Buying properties online with OwnSpace is simple, and much faster than any other home buying process. The entire process is completely online, so you can walk through the steps on your time, wherever you are. All you need is a government-issued ID to provide proof of identity, and a credit card to reserve your unit. Once your purchase offer is submitted, we will review and sign; you will receive a notification by email as soon as the offer has been accepted. You will have access to the signed contract and all other unit details in your OwnSpace account.
