Selling an Ontario Property From Another Province or Country? You Don't Have to Come Back.

Owning Ontario real estate you no longer live near is its own kind of work. If you've moved to another province, taken a job abroad, or inherited a place you can't get to, selling it the usual way means flights, agent meetings, and repairs coordinated from hundreds or thousands of kilometres away. We buy houses, condos, cottages, rentals, and land across Ontario as-is, and we run the whole sale so you can do it from wherever you live.

You stay put. We handle the property here in Ontario, one scheduled walkthrough, a fair cash offer, and a closing your own Ontario real estate lawyer completes. Documents are couriered or e-signed, funds are wired, and you never need to book a trip back.

Why Selling From a Distance Is Harder

  • Coordinating repairs, cleaning, and contractors you can't oversee in person
  • Booking flights or long drives just for showings, inspections, and signing
  • Carrying a mortgage, property tax, insurance, and utilities on a place you don't use
  • Managing tenants, snow removal, lawn care, or winterizing from far away
  • Time-zone gaps and mail delays when the property sits in a different province or country

We work with absentee and non-resident owners across Ontario regularly, and we've built the sale around not needing you on the ground.

Why Sell to Us From Out of Province

  • Fair, all-cash offer, usually within 24 hours
  • Sell as-is, no repairs, cleaning, staging, or open houses
  • Close in as little as 7 days, or on a date that suits your travel and timeline
  • No realtor commissions or listing fees cutting into your proceeds
  • Everything handled remotely, sign electronically or by courier, funds wired to you
  • One scheduled walkthrough we arrange locally, so you don't fly in for it

How We Close the Sale Remotely

You don't need to be in Ontario for any part of this. After you reach out, we arrange one walkthrough of the property, we can meet a tenant, a neighbour, a property manager, or a family member who has access, or coordinate entry ourselves. From that visit we prepare a firm cash offer, usually within 24 hours.

Once you accept, your own Ontario real estate lawyer handles the closing. The agreement and closing documents are sent to you to e-sign or by courier, wherever you are. If signing across time zones or borders is awkward, you can grant a power of attorney to a trusted person or your lawyer so the paperwork is completed here on your behalf. On closing day the funds are wired straight to your account.

What We Take Care Of Locally

  • Arranging and attending the one property walkthrough here in Ontario
  • Preparing a written, all-cash offer with no financing conditions
  • Coordinating with your Ontario real estate lawyer through closing
  • Working around tenants, access, or a property manager on the ground
  • Buying as-is, so nothing on the property needs fixing or emptying first

Managing a Property You Can't Get To

A vacant Ontario home three provinces away, or overseas, keeps costing money and attention. Property tax and insurance still come due. A furnace failure or burst pipe in an Ontario winter can do real damage before anyone notices, which is why absentee owners pay to have places winterized, checked, and kept heated. Lawns, leaves, and snow have to be dealt with so the property doesn't sit obviously empty. Tenants, if there are any, need a landlord who can actually respond.

Selling ends all of it. Once we close, the upkeep, the tax bills, the winterizing, and the tenant calls become ours, not yours.

Ontario Properties We Buy From Out-of-Province Owners

  • Single-family homes, semi-detached houses, and townhouses
  • Condos and apartment units
  • Cottages and recreational or waterfront properties
  • Rental and investment properties, with or without tenants
  • Vacant land, farmland, and development sites
  • Homes sitting empty, needing repairs, or hard to manage from afar

If You Live Outside Canada: Non-Resident Sellers

Selling as a non-resident of Canada adds a tax step that owners inside the country don't face. Under Section 116 of the Income Tax Act, a non-resident seller's lawyer or the buyer generally has to hold back a portion of the sale price and remit it to the Canada Revenue Agency unless you obtain a clearance certificate. That certificate can take weeks to come through, so it's worth starting early.

