The answer

Keep representation agreements and disclosures, lender records, down-payment evidence, listings and property disclosures, the signed contract and every schedule or amendment, deposit receipt, inspection and specialist reports, estimates, condo documents, title or RPR and permit evidence, insurance, lawyer and adjustment records, walkthrough evidence, warranties, manuals, invoices, and dated communications.

Calgary-specific context

A well-kept Calgary property file makes later hail or water claims, renovations, permits, condo questions, refinancing, renting, and resale easier to explain and verify.

What to do next

Create a digital binder by transaction, property system, project, and date before possession, with a list of records still owed.

Check your financing for the specific property.

A pre-approval is not final financing. Confirm the property, appraisal, insurer, cash to close and lender conditions before deciding whether to remove a financing condition. A planning score cannot authorize a purchase.
