How is my notary going to receive my documents?

Irina Bartnik Notary Public • September 16, 2021

Once all the conditions (subjects) are satisfied on your contract of purchase and sale, your Realtor will contact you for the name of the Notary or Lawyer that you would like to use.


Real estate office would gather all of the information on your contract and send it to our office. We use this information to review the contract and as long as there is still availability on the schedule, we add your name on our Calendar to call you about 2 weeks prior to your closing ( moving date). All the files are accepted on first come, first serve basis and if for some reason we cannot help you with your file, your Realtor would receive the message from us right away.


Sometimes we have clients calling our office and wanting to schedule the appointment even before the contract gets to our office. Unfortunately, it is not possible to do so as until we received your contract and had chance to evaluate it, we do not know if we can help you yet.


As Real Estate market is very busy these days, it is not a bad idea to be proactive about getting your name on a Calendar with a Notary. If you are in touch with our office, you can always send us copy of your contract to us by e- mail. As long as you have subject removal attached to it that will secure your spot in our schedule.

Not all the Notary offices have the same procedure of accepting files. Please contact your Notary office to verify that they accepted your file to be processed by them.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me

Fraser Valley Real Estate Market Update | 2025 Year-End Review I love looking at the numbers. Not just the headlines, but what the numbers actually tell us when you slow down and connect the dots. And the headline for 2025 is simple. πŸ“‰ Sales in the Fraser Valley fell to their lowest level in more than 20 years. That sounds dramatic. But this wasn’t a collapse. It was a pause. πŸŽ₯ In this video, I walk through the full year-end 2025 statistics from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, break down what really defined the market, and explain what actually matters going forward. πŸ‘‡ Here’s what I cover in this update: πŸ“Š 2025 Fraser Valley sales volume and historical context 🏘️ Why rising inventory changed buyer behaviour πŸ“ˆ What the sales-to-active listings ratio tells us πŸ’² Benchmark pricing by property type 🧠 Why confidence matters as much as the numbers πŸ”‘ How buyers and sellers should position heading into 2026 πŸ“š Market data referenced in this video: • Year-end statistics from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board • Benchmark pricing and HPI trends • Sales-to-active listings ratios • Detached, townhome, and apartment breakdowns ⚠️ Important note: Market statistics provide context, not guarantees. Real estate is local. Strategy matters. πŸ‘‰ Full market stats link: https://rly.forsale/DecStats

SURREY, BC – Decade-high inventory and softer prices failed to spark buyer demand in the Fraser Valley in 2025. Despite favourable conditions and increased negotiating power, many buyers stayed on the sidelines, making it one of the slowest years for sales in decades. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 12,224 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in 2025, a decline of 16 per cent over 2024 and 33 per cent below the 10-year average. The City of Surrey accounted for the majority of 2025 sales at 48 per cent, with Langley and Abbotsford accounting for 24 per cent and 16 per cent respectively. On the supply side, buyers had more choice than at any point in the past four decades, as new listings climbed to 37,963. The composite Benchmark home price in the Fraser Valley closed the year at $905,900, down six per cent year-over-year, and down 24 per cent from the peak in March 2022.
