Deposit FAQS


Where does my deposit go?

Your deposit is held in a trust account with my brokerage, eXp Realty. It remains there until it is transferred to the lawyer prior to closing.

Does my deposit count toward my down payment?

Yes. Your deposit forms part of your total down payment.

What happens to my deposit if I back out before closing?

In most cases, the deposit will be forfeited to the seller.

Why do you need my account information?

The Provincial Government of BC requires a FINTRAC Record of Funds form to be submitted whenever a deposit is paid. This form was introduced to help combat money laundering.
