After you accept an offer in Ontario, the transaction moves through a defined sequence of steps leading to closing — and Flowers Team Real Estate manages every stage of this process so nothing falls through the cracks. Over 25+ years and thousands of transactions in Milton, we have developed systems that keep every deal on track from accepted offer to keys in hand.

• Deposit — the buyer typically delivers their deposit (usually 2–5% of the purchase price) within 24 hours of offer acceptance. This is held in trust by the listing brokerage.
• Conditional period — if the offer has conditions, the buyer has the agreed-upon timeframe (typically 5 to 10 business days) to fulfill or waive each condition.
• Going firm — once all conditions are waived or fulfilled in writing, the deal is firm and legally binding. Neither party can withdraw without legal consequence.
• Lawyer involvement — both buyer and seller engage real estate lawyers immediately after going firm. Your lawyer handles title searches, mortgage discharge, and preparing closing documents.
• Pre-closing inspection — the buyer typically conducts a pre-closing walkthrough (usually the day before or morning of closing) to verify the home's condition matches what was agreed.
• Closing day — your lawyer and the buyer's lawyer exchange documents and funds electronically. Once registration is complete, the buyer receives the keys.

Flowers Team Real Estate stays actively involved from offer to closing, coordinating with lawyers, lenders, and all parties to ensure a smooth process. See our full selling process or contact us.
