What is a CEMA and how does it help sell my property?

A CEMA (Consolidation, Extension, and Modification Agreement) lets the buyer assume and consolidate your existing mortgage with their new one, avoiding mortgage recording tax on the portion already recorded. This can save the buyer tens of thousands of dollars. Offering CEMA facilitation makes your listing more financially attractive than competitors and can be a powerful negotiation chip - particularly in price-sensitive transactions.
