What our clients say

“Making all the legalese accessible and understandable.”

I worked with Eric and his team to close on my first property. From the get go, Eric was very responsive and provided efficient status certificate reviews (three times!) to assist in my decision to purchase. Even at the final signing, he was patient and meticulous enough to explain everything in the legal documents, making all the legalese accessible and understandable. Shout to his team members, Jenny and Alejandro, too, for the responsive service. Would recommend for your real estate needs.

Questions before you start

Is the quote really free?

Yes. The quote costs nothing, and you’re under no obligation to use us. Nothing starts until you tell us you’d like to go ahead. Then we open your file and guide you through the next steps.

When will I hear back?

By the next business day. A member of our real estate team reviews your details and gets back to you with your quote, or an answer if you asked us something else. Need us sooner? Call our office at (647) 793-2939.

Could the cost change after I get my quote?

Our legal fee is fixed. Disbursements are quoted as an approximate total, and on a purchase they already include registering your deed and any mortgage. On a purchase, title insurance depends on your price and property type, and costs more if your mortgage is from a private lender. On a new build, land transfer tax is worked out on the price including HST, so it can move slightly. We confirm the final closing amount with you before closing.

When do I pay your fees?

In most cases, as part of your closing, with no separate bill. On a purchase, our fee is included in the one closing amount we confirm with you before closing day. On a sale, it’s paid from your sale proceeds.

How early should I contact you?

The earlier the better. If you’re buying, you can reach out before you make an offer, so we’re ready when you do. Once your conditions are waived, the agreement is final and the room to change it is gone.

I’m not near Thornhill. Do I have to come in?

No. We act on closings across Ontario. You can sign at our Thornhill office, or verify your identity and sign your documents remotely. Either way, a lawyer leads your closing from start to finish.
