As real estate agents, I help people with one of the largest financial purchases of their lives.

In divorce situations, the couple has to sell their largest asset—sometimes unwillingly. This makes these types of transactions very volatile, and a real estate agent must handle them with the utmost care.
Clients in the midst of a divorce are dealing with significant life changes and stress, which can affect their decision-making process
Both parties may have differing opinions and priorities regarding the sale of their home, leading to conflicts and delays.

Divorce proceedings often come with specific timelines and court-mandated deadlines.
Additional considerations may include splitting proceeds, addressing outstanding debts, and ensuring a fair division of assets.
Clients going through a divorce are likely experiencing a wide range of emotions, from sadness and anger to relief and hope for a new beginning.

Divorce transactions typically involve coordination with legal professionals such as divorce attorneys and mediators, as court orders or divorce settlements may dictate specific terms for the sale of the property.

Clients may be concerned about personal information exposure or their situation being discussed publicly.

Divorce can have significant financial impacts for both parties, such as outstanding mortgages, debts, and tax implications.

Therefore, I understand the importance of 

  • Building Trust Through Empath
  • Being knowledgeable of  the Legal Landscape
  • Keeping  Communication Clear
  • Being  Proactive and Meet Deadlines
  • Team Up With Experts
  • Maintaining  Neutrality

Residential Brand-New Property

What Do You Need To Know 

1. More risk

Deciding to purchase a new construction home versus a resale home can be difficult. New construction houses have many benefits, but there are also benefits to resale homes. Here are some differences between new construction and resale homes to help you decide.

There are three major types of new-construction homes. There are fully custom homes, new builds, and quick possessions; 

New builds allow for some customizations, but for the most part, items like floorplan, exteriors, and the base of the home come from the home style. You can choose your flooring, materials for cupboards and countertops, and other interior finishes, but the base is primarily decided by your home design. Although you get fewer customization options than a fully customized home, selecting the more standardized process will save significant time and money. The final kind of new construction home is the quick possession home. This home doesn’t allow you any customization choices because the entire home is already finished and move-in ready. You may not get to design the home, but a quick possession allows you to move into a brand-new home instantly and save some money that way.

Resale homes are homes that have already been lived in and are being sold as-is. No customization options exist, but resale homes tend to be much lower priced than new builds or quick possessions. 

ADVANTAGES OF NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES

1. More customization options
2. The home version of a new car smell
3. A newer home means a more environmentally friendly
4. The community is newer
5. Less maintenance costs

DISADVANTAGES OF NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES

1. The cost
2. Longer time frame to move in
3. Less community variety

Resale Homes
ADVANTAGES OF RESALE (EXISTING) HOMES
1. The cost
Resale homes can save you a decent amount of money when buying a home. They are exempt from GST and HST taxes, and just in general, because the house is older, you can often get a better price. There is also more room for negotiation when it comes to purchasing resale.
2. Move in ready
3. Neighbourhoods with more character
4. Established amenities

DISADVANTAGES OF RESALE HOMES
1. More risk
2. Less environmentally friendly

3. No customization
4. No warranty







 

FHSA

First Home Savings Account (FHSA), a type of tax-free account rolled out by the federal government last year to help Canadians save on their first home.
"Your contributions to the FHSA are tax-deductible, while your withdrawals — as long as you use them for the down payment of a purchase of your first home — are tax-free," said Gerry Vittoratos, a national tax specialist with UFile.ca.

The program allows prospective homebuyers to start saving for up to 15 years once they open an account, with an annual $8,000 deposit cap and a lifetime contribution limit of $40,000.

Canadians who've opened this type of account will receive a new slip called the T4FHSA, which will provide the details needed to complete your tax return, Vittoratos said.

Difference between the name on the house's Title VS.ts mortgage

If you own a house, you want your name on the deed. A house deed is an essential document proving that you are your home's valid legal owner. It gives you certain title rights, such as taking out a mortgage or buying, selling, renting, or transferring the house. 



People named on the home title have ownership of the house, while those named on the mortgage are responsible for paying for the home loan. The names on both documents are often the same, but this can change if the deed or mortgage is transferred or co-signers are involved.

It’s quite possible to live in a house for years without your name being on either the title or the mortgage. You probably did that very thing from birth until adulthood. But now that you’re a full-fledged grown-up, you’ll be interested in associating your name with the place you call home. This primarily applies to the home’s title, although there are repercussions for not having a part in the mortgage.
Names on the Title

When you sign papers to close on a home, you decide how you want your name to appear on the title. If you’re buying a home as a couple, you decide whether to add both of your names or just one. Often, circumstances change after closing on a home, however. A couple could get a divorce, or a person who bought a home solo may find true love and get married. A solo homeowner could also decide to bring a friend in as a roommate to cut down on the high costs of a monthly mortgage.

