What are the documents involved in selling a home? WORKING WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENT: Buyers and sellers are presented with the brochure “Working with a Real Estate Agent” when they first meet a REALTOR®. Industry regulations have now made it mandatory for agents to explain immediately the kind of relationship you can have with your REALTOR®, also known as agency. The agent will ask you to sign a statement in the brochure acknowledging this discussion has taken place, tear off and keep the signed statement, and give you the brochure for future reference. Signing the disclosure statement does not give you any obligation to that REALTOR®. It merely confirms that you have discussed your agency representation options. If you decide to buy or sell with that REALTOR® you will sign a contractual agreement: the listing agreement (as a seller) or the exclusive buyers' agency agreement (as a buyer).
MLS® LISTING CONTRACT: Sellers will sign a Multiple Listing Service® Listing Contract with their REALTOR®. This contract outlines the terms of their listing, including the length of time for the listing, the price, the commission to be paid, all the parties to the listing, the address and the legal description of the property to be sold, how the seller is to be paid, the preferred possession date, the financial obligations, and other information regarding the property. The MLS® Listing Contract is the seller's agreement with the listing agency, not the salesperson. If the salesperson leaves that company, it is up to the seller and the listing company to decide whether or not the listing will go with the salesperson, or whether it will stay with the original company and be assigned to another salesperson. The standard MLS® Listing Contract explains that the seller is liable to pay a commission if the listing agent or a cooperating agent brings an offer which meets all of the stated terms and conditions of the seller. As with other services, there is HST payable on commission, so when you are calculating your proceeds, take that into consideration.

Your REALTOR® will fill out the Data Input Form, which asks for all the necessary information to list your property. This includes the number and size of rooms, lot size, construction type, house style and more. Data from this form is entered into the MLS® database, where other REALTORS® are able to match your home with buyers.
EXCLUSIVE LISTING CONTRACT: You and your REALTOR® will use an Exclusive Listing Contract if you choose not to list your property on the Multiple Listing Service®. An exclusive listing publicizes by advertising and the sign alone, without the benefit of the catalogue/computer. Sellers sometimes believe an exclusive listing will encourage fewer "lookers," and more buyers. However, an exclusive listing is often overlooked by REALTORS® working with buyers, because the first place they look is in the MLS® catalogue/computer. The greater the number of people who know about a property the better the chance a serious buyer will appear who will meet your terms and asking price.
LISTING AMENDMENT: A Listing Amendment form is used whenever a change is made to the original MLS® or Exclusive Listing Contract. A change may involve extending the listing date, changing the price, altering wording on the print- out, correcting measurements, or tax or financial information to name a few. All the owners and the manager of listing agency will need to sign this form.
LISTING CANCELLATION: Sometimes it is necessary to cancel a listing. You and your REALTOR® will need to fill out a Listing Cancellation Form. This form usually has a preprinted clause stating if the property sells within 60 days of cancellation, or before the natural expiry of the listing (whichever comes first), the seller is liable for commission. This is to ensure a REALTOR® receives compensations for the advertising dollars and hours spent showing a home prior to a listing cancellation. If the seller is thinking of canceling a listing because they are dissatisfied with the service of a REALTOR®, the seller should speak to the manager of the listing agency and outline their concerns. The listing agency will make every effort to achieve satisfactory results.
HOLD ACTION FORM: Sometimes the personal circumstances of a seller changes, and it is necessary to temporarily stop marketing a home. If this happens, your REALTOR® will help you fill out a Hold Action Form. This form tells other REALTORS® who have access to your listing through the MLS® system that you wish to delay the sale of your home. See SELLING, page 5

