FAQs from Real Estate Professionals
What is a Home Deposit Guarantee?
A Home Deposit Guarantee is an Insurance Guarantee that the Buyer will pay the deposit along with the down payment at closing. If and in the event the Buyer defaults, the insurance company covers the deposit according to the terms of the guarantee.
What is the risk to the Agent or Broker?
There is no risk to the broker, in fact, because we’ve taken the liability of the cash handling away from the broker, we’ve reduced the risk of the deposit in the event the cheque or bank draft gets lost or misplaced, or if there is a fraudulent EFT. Home Deposit Now’s Guarantees comply with the same provincial rules and regulations, set down by the Real Estate Acts.
What happens if the Buyer defaults?
If the Buyer does not complete the sale, the Surety takes immediate direction from the Deposit Holder (typically the Sellers Listing Brokerage) to step in on behalf of the Buyer to make the Seller whole.
Home Deposits Now follows all Provincial Real Estate Regulations - the Buyer’s obligation to the Seller is the same as a cash deposit.
The Surety has the right to recover any losses that it suffers at the hands of the Buyer.
How do Home Deposit Guarantees work?
Once the buyer has completed the application, signed and paid, the guarantee will be issued immediately via email.
A copy will be sent to the Buyers & Sellers Realtor and the real estate lawyer, together with suggested addendum, to attach to the APS for the offer presentation.
How does a Home Deposit Guarantee work for the Seller’s Brokerage?
The Seller’s Realtor will deal with the Home Deposit Guarantee by:
- Entering the details of the guarantee on the trust ledger.
- Copy of the guarantee is attached to the trust ledger if necessary in lieu of a bank deposit receipt (RECO receipt) for a traditional cash deposit.
- There is no cash management requirement, and no interest calculations.
- It is recommended that the Listing Broker invoice the Sellers Lawyer for the full amount of the commission exactly as if the Lawyer is holding the deposit.
What happens when the deposit is a firm deposit?
When a Buyer’s offer is presented to the Listing Broker with a Deposit Guarantee, the offer is considered to be firm at the time it has been accepted by the Seller. This means that the deposit is firm and guaranteed, and the Buyer cannot get out of the deal.
With cash deposit, often a buyer has 24-48 hours to provide a certified cheque, bank draft, or cash transfer as the Deposit. In this case the Buyer has an opportunity to get out of the deal and not provide the Deposit, which means the Buyer has wiggle room which is not ideal for the seller or sellers agent.
Are credit checks, liens or registrations done on the title?
No.
We do not do any credit checks, register a charge or lien on the Buyer’s properties, or charge interest.
This means we do not leave footprints on the Buyer’s credit file, which is good for Mortgage Brokers when getting the best deal for the Buyer. There are no monthly payments to worry about (just a simple one time fee).
What happens if my client’s offer is not the winning bidder?
A Home Deposit Guarantee will allow a Buyer to make as many offers using their Guarantee within its term, at no additional cost.
The Buyer can also extend the term and increase the amount by simply logging into their account, making the changes, and making a payment if extending the term.
Within minutes a new guarantee will be issued, a new offer can be made!
What if the Seller doesn’t accept the Home Deposit Guarantee?
As with any offer, the Seller is, of course, at liberty to do so.
We are a legal and valid deposit method licensed across Canada, with Quebec coming online soon. The Selling Realtor has a legal obligation to present every offer made to the Seller.
In the case of Seller rejection, we will allow the Buyers to use the Home Deposit Guarantee as many times as required until they make a successful offer on their new home.
Our Clients’ satisfaction is our number one priority.