Not having your name on your home’s title can be a big deal. If you and your co-occupant decide to part ways, your name is not on the home, so technically, you’re homeless. If you have been paying half of the mortgage for months or years, the money you put into the home is gone. You’ll be forced to move out, and the other person can remain in the home or sell it. Either way, your ex-roomie will eventually be able to sell the home and earn the rewards of any equity it built up over the years. If, however, you share a home with someone who dies, you may find that their death leaves you in a bit of a pickle, especially if you weren’t married. To protect yourself, either get your name on the title through a quitclaim deed or make sure they have a will that turns the house over to you in the event of their death.

Names on the Mortgage

It may sound like a good deal to have your name on a title but be absent of any legal responsibility for paying it, but you’d be wrong. If, for some reason, the person on the mortgage decides to stop paying, you can bet the lender will come after you for the money if your name is on the title, especially if the home is headed toward foreclosure. At the very least, they can seize the home if payments aren’t made, leaving you to make other living arrangements. If the owner does stop paying, you may be able to refinance the home in your own name however.

The risks are even higher for the person whose name is on the mortgage. If the other person is on the title, that person could legally sell his home ownership to someone else without your permission. This would make you co-owner of a house with someone you didn’t choose to own a home with.

If the homeowner dies, the individual who inherits the home can take over the mortgage, even if his or her name isn't on it. This is because the mortgage insures the house, not the person.

Joint Ownership

For couples planning to co-own a home, the safest action is to put the property and mortgage in both names. If you choose to move into a house owned by one of you, you can do this through a quitclaim deed, which ends your ownership rights to that home. You would then create a new deed that names you and your other person as co-owners. However, doing this does not change the names on your home’s mortgage.

If you want to add another person to your mortgage, one of the safest ways is to refinance the loan. You may even get a better interest rate by doing so, significantly if things have changed since you initially took out the loan. It may be easier to create a will that names the other person as beneficiary of the home if you die, especially if you think you might be moving within the next few years.

Due diligence period
What if your clients are asking about their due diligence period? Easy, you explain: It’s a specified amount of time after an offer is made during which the buyer can inspect the property and review relevant documents. It’s a chance for the buyer to be sure in their decision to move forward with the purchase. It’s also a period when seller’s agents tend to bite their nails, breath rapidly into paper bags, and yes, they will have that third margarita, thank you.


Deed
The deed is a legal document recording the transaction of title (or official ownership transfer) from the seller to the buyer. It is recorded at the local county clerk’s office. Really just a combo of legalese and paperwork, but everyone feels better having a tangible representation of ownership

Contingency
Clients often have trouble understanding the difference between contingent and pending. A property is considered contingent when the buyer has made an offer to purchase it, as long as certain conditions are met. This could mean repairs need to be made or the buyer’s home needs to sell. Whatever these contingencies are, they have to be resolved before the property can close.






 

Lets learn More about different mortgages and loans

Conventional mortgage:
Offer a larger down payment, and don’t require mortgage insurance.
Convertible adjustable-rate mortgage
 fixed-rate mortgage and an adjustable-rate mortgage
Assumable mortgage
The buyer will take over the seller’s existing mortgage and house-related debt. This might happen if a parent or spouse dies and the heirs take over the mortgage.
Balloon Mortgage
Clients who opt for a balloon mortgage will pay smaller monthly payments at first, followed by one larger-than-typical payment (the balloon) at the end of the loan.
Bridge loan
They got clients who found their dream home before selling their current one? A bridge loan can be a real lifesaver in this situation. Essentially, it’s a short-term loan that helps a buyer cover costs in the interim between buying a new house and selling one. It could also mean you have the chance to be the client’s buying and listing agent!
Cash-out refainance
A homeowner can refinance their property for more than its value and take the added amount as cash. It generally results in a higher interest rate or additional points, but it’s a way for homeowners to leverage their equity in a property. 
Co-borrower
Don’t you love it when the co-borrower is the client’s dad who comes along on the inspection and is suddenly an expert on chimney engineering? If your clients are concerned about getting approved for a loan, you can remind them that a co-borrower agrees to back the borrower in a mortgage loan. They sign all of the loan documents, have interest in the property being purchased, and are required to pay the monthly payments if the primary borrower is unable to.
Construction loan
A construction loan is a short-term loan that covers the cost of building a property until the owner can secure long-term financing.

 what is the FHSA

FIRST HOME SAVING ACCOUNT 

If you fit the three requirements, you likely qualify. But if you are looking to buy a second home or a new home as a previous homeowner, this account isn't for you.  

