Congratulations, You are Removing the Conditions, and will proceed to Buy Your New Home,

Wow, in your journey from thinking about buying a home till today it may have all seem a bit abstract, even surreal, but today is a big day, today you are removing all or the last remaining Conditions (Subject To Clauses) from your agreement to buy your new Greater Victoria Home......... Congratulations.

You can and should be proud of yourself,  only a few short weeks ago buying a home was a concept, a dream, with all kinds of unknown and or unfamiliar territory to uncover and learn about, and in just a very short time, not only have you learned a whole new language, with strange terms like D.O.M.,  (Days On Market) $/psqft. (Dollar Per Square Foot) and have filtered out you new home amongst thousands of available options and choices.
In addition you reviewed, read and dealt with hundreds of pieces of papers, way to many questions about all kinds of stuff that you wonder why it was all so important, and having to make way more choices and decisions over this very short period of time than you recall making in tha past 20 years combined........ you have come a long way, so yes a little celebration is called for........ Good for you, you are now (after removing these final conditions have been removed and submitting your deposit cheque to be put in trust for you) the owner "in waiting" for your new home....... It is a Pfanntastic Day.

The actual process of removing "the subject to"s" is relatively simple, Peter and Linda will prepare the required paperwork, that will (in writing) remove and call fulfilled any and all of the subject to clauses remaining in the contract. We then meet with you and review the paperwork and any questions you may have, sign off on the subject removal(s) and at the same time we will likely also collect your deposit monies in the form of a money order or certified cheque. The monies will be placed in trust and form part of  the purchase price of you home. Please be aware that cheque is actually cashed and funds will need to be available to be deposited in our trust account.

Okay party is over, back to work, in fact some of the real work is now just beginning. For you as the home buyer there will be plenty of things to do, people to talk to, activities to complete and papers to sign and deal with. The time between you actually knowing that you have bought your new Pfanntastic Greater Victoria Home and your actual moving date can be very busy and potentially stressful.

Not to worry, Peter and Linda Pfann are here for you not just as your Realtors, but also as your Moving Consultants....... No, we do not actually do the moving for you but we do have a number of FREE and very useful tools and information for you that should avoid any and all complications and make the move to your new home a Pfanntastic experience. In short it is all about preparation and implementation of a few relatively straight forward plans and systems to make sure everything is done, when they need to get done, so that by the time your moving date comes around thee is nothing left to do but enjoy that part of the journey in to your new home.
