Forms You'll Encounter
Selling a home involves several standard documents. Here's what each one is for and whether it's required.
Listing Agreement
RequiredAuthorizes us to list and market your property
This agreement outlines the terms of our professional relationship, including the listing price, commission structure, and duration of the listing. It gives us the authority to market your home on your behalf.
Seller Property Information Statement (SPIS)
OptionalDiscloses known property conditions
While not legally required, this form helps disclose any known issues with the property. It protects both you and the buyer by providing transparency about the home's condition.
Data Information Form
RequiredProvides property details for MLS listing
This form captures all the important details about your home including room sizes, features, inclusions, and exclusions that will appear on the MLS listing.
Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS)
RequiredThe main contract when you accept an offer
This is the legally binding contract between you and the buyer. It includes the purchase price, deposit, conditions, closing date, and all terms of the sale.
Amendment to Agreement
OptionalModifies terms after initial agreement
If any changes need to be made to the Agreement of Purchase and Sale after it's signed (such as extending a condition date), this form documents those changes.
Waiver of Conditions
RequiredConfirms buyer conditions are satisfied
When the buyer completes their conditions (like financing approval or home inspection), this form officially removes those conditions and makes the sale firm.
Direction Regarding Funds
RequiredInstructs where sale proceeds go
This form tells your lawyer exactly how to distribute the sale proceeds, including paying off your mortgage, covering closing costs, and sending the balance to you.
FINTRAC Forms

Federal regulations require us to verify your identity and record certain information about real estate transactions to prevent money laundering.
