Join seasoned pros Michael and Patty as they unpack over four decades of full-time experience in PEI real estate, offering you unscripted, expert insights with each episode. 🏡✨


In this episode, we dive into the essential elements of writing an offer on a property in Prince Edward Island. We'll cover everything you need to know to ensure your offer is clear, comprehensive, and competitive. We'll discuss the importance of providing full legal names and contact information, including the necessity of individual email addresses and copies of your driver's licenses. You'll learn about the key details to include, such as the property address, proposed purchase price, and whether HST applies to your offer. We'll explain the significance of a good faith deposit, suggest preferred closing dates, and guide you on selecting a lawyer if you don't already have one.


Understanding conditions like financing and inspections is crucial, so we’ll go over the timelines for arranging financing, conducting home inspections, insurance inspections, and septic tank inspections. We’ll also touch on what to consider if the property has existing rentals, such as propane tank rentals or tenant agreements, and how these might impact your offer.


We'll cover the IRAC approval process for non-Island residents or corporations purchasing large properties, as well as FINTRAC requirements to comply with Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Laws. We’ll also discuss the importance of reviewing the Property Condition Disclosure Statement (PCDS) and other due diligence items like water tests and tenancy considerations.


By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear roadmap for writing a well-prepared and strategic offer on a property in Prince Edward Island.
