For Buyers

The Process

How court-ordered sales work for buyers — from your first offer to the keys in your hand.

01

The Offer

You submit an offer to purchase, typically subject to court approval. Because the property is sold through the court, terms are firmer than a standard sale — deposits and conditions are structured accordingly.

02

Court Approval

The accepted offer is presented to the Supreme Court of British Columbia. On the approval date, other interested buyers may attend and submit competing offers in open court. The judge approves the highest and best offer.

03

Completion

Once the court grants approval, the sale proceeds to completion much like a conventional transaction — funds transfer, title changes hands, and you take possession. Mike coordinates with lawyers and lenders throughout.
