Choosing The Right Real Estate Agent When Selling
Having a professional real estate broker makes a real difference in your real estate journey, especially in the fast moving Greater Toronto Area real estate market.
A licensed Toronto REALTOR© finds prices of comparable homes in your area and suggests what yours is worth. They list homes on the MLS (multiple listing service) and book showings and open houses. Your realtor can prepare offers of purchase for Axess Law real estate attorneys to review and provide documents we need to close your sale. Without a realtor, you can expect to do all the work yourself.

What Our Customers Say About Us
My wife and I had an amazing experience with Axess Law regarding our very first home purchase. They were very responsive to our questions, calling the same day (multiple times) and returning any missed call. They were diligent, fair, and transparent. I would use their services again.
★★★★★ 5/5
The team at Axcess Law was extremely easy to work with. They were quick to respond, answered all my questions and made the entire process of closing really easy.
★★★★★ 5/5
They set up a team dedicated to my sale of real estate, and dealt with my queries outside the scope of work, out of my inexperience and being detached from legal issues, diligently and with utmost patience. As a result, I not only achieved a smooth transaction with clear documentation, but also gained invaluable experience and a lawyer’s team that I would consult and retain for my future needs.

Some FAQs
Only a licensed lawyer or notary public can prepare legal documents to close a real estate sale in Ontario. Axess Law does the legal footwork for you.

We even pass the keys from seller to owner.

Home inspections protect real estate buyers and sellers from unfortunate and costly lawsuits.
Your home is sold in “as is” condition. It’s up to you as the homeowner to report defects in the seller’s disclosure statement your realtor provides when you list your home for sale. You can be liable if you withhold information on latent or hidden defects you knew about before closing a real estate deal.
Axess Law real estate attorneys can advise you on how to proceed if a home inspection turns up problems such as pests, mould, mildew, or a faulty foundation. Home buyers have up to two years after discovering a defect to take legal action. It pays to have Axess Law on your side in case your home sale goes sideways due to a defect discovered after the fact.

We set a date with you to come into one of our conveniently located Greater Toronto Area offices to sign closing documents or send someone to meet at your home or office.