You are considered a first-time homebuyer, for the purposes of this plan, if you haven’t owned a home within the last four calendar years. 

For example, if you bought your first home in 2015 and sold it in 2018 and have been renting or living with parents or a non-spouse ever since, you would be considered a first-time homebuyer again.

What happens if you don't use your FHSA?

If you don't use your FHSA to buy a home, you can transfer the funds to an RRSP account anytime within 15 years or at the time you need to close your account. The transfers will not impact your RRSP’s contribution room. 

Alternatively, you can withdraw the amount, but the funds would be subject to with

Alternatively, you can withdraw the amount, but the funds would be subject to withholding taxes. 

If you are planning to buy a home in the next few years and don’t have enough time to earn the maximum amount of $40,000 in the FHSA, you still could still use your savings from the account in combination with the other new tax proposals.

The federal government also announced that the First-Time Home Buyers' Tax Credit will increase to $10,000, which provides up to $1,500 in direct homebuyer support.**

Plus, the First-Time Homebuyer Incentive, which allows new owners to lower their monthly payments, has been extended until March 31, 2025.

First-time buyers plan: 8 steps to buying smart

Navigating the world of Canadian home buying


Step 1: Figure out how much you can afford.


Falling in love with a house you can’t afford can be heartbreaking. Avoid disappointment by figuring out your budget before you start looking.
 
  • First, decide how much you can afford for your down payment. The Home Buyers Plan lets you withdraw up to $25K per person (or up to $50K per couple) from your RRSPs – tax-free – to be repaid over 15 years. More on that here . The bigger your down payment, the less principal you will owe, and the less interest you will pay.
  • Don’t forget about closing costs, like insurance, legal fees, home inspection costs, land registration and land transfer fees. Add those to your moving expenses and service hookup fees, and they can add up surprisingly fast.
  • Your monthly housing expenses (mortgage, taxes, heat, etc.) shouldn’t use up more than 32% of your income. (If your combined monthly income is $5000, for example, 32% of that is $1600.) If you have car payments or credit card debt, the rule of thumb is that debt repayment shouldn’t be more than 40% of your income.
  • Get pre-approved for your mortgage. It’s a good way of finding out how much you can borrow – and it speeds up the process once you’ve found the home you want to buy.

Step 2: Figure out what type of home is right for you.


Sit down and make a list of must-haves and nice-to-haves. Be realistic, but be clear about the features you can’t live without. How many bedrooms do you need? Bathrooms? Do you want a home office? A garage? How about a big backyard? Hardwood floors? Eat-in kitchen? Consider your lifestyle and your stage of life. If you’re planning kids in a year or two, the studio loft might not be your best bet.

Step 3: Decide where you want to live.

Living in an area you like is as important as buying a home you love. Do you want a busy urban lifestyle, a house in the ‘burbs, or a quiet place in the country? Do you want to walk to work or are you okay with a longer commute? Do you need to be close to good schools? Rec facilities? Shopping?

Step 4: Start looking.

Go to open houses. Visit mls.ca. Check the classifieds. Drive around neighbourhoods you like looking for For Sale signs. Talk to your REALTOR® about your needs and start looking at properties.

Step 5: Build a team.

Put together the right group of experts to help you buy. Start with a REALTOR® you trust, then look for a reputable lender or mortgage broker, a lawyer (or a notary in Quebec), a home inspector and an insurance broker. Your REALTOR® works closely with all of these professionals, and will be happy to recommend people you can depend on.

Step 6: Make an offer.

You’ve found the perfect place – now it’s time to make an offer. An offer to purchase includes the purchase price you’re offering, chattels to be included in the purchase (like appliances or light fixtures), the amount of the deposit, the closing date and any other conditions.

Your REALTOR® will help you prepare your offer, and will present it to the vendor, who will either accept it or make a counter offer (which asks for a higher price or different terms). You can accept or reject the counter offer. If everyone agrees, the home is yours. If not, you can make another offer, or you may have to keep looking.

Step 7: Get a mortgage.

Once you’re approved, you’ll need to decide what type of mortgage works best for your needs. Will you go with a fixed or variable interest rate? Will your mortgage be closed or open? What will your amortization period be? Will you make payments monthly, biweekly or weekly? Your mortgage broker or lender can help you find a mortgage that suits your needs – and saves you the most money in the long term.

Step 8: Move in and enjoy!
