Have Your Realtor® include a Title Search in your offer!

By partnering with Dye & Durham, one of Canada's leading providers of legal support services, we are able offer homebuyers the opportunity to have a Title Search conducted prior to their making an offer, or making a Title Search a condition in the offer. Unlike undertaking this search just days before the deal closes, this option allows the purchasers time to react in the event that problems are found in the Search. Please check out our Title Search Info page for more information on how to order!
