September in Calgary offers a fantastic range of activities that cater to everyone’s interests.

Embrace the crisp fall air by embarking on outdoor adventures, whether hiking in nearby parks or exploring the city’s vibrant pathways. Visit local farmers' markets for the freshest autumn harvest, or take in the sights at the Calgary International Film Festival. Heritage Park’s ghost tours add a spooky twist to the season, while live music and entertainment can be enjoyed at various venues throughout the city. Don't miss the chance to enjoy seasonal flavors at Calgary's top restaurants or catch a Calgary Flames game as hockey season gets underway.

Whether you are thinking of selling your home, purchasing a new home, or just wondering about either, I sincerely hope you find the information in my newsletter helpful and relevant! 

Here's to a great day ahead!

The Importance of Representations and Warranties

Representations are statements a buyer or seller makes about specific facts. Warranties are contractual promises made to one another regarding the existence or accuracy of specific facts, often relating to the contract.

Representations and warranties are usually made by the seller. Here are some common examples: 

1. Legal right to sell the property 

The seller promises they have the legal right to sell the property. 

Action: Check the title to ensure the names are correct and accurately spelled. Be aware of issues like estates, corporate sellers, or other legal encumbrances. 

2. Residency status for tax purposes 

The seller confirms they are not a non-resident for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).  

Action: Make note if you're meeting the seller in person or they are signing the contract from out of country. This can affect the timing of fund transfers, the ability to transfer title, and have tax implications on the buyer...
