What selling actually costs in Waterloo.
A listing price isn't what lands in your account. Enter your situation below and see the real deductions on a traditional Waterloo sale — commission, HST, legal fees, and the months you keep carrying the property.

A cash offer sits below full list price — that's the honest trade. The question is what's left after the deductions above, and how many months you wait for it.
Get your Waterloo offerIllustration only, not an appraisal or financial advice. Commission rates in Ontario are negotiable and vary by brokerage; HST is charged at 13% on real estate commission. Carrying costs assume typical mortgage interest, property tax, insurance and utilities. Your actual figures will differ — for a detailed breakdown see what it really costs to sell a house in Ontario. Illustrative Anchor figure shown for comparison: $585,000 before your own mortgage payout.
What the next few days look like in Waterloo.
Most sellers want to know exactly what they're agreeing to before they pick up the phone. This is the whole process, start to finish.
- Day 0
You send us the basics
Address, rough condition, and when you'd like to be out. One minute on the form or one phone call — no account, no credit check, no lockbox.
- Day 1
We research the property
We pull recent comparable sales, check the lot and assessment record, and look for anything on title that affects timing — liens, a power of sale notice, an open tenancy.
- Day 1–2
A walkthrough, in person or by video
One visit, roughly 20 minutes. Nothing needs to be cleaned, repaired or emptied. Belongings you don't want to move can stay.
- Day 2
You get a written offer
A real number with the deductions shown, not a range. It's good for several days so you can think it over or run it past a lawyer or family.
- Day 3
You decide — and pick the date
Accept, counter, or walk away at no cost. If you accept, you choose the closing date: fast if you need it, months out if that suits you better.
- Closing day
Funds are released by the lawyers
Your lawyer registers the transfer and the proceeds land in your account. No commission comes off the top and no holdback for repairs.

What Waterloo homeowners should know before signing anything.
These are the provincial rules that decide your timeline and your costs — the same rules that apply whether you list with an agent or sell to us.
Ontario land transfer tax — and Toronto's additional municipal land transfer tax inside city limits — is paid by the purchaser on closing. As the seller you don't pay it, which is why a cash sale removes fewer line items than people expect.
General information about Ontario law, not legal advice. Confirm details for your situation with a real estate lawyer.
Resources for Waterloo homeowners.
We'd rather you check the facts yourself. These are the official Ontario sources that matter when you're selling, plus our own in-depth guides.
Land transfer tax — Government of Ontario
Who pays it, how it's calculated, and the first-time buyer refund. Relevant to your buyer, not to you as the seller.
Landlord and Tenant Board
Forms, notice periods and hearing timelines if your property has tenants in it.
Apply for probate — Government of Ontario
The Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee process, and the Estate Administration Tax that goes with it.
MPAC — your property assessment
Look up the assessed value and property details on record for your home. Assessment is not market value, but it's a useful starting point.
Search title & registered documents — ONLAND
Ontario's land registry. Useful for confirming ownership, mortgages, liens or easements before you sell.
Check a brokerage or agent — RECO
If you're comparing our offer against a listing, confirm anyone you deal with is registered with the Real Estate Council of Ontario.
