Image

Situated between North Toronto and Forest Hill, this family-friendly area may not get as much buzz as other affluent neighbourhoods in Toronto, but it’s still a much sought-after neighbourhood by families looking for a safe, family-friendly area.

LEARN THE PROS & CONS OF LIVING ON A MAJOR OR BUSY STREET

Image
BUYING A HOUSE ON A BUSY STREET Jumping into the real estate market, the first thing you will learn about the house hunting process is that there are trade offs.  There is no way to buy a home without compromising about something.

TITLE INSURANCE AND YOUR HOME PURCHASE

ALL ABOUT TITLE INSURANCE Most people who have car, home and health insurance have probably made claims and wouldn't consider being without it.  However, it might be difficult to find a homeowner who has made a claim on their title insurance which could lead a person to think that it may not be necessary. Title insurance covers the largest investment most people have and if there was a loss, it could be devastating.  Title insurance indemnifies the policy holder from financial loss sustained from defects in the title to the property.  The policy holder is determined by their interest in the property. An owner's title policy protects the owner of the property from title issues that may arise other than the mortgages that are being placed on the property at the time of purchase.  The title of the property goes back in time to check that clear title (no unsatisfied liens or levies and poses no question to legal ownership) was passed from owner to owner up t...