PROPERTY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT (PDS):
ADDENDUM (WITHOUT PRINTED CLAUSES):
A seller is legally responsible to provide accurate information about the property they are selling. This includes all knowledge about the property, defects about which the owner is aware, and any upcoming expenses (such as special assessments in strata-titled properties). This information is provided on the Property Disclosure Statement form, and is filled out by the seller. The REALTOR® is not permitted to fill out the PDS on behalf of the seller. Answers on the PDS must be correct and complete. The buyer will rely on this information if they decide to purchase the property, and any incorrect or incomplete information can make the seller liable. The PDS does not cover every aspect of the property, and the buyer must still make their own inquiries. The buyer can also hire an independent, licensed inspector.
A basic blank addendum form is used to write additional clauses on the contract when there is not enough space on the contract itself. When that has been done, the buyer signs this form indicating that this clause is being removed.
LIMITED DUAL AGENCY AGREEMENT: When an agent represents a buyer and a seller in a single transaction, it’s necessary to complete a Limited Dual Agency Agreement. This form gives an agent authorization to represent both parties in a limited capacity, while maintaining both parties' confidences regarding motivation, negotiating positions and personal information (unless either party gives the agent written permission to disclose such information). This form is also used when two salespersons from the same company are involved.
CONTRACT OF PURCHASE AND SALE: The Contract of Purchase and Sale standard form is the basic contract signed by the parties (the sellers and the buyers). It outlines every aspect of the transaction, including the price, the terms and conditions, the dates, the inclusions and exclusions, the handling of existing tenancies, the deposit and increase (where applicable) and other legal matters as described in the preprinted contract and added as clauses.
ADDENDUM (WITH PRINTED CLAUSES): A special addendum form with preprinted clauses will be added to the basic sales contract if there is either financing to be cleared from the title before the seller can provide clear title, or where there is financing to be put into place after the title is registered in the buyer's name.
AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT OF PURCHASE AND SALE: This form is used to remove conditions (subject removal) when they have been satisfied. An example might be where a buyer has to find financing by a certain date.
LEASES: A lease is used more often in commercial transactions than in residential ones. However, you may be a landlord or a tenant who prefers to use a lease for stability of tenure. A commercial lease is a complex document and should be drawn up by a specialist in the commercial field and reviewed by a lawyer for each party. A residential lease is less complex and normally involves a standard rental agreement with an outline of the rules and regulations of the building or complex, or expectations of the owner and tenant above and beyond what the Residential Tenancy Act sets out. If you have any doubts about how to draw a lease or how to interpret specific clauses, consult a lawyer or a REALTOR®.
MORTGAGES: Mortgages come in a wide variety of formats, depending on the lending institution. Many institutions use a simplified form, and refer to the larger form where any deviations from their standard form may occur. The buyer should check that the document matches the commitment letter they signed outlining the terms of their mortgage. This will include the interest rate, the term, the amortization period, the prepayment privilege ("penalty"), the options (if any) for increasing the number of payments or making lump sum payments, the assumability of the mortgage if the property is sold, and the portability of the mortgage if the seller wishes to use it on another property. If you are a seller who is carrying financing for a buyer of your property, make sure that your lawyer reviews the documents before you sign them. If you are a buyer who is asking a seller to carry financing, make sure your own lawyer reviews the documents as well. Many serious issues may arise where the parties are unfamiliar with the law concerning mortgage financing.

Preparing your home for sale
When selling your home, it’s more than purchase price and location that will make or break a deal. How your home looks is also very important. Your REALTOR® can give you an objective opinion of what you need to do. REALTORS® have the experience and knowledge that can help identify problem areas or suggest improvements. In most cases, REALTORS® will not suggest major renovations. A few minor repairs here and there and a thorough cleaning are usually all that are required. Cleaning up the homestead: Almost all buyers are on the lookout for one thing -- a clean home. Many will walk away if a home looks uncared for, or make an offer much lower than the listing price. Ensure your home is spotless and free of clutter. The two most important rooms in a buyer’s mind are the kitchen and the bathroom. Pay particular attention to these areas -- they should sparkle and shine.
Making repairs: Some things must be repaired if there are problems. A leaky roof, electrical problems, furnaces, water heaters and plumbing all must be fixed before a sale. Other things just need attention. These can include leaky faucets, holes in window screens and any broken glass, etc. If some of your walls are too dirty to come clean, you may wish to consider a paint job. Carpets and rugs should also be clean and in good repair. Outside and In: Take a close look at your yard. If it’s spring or summer, prune the trees and shrubs, and keep the lawn neat. If it’s fall, rake the leaves regularly. And in the winter, make sure walks and driveways are kept clear of snow and ice. To renovate or not to renovate: Most renovations do not translate into an increase in selling price of more than the cost of the renovations themselves. Painting, wallpapering and modest landscape improvements usually recover their costs, but major projects such as new patios, decks or additions rarely do. This article was prepared by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board“An Association of Realtors”, for the information and benefit of consumers.
Five misconceptions about property taxes 1. You can appeal property taxes: No. You can appeal your assessment, not your taxes. You annually receive your assessment the first week of January and must appeal by January 31. 2. An appeal will change the market value: The market value may not correlate to the assessed value. BC Assessment typically assesses properties as of the previous July 1. A REALTOR® valuing a home now – 11 months later – may find the market has changed, the home has had an addition or the street has been re-zoned, all of which affect value. 3. If you just bought a home, the previous owners are liable for taxes: No. When you buy a property you become liable for all outstanding taxes. 4. New home owners can claim the Home Owner Grant: No. New home owners cannot claim the Home Owner Grant if the seller paid the taxes or if the new home owner claimed a grant on another property. 5. If you’ve been eligible for the Home Owner Grant and didn’t claim it, you can make a back claim: No, you cannot make a back claim on the Home Owner Grant. The Grant must be used the year it is offered. This article was prepared by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board“An Association of Realtors”, for the information and benefit of consumers.
This is a “Q.R. Code” These QR codes have been around since 1994 and are used all over the world, particularly in tech heavy countries like Japan, Korea and the UK. They can contain almost any type of information and were initially used for stock and product codes at Toyota. Now used in marketing, tracking, entertainment and instore product labeling. QR codes can store addresses and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) may appear on almost any object about which users might need information. If you have a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application, you can scan the image of the QR code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or open a web page in the telephone’s browser. This act of linking from physical world objects is termed “hardlinking” or “object hyperlinking”. QR code use has rapidly increased in North America this year with the strong spread of smart phones.