This isn't tax advice, and every situation differs, a principal residence you left behind, a long-held rental, and a recently inherited property are all treated differently. Confirm the withholding, the clearance certificate, and any provincial or foreign tax with an Ontario real estate lawyer and a cross-border accountant before you close. We're used to closings that involve the Section 116 process and can work to your lawyer's timeline.

How Long Selling Remotely Takes

For an owner inside Canada, this can move fast: a cash offer within 24 hours of the walkthrough, and a closing in as little as 7 days, typically 7 to 15 days once your lawyer has what they need. If you live abroad, budget extra time for a Section 116 clearance certificate and for documents to travel between countries, and we'll set the closing date around that. You pick a date that fits your own schedule, not ours.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my Ontario house if I live in another province?

Absolutely, living out of province doesn't stop you from selling. We buy Ontario homes from owners across Canada and handle the sale here so you don't have to travel back. You sign electronically or by courier, your own Ontario lawyer closes it, and the funds are wired to you. Call or text 647-495-4260 for an offer, usually within 24 hours.

How do I sell a house in Ontario remotely?

Start with a call or text to 647-495-4260. We arrange one local walkthrough, through a tenant, neighbour, property manager, or someone with access, then send a firm cash offer within 24 hours. Your Ontario real estate lawyer manages the closing, you e-sign or courier the documents, and the proceeds are wired to you wherever you live. No trip to Ontario needed.

Do I have to travel to Ontario to close the sale?

No travel is required. Every step, the walkthrough, the offer, signing, and receiving your money, is built to work from a distance. Your Ontario lawyer handles the closing, documents are e-signed or couriered, and if signing from abroad is awkward you can use a power of attorney. The proceeds are wired to your account on closing day.

What is a power of attorney and do I need one to sell remotely?

A power of attorney lets someone you trust, often a family member or your lawyer, sign closing documents in Ontario on your behalf. It's optional. Many out-of-province sellers simply e-sign or courier the paperwork instead. But if you're overseas, in a difficult time zone, or hard to reach, a POA keeps the closing on schedule. Your lawyer can prepare one.

I'm a non-resident of Canada, what taxes apply when I sell?

Non-resident sellers face a withholding step under Section 116 of the Income Tax Act. Your lawyer or the buyer generally holds back part of the sale price for the CRA unless you obtain a clearance certificate, which takes time to get. Capital gains may also apply. Confirm the details with an Ontario real estate lawyer and a cross-border accountant before closing.

What is a Section 116 clearance certificate?

It's a document from the Canada Revenue Agency confirming a non-resident seller's tax on a property sale has been addressed. With it, less of your proceeds is held back at closing. Applying can take several weeks, so start early if you live outside Canada. We can work to your lawyer's timeline while the certificate is processed, ask your accountant how it applies to you.

Can you buy my Ontario rental if I live out of province and it has tenants?

You can sell, tenants and all. We buy tenanted Ontario rentals as-is and take on the tenancy at closing, so you stop managing it from afar. In Ontario a valid tenancy continues after a sale, and we become the landlord once we close. You don't have to evict, chase rent, or handle repairs first, just share the lease and rent history.

How do you handle the walkthrough if I'm not in Ontario?

We arrange one scheduled walkthrough locally, so you don't have to be there. We can meet a tenant, a neighbour, a property manager, or a relative who has a key, or coordinate access ourselves. From that visit we prepare your cash offer. It's the only walkthrough involved, no open houses and no repeated visits for you to manage from a distance.

Who pays the property taxes and upkeep while the sale is going through?

Until closing, the property is still yours, so the taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep stay your responsibility, one reason selling quickly helps. At closing, your lawyer adjusts for prepaid property tax and similar costs so each side pays its share. After that, every bill and every winterizing or maintenance task becomes ours instead of yours.

How fast can I sell my Ontario property from out of province?

Inside Canada it moves quickly: a cash offer within 24 hours of the walkthrough and a closing in as little as 7 days, usually 7 to 15. If you live abroad, allow extra time for a Section 116 clearance certificate and for documents to travel between countries. We set the closing date around your paperwork and your schedule.
