If that new certificate of location comes back showing any differences from your original understanding of the property, you are stuck with it because you\u2019ve signed the Annex A.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0|0px|29px|0px|false|false&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.3.1&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.montreal-realestate.ca\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Jennifer-Lynn-Walker-Image.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.17&#8243; max_width=&#8221;66%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;15px||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;Alegreya||on||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#aaaaaa&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; header_6_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#e02b20&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;45px|||&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;400ms&#8221; animation_starting_opacity=&#8221;100%&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>MEET JENN<\/h1>\n<h4>Real Estate Broker &amp; Educator<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Jennifer Lynn Walker has specialized in buying and selling both residential and multiplex properties since 2003.
