The problem

Your deposit is due right after acceptance.

Then it sits in trust until closing. That's money you could use for the down payment, closing costs and the move.

The answer

DepositGuard replaces
all or part of it.

  • You keep your cash until closing
  • The bond protects the seller

To get approved

You don't pay until your offer is accepted.

Then it's a single, one-time charge.

Where it works

Resale, new builds and pre-construction.

Resale

Use it on any offer while your approval is valid.

New builds

The builder, like any seller, decides whether to accept it.

Pre-construction

Keep cash free during a long wait to closing.

From $10,000 to $250,000, up to 10% of the purchase price. For Canadian citizens and permanent residents, outside Quebec.

For the seller

The bond protects the seller.

If the buyer doesn't close, the seller can claim on the bond after a claim review, up to the bond amount.

The buyer then repays SecureMyOffer as agreed.
