Course Description:

In this new seminar, Mark Weisleder, LLB., REI, teaches how being careful with the little
things will increase your chances of success.
The objectives of this course are to understand:

a) How small changes to the fine print of the Ontario standard form Agreement of
Purchase and Sale or added clauses in any Schedule can have major impacts on
the rights of buyers and sellers;

b) How to properly complete the agreement to prevent closing issues

By the end of this session, you will have developed the skills necessary to navigate changes to the fine print in the Ontario standard form Agreement of Purchase and Sale, as well as any alterations introduced through additional schedules. You will gain knowledge on the appropriate use of a Power of Attorney, including how to verify its authenticity and the implications if the Power of Attorney is used to sign an agreement and the seller subsequently passes away before the closing date. The course will also equip you with strategies to resurrect an agreement that was previously terminated due to the untimely waiver of a condition.

Furthermore, you will understand the necessary clauses to address issues related to chattels, fixtures, and keys during the final closing. You'll learn about the intricacies of holdback clauses in scenarios where the property's condition is less than satisfactory before the final closing. Clarification will be provided on the implications if the listing mentions a stove, but it is not included in the agreement of purchase and sale, and what the term "more or less" signifies in the context of property descriptions.

The session will also cover whether a buyer can legitimately refuse to close due to last-minute issues and what practical solutions exist for such situations. You will learn how to draft a condition that ensures the return of funds to a buyer without needing a mutual release. Finally, the consequences of a buyer's failure to provide the deposit in a timely fashion will be discussed, ensuring that you are well-prepared to handle such instances.
