Wannes Law Professional Corporation

Wannes Law Professional Corporation is a real estate law firm in Scarborough, Toronto, founded in 2020 by lawyer Rosalie Wannes. The firm helps homeowners, first-time buyers, families and investors buy, sell and refinance property across the Greater Toronto Area and throughout Ontario, from downtown condominiums to cottages in Muskoka, the Kawarthas and Haliburton.

Since opening, Rosalie has completed over 500 residential closings, including freehold homes, condominiums and pre-construction purchases. She is licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa and an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto, and is a member of the Toronto Lawyers Association.

Real estate services

For buyers, the firm reviews the agreement of purchase and sale, searches title, arranges title insurance, works with the lender, calculates land transfer tax and registers the transfer on closing day. First-time buyer land transfer tax rebates, both Ontario and Toronto, are claimed directly at registration. For sellers, the firm prepares the closing documents, obtains mortgage payout statements, arranges the discharge of the existing mortgage and makes sure the proceeds are paid out correctly. Refinances, title transfers between family members, adding or removing someone from title, condo status certificate reviews and pre-construction agreement reviews are also handled in-house. The firm also acts on commercial real estate transactions and commercial lease reviews.

A preventative approach

Most closing-day problems can be seen weeks in advance. Rosalie reviews every file personally, looking for title issues, unexpected adjustments, financing gaps and contract deadlines early, so clients have time to resolve them. For pre-construction buyers, she pays close attention to development charges, adjustment caps, HST rebates, occupancy terms and Tarion protections. Every document is explained in plain language before it is signed.

Clear pricing

Clients know what they will pay before they retain the firm. The instant online quote tool at wanneslaw.com shows the legal fee, disbursements and land transfer tax for a purchase, sale or refinance in about two minutes. Condo status certificate reviews are a flat $250 plus HST, waived when the client completes the purchase with the firm, and wills and powers of attorney are offered at published flat fees.

Property and estates under one roof

Many title questions involve an estate, and many estates involve a home. Alongside its real estate practice, Wannes Law prepares wills and powers of attorney, applies for probate, administers estates and completes survivorship and transmission applications to transfer property after a death. The firm also offers business incorporation and notary public services.

Service in your language

Rosalie serves clients in English and Armenian, and Arabic is available through the firm’s team.
