In one of the biggest financial decisions in life, there is no room for error. In the final stages of buying, selling or refinancing property, people deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing every detail is taken care of and every pitfall averted. Lisa Ehrlich is there to provide that happy ending to people starting a new chapter in their lives.
A Notary Public with Salvador Davis & Company Notaries Public in Sidney, Lisa Ehrlich is co-owner and partner in the company with Laurie Salvador. She puts her ‘Contract Law’ expertise to work in the area of real estate. Acting for either buyer or seller, Lisa comes in after a real estate agreement becomes a firm and binding contract with all of the necessary steps taken by all parties. Lisa takes the transaction through to completion, finalizing the complex details of buying, selling or refinancing. Acting for a seller, she confirms that the information is correct and attends to execution of the documents. Working with buyers, Lisa makes sure that the bank’s instructions are followed and the mortgage documents are prepared and filed correctly. By facilitating the proper completion and transfer of documents between all parties, Lisa ensures a successful process.
After completing the UBC Notary Program in 2000, Lisa received the Dr. Hoeter Award for highest marks in the province. This dedication to excellence underscores Lisa’s valuable work at Salvador Davis; her extensive expertise protects her clients from mistakes that could come back to bite them. For example, she will search a land title to make sure there are no past judgements, mortgages or debts against it to derail the buyer’s dream. Recently, Lisa caught a land title error before the property was transferred to the buyer: “It could have caused a problem.”
The Notaries at Salvador Davis are held to the same standard as a lawyer. And “Many people do not realize that they can go to a Notary to do a transaction for purchase or sale.” Lisa knows the innate value of her profession: “The importance of the work is to protect the client and look out for their best interests. People need someone to ensure that documents get registered and everything is properly done.” In the end, Lisa assures a worry-free process and a successful financial closure for sellers. And buyers actually get the dream they signed-up for: “a house that they want and love that is clear of any other financial charges.” Lisa proudly reflects: “I give people peace of mind!”
When a huge financial investment is at stake, it makes sense to load the dice. With Lisa Ehrlich at the table, you will win peace of mind.
