Conditions should match the property
A downtown home, rural acreage, waterfront property, strata home, and older house may need different review. Conditions are not boilerplate. They should reflect what a buyer needs to verify before becoming firm.
Speed and protection both matter
A strong offer is not always the shortest offer. It is the offer that fits the property, market, seller, and buyer risk tolerance. The work is knowing what can be checked before writing and what needs a condition.
Plan professionals before the deadline
Inspectors, insurers, lawyers, lenders, septic professionals, well specialists, and strata document reviewers may all need time. The condition period should be realistic for the property.
What to confirm
before moving forward.
