I called around for several Real Estate Law firms. Many of them charge extra for online signing,…read morecharge extra for bank wire fees, and many of them took long to return my phone calls. Realestatelawyers.ca returned phone calls within one business day, does not charge bank fees if you deal with one of the 5 major banks in Canada, and does not charge for online signing (no software fees, no online signing fees, etc.). So their pricing was very transparent, and they provided good service, everything went smoothly. They also provided good after sales support when needed. They also have the most flexible schedule, they will sign 7 days a week, from morning until 10 or 11 p.m.

Thank you, Korman & Co.

They were great initially very quick to respond. However, when it came to closing, my closing was…read moredelayed a day due to their lack of due diligence of ensuring the builder of my new condo build provided the correct master insurance binder letter. Because of this, my lender didn't want to close. The lawyer's office was not proactive in advising me of this issue until I called them to ask when I was getting my keys. They then asked me to provide them with my builders contact info. (Shouldn't they have already had this informaton?!) With only just an hour to close, they were not able to get the corrected binder letter, and then they had the audacity to tell me it was my lenders fault. I did all the closing paperwork and payment a few days before hand, so they had plenty of time to identify they had the wrong information from the builder and could have corrected it in time. After being upset that I didn't close on time, as it was a huge inconvenience to me, I was then told I should not have expected to get my keys on closing day, and that they had previously especially informed me of this. This was a complete outright lie. I was told not to expect my keys before 5pm on closing day. I have several properties and have had multiple closings, and never have I ever been delayed in getting keys especially when the closing should have been as cookie cutter as this with a new condo build.

I am writing this review with carefully thinking this through and trying to look at all aspects of…read morethe situation in which I have encountered with this firm. I want to write this review from my experience with Mr Picov which dated mid-April 2020. I had purchased an investment property and very fortunate to be in a position to purchase an investment property even at this time of pandemic. But wanted to ensure I am very aware of all costs involved ensuring I would not put myself in a bad financial state. This being said we are not a wealthy couple but we make sure we always plan ahead and invest so we are secured for our retirement. We make an honest living and try not to spend money in areas where we believe is excessive. Such as designer bags, clothing etc. We generally like to spend time at home and cook our meals and rarely go out. The point is we budget everything we spend and know how hard it is to make a dollar. Because we paid our way through school by working part-time jobs to make sure we were not in debt when we graduated. We are in our early 40s and saved enough to purchase an investment property. So we had contact Mr Picovs firm to handle our investment property. Our realtor had referred us to him so decided to pay him a visit. It seemed like he knew very well of the builders and helped out a few clients. The initial visit was okay but he would ask on several occasions as to what I did for a living. Didn't bother me but I knew he was asking because my wife and I really don't look our age. We firmed up our offer with our realtor and decided to go with Mr Picov as our lawyer as he had experience with this developer on our 2nd visit with him. During this time allot of home owners were applying for mortgage deferrals and our approval process was taking longer then anticipated. Understanding this I had made sure prior to signing the contract that there was a clause to ensure finances must be approved. It was coming closer to our closing date and our mortgage was not approved yet. Verbally it was approved by our mortgage specialist but it was still with the underwriters. I get a call from Mr Picov and he was stating the urgency that we need to proceed with this contract if not the deal will fall. I said I understand this but was not comfortable in signing anything yet or starting the work until I have signed my mortgage papers. He had recommended we do this so we can get the paper started so we can meet the closing date deadline. I told him the situation with the bank and there is longer then normal processing periods for mortgages because of the current pandemic state. But he had still insisted we go along with this because there is allot of paperwork that needs to get done to meet the closing date. I got upset with him at this point and told him I am aware and if we need to default this contract I am fine with that because I do not want to be put myself at any risk. This is an investment for us and if banks are having a hard time providing mortgages to other borrowers who's to say I would get my mortgage approved by the underwriter? I emailed Mr Picov the next day and apologized for getting heated in the call. I then have called him and based on his recommendation I did provide him with a deposit to start the paperwork. I get a call back from the bank a few days later and they have told me they cannot approve this property. The reason being is the underwriters could not approve because of the clause in the contract.So I called Mr Picov and told him the situation and he understood. Then I brought up the cost of the deposit if he could refund me and he was telling me that there was allot of work done and was saying he could not. I totally get that but the response and attitude I got from him was very unprofessional. He did work for me I agreed but based on his recommendation which I had stated I was not comfortable with. There is more but I would just leave at here and I would like to tell folks to really reconsider.
