Real Estate

Selling a home

Creighton helps you sell your home anywhere in Ontario.

Whether you are selling a home, condominium, rural property, cottage or other kind of residential Real Estate in Oshawa and the surrounding Durham Region, one of your highest priorities involves closing your sale and receiving your sale proceeds in a timely manner. Many of our clients are also in the process of buying another property, and so delays in the sale of a home may have a negative consequence on the purchase of your new home.

At Creighton Law LLP, we have the experience and skill to make sure the closing of your sale goes smoothly.
