Congratulations! You have an accepted offer, but it’s not the finish line.

In Quebec, several critical steps still remain before you get the keys.

The conditional period

Most offers include conditions such as:

1. Financing
2. Inspection
3. Review of documents

These conditions protect the buyer but they also come with deadlines.

Financing and inspection

During this phase:

1. Your lender finalizes approval
2. The property is inspected
3. Issues may trigger renegotiation

This is where deals are often saved or lost.

Removing conditions

Once conditions are satisfied the sale becomes firm, deposits are secured and notary preparations begin. This is a major milestone.

The notary and closing day

In Quebec:

1. The notary handles legal transfer
2. Funds are exchanged
3. Ownership officially changes

Keys are released after registration.

Bottom line

An accepted offer starts the most important phase of the transaction.

Understanding the process reduces stress and costly mistakes.
