It was finally time to downsize to a condo, and we got lucky as it didn’t take long for us to find the perfect place for our needs + a few wants! Timing wasn’t perfect, but we went for it – we purchased the condo, and put our house up for sale. The purchase of our soon-to-be-home closed in April and the sale of our old house closed in September – a 5-month gap we suddenly had to make work!
Thank goodness for The Pearlstein Wealth team… our panic quickly turned to relief. They really rallied with our other advisors to make it happen. They looked at various options and coordinated with my accountant to come up with a tax efficient plan to raise the funds. They quickly arranged the whole thing with our lawyer, accountant, banker and investment account, and on April 29th we got a call from Geoff who told us a cheque was waiting for us at our RBC bank branch.
We couldn’t be happier with how SIMPLE and manageable the whole process was. All that’s left to do now is settle into our new home!
