How is my notary going to receive my documents?

Irina Bartnik Notary Public • September 16, 2021

Once all the conditions (subjects) are satisfied on your contract of purchase and sale, your Realtor will contact you for the name of the Notary or Lawyer that you would like to use.


Real estate office would gather all of the information on your contract and send it to our office. We use this information to review the contract and as long as there is still availability on the schedule, we add your name on our Calendar to call you about 2 weeks prior to your closing ( moving date). All the files are accepted on first come, first serve basis and if for some reason we cannot help you with your file, your Realtor would receive the message from us right away.


Sometimes we have clients calling our office and wanting to schedule the appointment even before the contract gets to our office. Unfortunately, it is not possible to do so as until we received your contract and had chance to evaluate it, we do not know if we can help you yet.


As Real Estate market is very busy these days, it is not a bad idea to be proactive about getting your name on a Calendar with a Notary. If you are in touch with our office, you can always send us copy of your contract to us by e- mail. As long as you have subject removal attached to it that will secure your spot in our schedule.



Not all the Notary offices have the same procedure of accepting files. Please contact your Notary office to verify that they accepted your file to be processed by them.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me

By Written by Steven Brennan Mortgage Industry News • December 5, 2025
A new global analysis suggests Canada’s major metros are among the hardest places on earth for young people to buy their first home, with Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal ranking near the bottom of a 70-city affordability index. The study, from UAE-based developer Bloom Holding, estimates the typical first-time buyer in Vancouver enters the market at age 46, while those in Toronto and Montreal reach homeownership at around 40 and 39, respectively. The findings echo a broader North American trend. In the United States, the median first-time buyer age has climbed to a record 40, according to the National Association of Realtors — up from 33 just a few years ago — as higher rates and decade-long price gains delay ownership for younger households.  👉 Read the Article Here
