Selling a home and notarizing documents

Hey guys,

I am selling my home and my closing date is coming up pretty soon. This is for a property in Ontario. This is my first experience with selling a home in another province and would love some advice from people with similar experiences. My lawyer mentioned a few months ago about getting documents notarized and I just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before the closing date, plus she is on Vacation and I can't get a response from her until monday.

I am assuming she meant the following (and please correct me if I am wrong)

- she preps the bundle of documents
- sends it to a notary of MY choice
- I pay the notary, I sign it, they stamp it
- return it to her?

If this is the case, does anyone know of any cheap notaries? Called a place in Surrey and they wanted

"not sure, between 150$ to 200$"....




I immediately hung up. If they were a real professional office they would know their prices, but instead they talked to me like a car mechanic does. Also, are there any free notaries owned by the city or ones that are open late? All of the notaries I saw were open only until 4:00-4:30. I work in Surrey (84/128) and live beside Coquitlam Center

Thanks guys
