How it works

Four steps. One clear process. From wherever you are.

Whether you're buying, selling, or refinancing — anywhere in Alberta — every file follows the same proven 4-step process. You always know where things stand, what's next, and who to call. Your signing happens by video, your paper originals are couriered, a real estate lawyer handles every detail.

1

Open

We open your file and gather everything we need.

2

Prepare

Title search, adjustments, every document readied.

3

Sign

Meet your lawyer by video and sign paper originals.

4

Close

Funds transfer, title registers, you get your keys.

The four steps in detail

Every closing follows the same four steps.

Refined over 20 years and 10,000+ closings. Whether it's a first-time purchase or a complex refinance, the structure stays the same — only the details change.

1
Step 1

Open

You reach out — by phone, email, or through our intake form. We confirm your fees upfront before any work begins. You complete a short intake form and your file is created, and we keep you updated from the very first step.

2
Step 2

Prepare

This is where most of the work happens — and none of it falls on you. We run title searches, coordinate with lenders, prepare documents, and build your statement of adjustments — and we keep you updated as each milestone is completed.

3
Step 3

Sign

You meet your lawyer by video — from your kitchen table, your truck cab, your hotel room in BC, or your couch in Calgary while your home in Edmonton closes. Paper originals arrive by courier ahead of the meeting. The lawyer walks you through every document at your pace, answers every question, and witnesses your signature live.

4
Step 4

Close

We handle the final steps — transferring funds, registering the title, discharging mortgages, authorizing key release. Buying? You get your keys. Selling? You get your proceeds.

Same four steps, tailored to your file

Purchase, sale, or refinance — the structure doesn't change.

Whether you're buying your first home, selling to move on, or refinancing — the process is the same. The details are tailored to what your transaction requires.

Buying a home

Full title search, mortgage coordination, document preparation, statement of adjustments, registration of title and mortgage.

Selling your home

Title review and transfer preparation, mortgage discharge coordination, trust account handling, registration and proceeds deposit.

New loans

Refinancing, switching lenders, or taking out a new mortgage on a property you already own. Lender coordination and fund handling.

Staying informed

Always know where your file stands.

We don't leave you guessing. A real estate lawyer carries your file from open to close, and we reach out at every milestone — so the answer to "what's happening with my file?" comes to you.

Keys handed over after a completed Alberta real estate closing.
  • Proactive milestone updates. We reach out at each step — file opened, title searched, signing booked, funds released — by text and email, so you're never left wondering.
  • Plain-language document walkthroughs. Your lawyer walks you through every document at signing, in plain language, so you understand exactly what you're signing.
  • A direct line to your legal team. Questions are answered by the people actually handling your file — no phone tag, no call centre.
  • A clear closing statement. Your itemized closing statement and final cash-to-close or net proceeds, explained before you sign.
  • Possession-day updates. On closing day we keep you posted as funds transfer, title registers, and keys release.
Built differently from the start

Why this works the way it does.

Most law firms treat real estate closings as paperwork. We built a system around transparency, technology, and care for the client experience.

A lawyer on every file

Your closing is handled by a lawyer with 20 years of real estate experience — not a paralegal, not a clerk. The lawyer is accountable for every detail.

Real-time transparency

We reach out at every milestone, so the answer to "what's happening with my file?" always comes to you — no need to call in.

Upfront, flat-rate pricing

Your legal fees are quoted before we start — not after. No hourly surprises, no hidden disbursements.

Province-wide service

Practising from Edmonton, serving all of Alberta. Your signing happens by video from wherever you live — Calgary, Red Deer, Fort McMurray, Lethbridge, anywhere.
