Local rules to verify
Territorial legal scope: Canada: federal information; sale, advertising, real estate services and landlord law also depend on province, territory and municipality. Québec requires its own French-language review.
- The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada expressly describes selling a home yourself as an option. The owner takes responsibility for marketing, viewings, negotiations and documentation rather than assuming these tasks are carried out by a real estate agent.
- Check title deeds, survey plans, property tax receipts, inspections, permitted use and any relevant provincial disclosure rules. Requirements cannot be generalized across all provinces and territories.
- The Canada Revenue Agency sets out separate reporting and principal-residence exemption rules. Do not assume every gain is exempt, or that software estimates or forms are official tax advice.