Ten steps to selling your home 1. Decide when to sell: In real estate, timing can influence your home’s selling price. Factors like how quickly you need to sell, whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market and seasonality all plays a role in your home’s final selling price. 2. Find a REALTOR® who is right for you: The REALTOR® who helped you buy your home is a good place to start. They already know your home and they know you, so you’ll be saving time right from the start. Or look for names on “For Sale” signs in your neighbourhood or ask your friends and family. Make sure to interview two or three candidates and choose the one you like best. 3. Sign a Listing Agreement: This authorizes your REALTOR® and their brokerage to market and sell your home. It will define the legal relationship between you and the real estate brokerage and also set a time limit for your REALTOR® to sell your home. 4. Determine your home’s asking price: The right asking price will attract buyers and pay you a maximum return. Setting too low a price means you could miss out on thousands of dollars. Setting too high a price will scare away buyers. Your goal is to find fair market value. 5. Add some specialists to your team: Similar to when you bought your home, it’s essential to have a notary public or a lawyer handle all the various documents that change hands and make sure your best interests are being protected at all times. 6. Prepare your home for sale: First impressions matter. Now is the time to see your home through a buyer’s eyes: get rid of the clutter, clean and repair as much as you can, within reason. Remember, weigh the cost of all your improvements versus the potential financial return. 7. Let your REALTOR® do what they do best: Your home has never looked so good and now it’s time for your REALTOR® to market it to potential buyers. This happens with a “For Sale” sign, open houses, newspaper ads, a listing on the MLS®, the internet, and, of course, through your REALTORS®’ relationship with other REALTORS®. 8. Prepare your finances: Will the buyer “assume” your mortgage or are you “discharging” it? If you’re buying a new home, is your mortgage “portable”? What taxes are involved? These are all important questions to ask your REALTOR® your mortgage lender and your notary public or lawyer. 9. Receive an offer: Although your REALTOR® will walk you through the process, be prepared for some stress. You will see every offer since it’s required that your REALTOR® show you every offer that’s submitted. You will have three options: you can accept, you can reject or you can “sign back” or “counter”. Ask your REALTOR® what these terms mean. Happy negotiating! 10. Close the deal: You were successful and have drafted a legally binding agreement. Are you done? Not quite yet. Contact your lawyer or notary public, contact your lending institution and consult your REALTOR®. Immediately start satisfying any conditions of the agreement that require action on your part. On closing day, your lawyer or notary public will finalize all the details and give you a cheque for the net proceeds. Th s article was prepared by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board“An Association of Realtors”, for the information and benefit of consumers.

