Closing Costs


Real Estate Commission - The commission you agreed to pay to your brokerage when you signed the Listing Contract.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) - Tax of 5% will be applied on the real estate commission and on your legal fees.

Mortgage Prepayment Penalty - Any prepayment penalty levied by the financial institution for early payout of an existing mortgage.

Property Tax - if you have not paid for the current year's property taxes, you will need to pay your share of the taxes.
