For Real Estate Agents
If you are a real estate agent in Ontario, you have almost certainly seen a NOSI surface during a parcel register pull, or watched a closing get held up by a long-tenure water heater rental and a buyout figure no one expected. Oakwell Partners works with sellers and buyers' lawyers to resolve these issues on closing-deadline timelines.
What we see most often
NOSIs from the 2008-2018 era remain on tens of thousands of Ontario homes. Most sellers do not know they exist until you tell them.
Buyer financing typically cannot close while a NOSI is active. Aggressive buyout quotes from finance companies often push sellers into paying figures that bear no relationship to the equipment's actual depreciated value.
Where the underlying agreement is challengeable under the 2018 CPA amendments, a negotiated discharge — or a court-ordered discharge in extreme cases — is achievable on closing timelines.
What we offer
- Same-day response on closing-deadline cases.
- Direct communication with sellers and their lawyers — we manage the finance company so the agent can focus on the deal.
- Negotiated NOSI discharge on tight timelines.
- Free review for any seller or buyer with an HVAC contract concern.
