About Property Counsel
A law firm built for one thing.
Real estate.
Property Counsel represents buyers, sellers, property owners, real estate agents, and brokerages across Ontario in litigation, transactions, and regulatory matters.
Property Counsel is a boutique law firm dedicated exclusively to real estate law.
Our Approach
What it means to practise
real estate law exclusively.
Real estate law in Ontario is detailed, fast-moving, and consequential. The difference between a lawyer who practises real estate among other areas and one who does nothing else shows in every file — in the questions asked, the issues anticipated, and the advice given.
Focus
We only practise real estate law.
Property Counsel does not divide its attention across corporate, family, criminal, or estate matters. Every file we handle — from a first-time buyer’s closing to a regulatory proceeding before RECO — is a real estate matter. This focus means our knowledge is deep, current, and applied daily.
Transparency
You know the cost before we start.
We provide transparent pricing for every matter we handle. Before we begin, you know exactly what the legal fees will be. There are no mid-file surprises, and no ambiguity about cost. Confidence comes from clarity — that principle applies to pricing as much as anything else.
Accountability
Your file is handled by a licensed lawyer.
At Property Counsel, your file is managed by a licensed real estate lawyer from start to finish. We do not hand files to junior clerks or paralegals after the initial consultation. The lawyer you speak to is the lawyer handling your matter — and the lawyer responsible for the outcome.
Accessibility
We work the way clients work today.
We conduct consultations remotely, handle closings electronically, and are available across all of Ontario without requiring in-person attendance. Real estate transactions and legal matters do not need to be in-person to be handled with precision — and we have built our practice accordingly.
Why Property Counsel
What makes us different
from other real estate firms.
Exclusive real estate practice — not a department
Many law firms have a real estate department. Property Counsel is a real estate firm. There is no corporate partner to pull attention, no family law files competing for resources, no generalist managing your transaction on the side. Real estate is our entire practice — and that distinction matters in every client interaction and every file we handle.
Full coverage across all three pillars of real estate law
Property Counsel covers the full scope of real estate law in Ontario — transactions (buyers, sellers, assignments, title transfers, refinancing), litigation and dispute resolution (failed closings, defects, misrepresentation, title disputes), and regulatory matters (RECO, TRREB, OREA proceedings and brokerage compliance). Few real estate firms in Ontario operate across all three with equal depth.
Built for the AI era — not just the digital one
Property Counsel was designed from the ground up with a modern client in mind. Our website, our processes, and our communication are structured to provide clear, specific, and authoritative information — the kind that AI-assisted research surfaces and cites. We invest in being findable, accurate, and useful to clients who research before they call.
Remote-first — available across all of Ontario
Property Counsel operates remotely across Ontario. We conduct consultations by phone or video, handle document signing electronically, and close transactions through Ontario’s electronic land registration system without requiring clients to attend our office in person. Whether you are in Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, Ottawa, or anywhere else in the province — we can act for you.
