About Fort Richmond

Fort Richmond runs south from the University of Manitoba campus to the Perimeter Highway, between Pembina Highway and the Red River. It was developed as a planned community starting in the mid-1960s and built out through the mid-1980s. Fort Richmond Collegiate is on Killarney Avenue.

The two-storeys from that first wave are now around 60 years old. Here’s what tends to come up when one of them goes up for sale:

  • Aluminum wiring. Some houses from that era have it. Many Manitoba insurers are strict about older wiring and may want it dealt with before they’ll cover a buyer.
  • An old roof. A small leak that gets put off lets rain and snowmelt into the attic insulation and ceilings, and mould follows.
  • Foundation cracks. A buyer’s lender won’t fund a house it thinks might fail. We buy these houses anyway.

We’ll Tell You If Listing Is Better

We were once asked to buy a condo near Fort Richmond. It was too particular a property for a cash purchase to make sense, so instead we helped the owner list it with an agent. If your house would do better on the open market, we’ll tell you the same thing.

Facing Foreclosure in Fort Richmond

If you’re behind on payments and the bank’s lawyer has written, you’re in pre-foreclosure. That’s the window before the court hearing, and it’s the best time to sell. After the hearing, if the court orders you out, the bank’s lawyer brings in a realtor and lists the house.

By that point the costs have grown: more lawyer hours, more bank fees and penalties, and a realtor’s commission taken from the sale proceeds. Selling in pre-foreclosure usually leaves you with more, and fewer hoops to jump through. You’ll want proper guidance either way. See facing foreclosure.

Questions About Selling in Fort Richmond

My parents’ house is still full of their things. Do I have to empty it?

No. Take what you want and leave the rest. Families often call us in winter for exactly this reason: you can’t hold an estate sale on a driveway full of snow. See selling an inherited property.

How do you come up with your offer?

From our numbers. We take the house’s market value, subtract what it costs to fix it up, then subtract our margin. The details are on our page about how cash buyers calculate an offer. We’re a business, so we can’t overpay, but we won’t play games either.

Who handles the paperwork and my mortgage?

In Manitoba, home sales close through real estate lawyers, so your lawyer handles the paperwork and pays out your mortgage from the sale proceeds.

Do you buy in nearby areas too?

Yes. We buy across south Winnipeg, including University Heights, Fort Garry, St. Norbert and Waverley West.
