not photos alone. Listing data can lag; treat PropertyBin as discovery, then confirm with the listing brokerage.
Book through the listing contact or your own agent. Walk the property with a checklist: water stains, windows, mechanicals you can see, parking, storage, and noise. A showing is not an inspection.
An offer is a written proposal: price, closing date, inclusions/exclusions, and conditions. Competing offers happen in some markets. Your representative should explain strategy; PropertyBin does not write or accept offers.
Common condition themes in Canada include financing, home inspection, review of condo documents, and sometimes sale of the buyer current home. Each condition has a deadline. Missing a deadline can have legal consequences — ask your lawyer or agent, not a website.
A deposit typically accompanies an accepted offer and is held in trust according to the agreement and local custom. Amount, timing, and who holds funds vary. Never wire money because a stranger on a listing chat asked you to.
After conditions are satisfied or waived, a lawyer or notary typically handles title, adjustments, and funds on closing day. Budget time for insurance and utility transfers. Estimate extra costs with tools — they are not invoices.
