They made the entire process very smooth and stress free.
The process is very organized and they make it stress free for the customer.
Overall I am very satisfied with their service and if I need Legal services again Iam definitely going back .
Overall an excellent experience 👍

I was referred to Mark Weisleder and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. I reached out for legal guidance and answers to my questions, but I left feeling that my concerns were not properly addressed and that the experience was far below what I expected from a lawyer.

In my opinion, the communication came across as entitled and dismissive, and I did not feel that I was being treated with the level of respect or professionalism I expected.

He is, without a doubt, the most disappointing lawyer I have spoken with. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend him to others seeking legal advice.

As a non-resident residing in the UK, I have found the entire process of selling my apartment seamless, from the moment of obtaining an online quote to receiving the financial statements the Friday before the closing on Monday. All done in 20 days! This included video signing of Verification of Identity.

The closing of the house I was selling went smooth but no phone calls are updates during the process. There was a hold up on closing of the house I was buying. Turned out in the end the lawyer had the wrong information about air conditioner and whether it was paid for or money was owed on it. They returned funds to my account a few days after closing. A week and a half later they requested it back plus more saying it was sent in error. When I told them that I had already spent the funds and can we arrange a pay back plan since it was their error not mine. They threatened to take me to court and have me pay the legal fees. I was floored. That to me is bullying (using their power to intimidate). I was having to pay extra for their error. I ended up having to max my credit card because their scare tactic worked. What a disappointing experience. I would have given less stars but all was good until I thought we were done just to be pulled in and be bullied. I worked with Andrea Balkisoon the law clerk who probably made the error and Michael Novak the lawyer with the scare tactics. Be ware.

The online service is great and convenient. The price of 999 or 1049 is good too....but timely response to client is the improvement needed. Rest was fine to use this firm.

Extremely poor communication, repeated delays, and a complete lack of proactive client service

My experience with RealEstateLawyers.ca was one of the most frustrating professional service experiences I have had. I rarely write reviews, but this experience was infuriating.

My file was handled by T** Babic (Senior Real Estate Law Clerk) and M*** Weisleder (Senior Partner) in connection with the sale of my Canadian property. As a non-resident citizen, a significant portion of my sale proceeds was retained in trust while CRA processed my T2062 application.

After CRA approved the application and issued the required remittance amount (about 6 months later), I promptly sent the assessment to the firm and asked them to remit the tax from the trust funds they were holding on my behalf. From that point onward, communication largely broke down. My emails frequently went unanswered; I had to make repeated international phone calls simply to obtain updates, and despite being told that the remittance would be processed, weeks passed without action.

Eventually, after persistent follow-up, the firm completed the CRA remittance and later released the remaining trust funds. However, even the conclusion of the file reflected the same lack of professionalism. No notification that my funds had been released. I only became aware of the transfer because I checked my bank account myself. I also had to ask for the final trust accounting, which is supposed to be a basic closing document for their client.

My criticism is not about the legal outcome—the matter was eventually completed correctly. My criticism is about the level of service. Throughout the entire process, I was the one initiating every follow-up. I had to chase updates, chase the CRA remittance, discover the release of my own funds, and then chase the firm again for the final statement.

When clients entrust a law firm with significant funds held in trust, they deserve timely communication, transparency, and confidence that their instructions are being carried out without having to constantly follow up. Unfortunately, that was not my experience, and I cannot recommend this firm based on the level of client service I received.

If you want someone unprofessional make sure you call mark. He’s the most self entitled person whom will make an average Joe (or his wife) fee like trash. By the way. The Mac is running great that’s all folks.

Big thanks to the team at realestatelawyers.ca They made what could have been a difficult experience much easier. Was quite happy to have remote options to choose from for final signing. Would recommend them to other buyers and sellers.

sarah Lionessa and melissa Stratton are corrupt, fraud and liar lawyers who took bribe from realtor rose Macchiuisi to make a false representation in the letter they all drafted together and served on other parties for selling the subject property 7392 heximer avenue, niagara falls, ontario. court case is ongoing and a complaint against their lawyers also made at the law society of Ontario

This was our second time working with realestatelawyers.ca, first time when we were buying our house, and now we reached out to them when we decided to sell the house. Both times we had a very smooth and pleasant relationships, all our questions were answered and everything was done virtually, so that was also a win! If we’ll need any real estate legal services in the future, we will definitely contact realestatelawyers.ca again!

I wish I could give them a zero - a 1 star review is too generous. You cannot get anyone on the phone - noone calls you back. If you need advice good luck - you are on your own. They do not act like a true law firm. They give a discounted rate for reviews - do not believe the 5 star reviews. I would not recommend.

If I could, I'd rate them 0. Trying to get ahold of a lawyer for two months. Sent two different emails (second per receptionist's request) and called three times. Had reference numbers from their response emails, but they weren't interested in hearing them when they said they had no record of my emails. My third phone call,I got put on hold and then call "disconnected". Got answering machine when I called immediately back. I'm really confused. I could understand if I had been rude with her, but that was certainly not the case. I'm beginning to think this is some type of "racket". I give up.

Professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The team handled my real estate transaction efficiently and kept me informed throughout the process and Sarah Lionessa my property selling Lawyer, guided me when there was an issue in closing.

I was charged $1,199.99 with the promise that $200 would be refunded once I completed an online review. I submitted the review and provided proof, but despite multiple follow‑ups, I never received the refund. Communication has now stopped and it's almost a year later. Very disappointing experience.

The representative at Real Estate Lawyers.ca are truly amazing, very helpful, transparent, and the price is very reasonable.

Thank you Victor F, the r your patience 😊.

Realestatelawyers.ca handled there shed of my house flawlessly. I dealt with Mark Weisleder and his staff. They were courteous, professional, and all communications were excellent. The fact that this could be completed online was an indispensable asset since we were travelling on the day of closing. And the prices was great too.

Thanks to Mark and his team.

This is my second buy/ sale with the company. You will address Mark Weisleder, who is the boss. You will be assigned an associate who will lead you through the process. All questions will be promptly and accurately answered, problems and concerns immediately addressed and resolved. Both the associates l have dealt with are excellent, and Mr. Weisleder is on top of everything. The whole transaction is done on line, but the company manages to be human and approachable at all times.
They are also super efficient.
