Guided Process
The Guided Process organizes the purchase agreement, conditions, deadlines, deposit, sale documents, signatures, payment, and delivery in one private file.
CAD $699 per transaction, plus tax
Free to start. The fee is requested only after the buyer and seller accept the same final terms.

Accept Final Terms
Every proposal is tracked as a version. Changes stay visible, and each selected condition shows who is responsible and the deadline.
Pay and eSign
Once both sides accept the same final terms, payment opens the signing process. Completed documents are added to the file after all required signatures are collected.
Separate from the boat price and any deposit. Those funds are never mixed with service fees.
Complete the Boat Sale
Conditions are satisfied or waived on the record. Shared status and payment evidence stay visible while sensitive lender and identity documents remain protected.
Choose Guided When
Keep the lender’s payout statement, payment evidence, and discharge follow-up organized with the file.
Survey, sea trial, financing, insurance, and documentation review can each become a written condition with an owner and deadline.
Record no deposit, direct payment to the seller, or request the HarbourClose Client Deposit Account for an eligible transaction.
Before You Trust Us With It
HarbourClose is not a marketplace. A transaction file is visible only to invited buyers and sellers and authorized HarbourClose staff. Identity documents are not shown to the other side.
Proposals, confirmations, signatures, and status changes remain organized with the file. A change that needs new signatures is issued as a new version.
The service fee is charged separately and is never deducted from a deposit or other boat-sale funds. The file keeps those amounts and purposes distinct.
Starting the file and working toward final terms do not trigger the Guided fee. The payment request comes after both sides accept the same final version.
What HarbourClose is not: a law firm, brokerage, lender, insurer, escrow provider, or title guarantor. HarbourClose organizes the boat-sale process; it does not represent either side or guarantee title.

Straight Answers
If the transaction ends before the buyer and seller accept the same final terms, the Guided Process fee is not requested. After payment, the service-fee terms and their written agreement govern what happens next.
HarbourClose may offer its Client Deposit Account for eligible transactions. We do not describe it as escrow. Any release follows the written instructions accepted for that transaction.
Yes. The seller obtains the lender payout statement, the file records the payment evidence, and discharge follow-up is tracked. HarbourClose does not guarantee the lender’s discharge timing.
No payment is required to begin. The starter can enter the facts they know and invite the buyer or seller by secure link to join the same file.
HarbourClose is not a law firm, brokerage, lender, insurer, escrow provider, or title guarantor. It organizes the transaction process and records the buyer’s and seller’s instructions and actions.
