Condo Classifications in Alberta | Conventional, Bare-Land, Bare-Land Built-Out & Barely Blended 🏢🏡

In this Q&A session, Raman breaks down the four main types of condo classifications in Alberta real estate and how they work in practice. Here's what you'll learn in this clip:

🏢 Conventional Condos — Unit boundaries defined by walls, floors, and ceilings.

🌿 Bare-Land Condos — Ownership of land parcels, often used in recreational developments.

🏡 Bare-Land Built-Out — A hybrid of land ownership and detached single-family homes with condo corporation-managed common areas.

🏗️ Barely Blended — Large developments that combine bare-land and conventional condos, often developed in multiple phases.

This is an important concept for real estate students, agents, and investors to understand — especially when advising clients on RPR requirements, common property responsibilities, and bylaw implications.

Transferring the Land Title in Alberta | Costs, Taxes & Legal Steps Explained 🏡

In this Q&A excerpt, Raman explains what happens when you transfer the land title of a property in Alberta — whether it's between family members, partners, or other ownership changes. Here's what's covered in this quick session:

💰 Capital Gains Consideration — If the property value has increased since purchase, you may need to pay capital gains tax on 50% of that profit.

🏦 Mortgage Perspective — If there's a mortgage, you'll need to re-qualify or deal with possible penalties.

📜 Legal Process — If there's no mortgage, the title transfer is straightforward. A lawyer typically handles the paperwork, and the transfer fee is around $200. T

his is an important topic for future licensees and property owners to understand. Real estate professionals should be able to guide their clients through the financial and legal implications of title transfers confidently.

Key Hand-Off on Possession Day | How the Final Step Works in Alberta Real Estate

In this short Q&A clip, Raman explains how the key hand-off works on possession day in a typical Alberta real estate transaction. Once the buyer's lawyer sends the funds to the seller's lawyer and the funds are confirmed in trust, the seller's lawyer notifies the seller's agent that the keys are releasable. From there, the buyer's agent gets the go-ahead — and that's when the buyer finally gets possession.

🏡✨ This is a critical step in closing a deal, and understanding this sequence helps new agents guide their clients confidently through possession day.

What Happens to the Deposit When a Real Estate Deal Falls Through in Alberta 💰

🏡 In this Q&A clip, Raman explains one of the most common questions buyers have — what happens to the deposit if the deal doesn't go through? Here's what's covered in this session:

💵 Before Condition Removal — If conditions like financing or inspection aren't satisfied, buyers can back out legally and get their deposit back.

📄 After Condition Removal — Once conditions are waived, the deal is firm. If the buyer backs out, they lose the deposit and may face legal action.

⚖️ Real Case Example — Raman shares a real scenario where a buyer in Toronto lost their deposit and had to pay the difference when the property value dropped. Understanding this process is crucial for new agents, buyers, and sellers to protect themselves and avoid costly mistakes.