What are the documents involved in buying a home? WORKING WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENT: Buyers and sellers are presented with the brochure “Working with a Real Estate Agent” when they first meet a REALTOR®. Industry regulations have now made it mandatory for agents to explain immediately the kind of relationship you can have with your REALTOR®, also known as agency. The agent will ask you to sign a statement in the brochure acknowledging this discussion has taken place, tear off and keep the signed statement, and give you the brochure for future reference. Signing the disclosure statement does not give you any obligation to that REALTOR®. It merely confirms that you have discussed your agency representation options. If you decide to buy or sell with that REALTOR® you will sign a contractual agreement: the listing agreement (as a seller) or the exclusive buyers’ agency agreement (as a buyer).
PROPERTY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT (PDS): A seller is legally responsible to provide accurate information about the property they are selling. This includes all knowledge about the property, defects about which the owner is aware, and any upcoming expenses (such as special
assessments in strata-titled properties). This information is provided on the Property Disclosure Statement form, and is filled out by the seller. The REALTOR® is not permitted to fill out the PDS on behalf of the seller. Answers on the PDS must be correct and complete. The buyer will rely on this information if they decide to purchase the property, and any incorrect or incomplete information can make the seller liable. The PDS does not cover every aspect of the property, and the buyer must still make their own inquiries. The buyer can also hire an independent, licensed inspector.
EXCLUSIVE BUYER’S AGENCY CONTRACT: Buyers will sign an Exclusive Buyer’s Agency Contract with their REALTOR®. This contract outlines the services you will receive from your REALTOR®, and the obligations of both you as buyer and the REALTOR® in the buying transaction. Your REALTOR® may also ask you to enter into a written agreement regarding compensation. This is because most listing contracts for properties on the Multiple Listing Service® state compensation will be offered to the agent who obtains a buyer for the property. However, some listing contracts do not provide for the re-
muneration for the buyer’s agent. In this case, your REALTOR® will ask to be compensated as your buying agent. The remuneration will still come from the transaction and will be able to be financed as part of your mortgage. This commitment on the part of both REALTOR® and client enables better service and a wider selection of property from which to choose.
LIMITED DUAL AGENCY AGREEMENT: When an agent represents a buyer and a seller in a single transaction, it’s necessary to complete a Limited Dual Agency Agreement. This form gives an agent authorization to represent both parties in a limited capacity, while maintaining both parties’ confidences regarding motivation, negotiating positions and personal information (unless either party gives the agent written permission to disclose such information). This form is also used when two salespersons from the same company are involved.
CONTRACT OF PURCHASE AND SALE:
It outlines every aspect of the transaction, including the price, the terms and conditions, the dates, the inclusions and exclusions, the handling of existing tenancies, the deposit and increase (where applicable) and other legal matters as described in the preprinted contract and added as clauses.
ADDENDUM (WITH PRINTED CLAUSES): A special addendum form with preprinted clauses will be added to the basic sales contract if there is either financing to be cleared from the title before the seller can provide clear title, or where there is financing to be put into place after the title is registered in the buyer’s name.
ADDENDUM (WITHOUT PRINTED CLAUSES): A basic blank addendum form is used to write additional clauses on the contract when there is not enough space on the contract itself. When that has been done, the buyer signs this form indicating that this clause is being removed.
The Contract of Purchase and Sale standard form is the basic contract signed by the parties (the sellers and the buyers).

Documents involved CONTINUED FROM PAGE 30
AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT OF PURCHASE AND SALE: This form is used to remove conditions (subject removal) when they have been satisfied. An example might be where a buyer has to find financing by a certain date.
LEASES: A lease is used more often in commercial transactions than in residential ones. However, you may be a landlord or a tenant who prefers to use a lease for stability of tenure. A commercial lease is a complex document and should be drawn up by a specialist in the commercial field and reviewed by a lawyer for each party. A residential lease is less complex and normally involves a standard rental agreement with an outline of the rules and regulations of the building or complex, or expectations of the owner and tenant above and beyond what the Residential Tenancy Act sets out. If you have any doubts about how to draw a lease or how to interpret specific clauses, consult a lawyer or a REALTOR®.
formats, depending on the lending institution. Many institutions use a simplified form, and refer to the larger form where any deviations from their standard form may occur. The buyer should check that the document matches the commitment letter they signed outlining the terms of their mortgage. This will include the interest rate, the term, the amortization period, the prepayment privilege (“penalty”), the options (if any) for increasing the number of payments or making lump sum payments, the assumability of the mortgage if the property is sold, and the portability of the mortgage if the seller wishes to use it on another property. If you are a seller who is carrying financing for a buyer of your property, make sure that your lawyer reviews the documents before you sign them. If you are a buyer who is asking a seller to carry financing, make sure your own lawyer reviews the documents as well. Many serious issues may arise where the parties are unfamiliar with the law concerning mortgage financing.

When you’re looking to buy a home, it’s important to understand the steps for getting a mortgage. Mortgage terminology: Before approaching lenders, you should get to know some basic mortgage concepts. You can start by visiting the Glossary section and read up on mortgage-related terms. Get pre-approved: Pre-approval of a mortgage is when your lender has reviewed all your financial information and has determined the maximum amount of money you can borrow. The advantages include that you: • know how much you can borrow, so you don’t waste time looking at properties you can’t afford • don’t have to worry about rising interest rates while shopping for a home, as usually the mortgage broker will guarantee the current interest rate for 60 to 90 days • have an edge when you make an offer, because the seller knows you’re more likely to get a loan • save time when you apply for your loan because you’ve already assembled your paperwork Where to get pre-approved: Many banks and financial institutions are competing for your business so it makes sense to shop around for a mortgage. Most lenders will reduce their
posted interest rate so don’t be shy about bargaining. Your ability to bargain for a low rate and a flexible mortgage will often depend on how much business you have with the institution. You can contact banks and credit unions directly, or work with a mortgage broker. A broker will help you find a lender and the best mortgage package. Once you have selected your lender, you will need to provide your financial information. Your lender will want the following: • Personal information such as number of dependents and marital status • Details of employment, including a letter from your employer verifying your salary • Banking and investment information • Details of your assets (i.e.- a car, other property) • Information on loans and other liabilities • Permission to do a credit check After your application is complete, you will know how much you can borrow and you will be ready to start searching for a home.
