Yes! I did. Assuming your offer is accepted you will get a closing date. Some sellers might agree to (or really want) a closing date that is soon because they are ready to move quickly and want the cash, some might need more time (e.g., 60 days).
Along with your offer you will put down a deposit.
You will need to find a lawyer to handle the sales process. They will work with your bank to handle the financing. They will also run title searches, etc… handle title insurance, etc… they will also handle a statement of accounts (e.g. make sure property taxes are paid up until you close or give the seller credit if they’ve prepaid them already, same with utilities). The lawyer should handle the transfer so the city now knows who owns it and who pays the bills
You will need to set up accounts with the utility providers. You will need to get insurance (arrange this before you close so it starts from the day you own it).
Other things to consider: we hired a cleaning service before we moved it. Redirect any mail you may have via Canada post. Look for the best deals on internet.
