Deposits vary by property and market conditions. Many GTA offers include roughly 1%–5% of the purchase price (sometimes more for luxury homes), held in trust by the listing brokerage. We recommend an amount that keeps your offer competitive without overstretching cash.
Typical conditions include financing, home inspection, and status certificate review for condos. In competitive markets some buyers waive conditions — we discuss risks carefully before you do. Conditions protect you; removing them should be deliberate.
Start with a pricing strategy based on recent comparable sales, then consider staging, repairs, and professional photos. Timing and presentation affect days on market. We build an MLS marketing plan tailored to your neighbourhood and price point.
MLS is the professional listing system used by licensed brokerages. Consumer portals often republish MLS data with delays or incomplete details. Working with an IRF agent gives you timely MLS access, accurate status, and guided showings — not just what a portal shows.
Call 647-667-5555 or email info@melk.ca. Share whether you are buying, selling, or exploring financing, plus your preferred areas (Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan, Toronto, or elsewhere in the GTA). We will follow up promptly to schedule a conversation.
