Calvin is a Municipality of 557 residents in the Nipissing District, and its real estate files close through the same flat fee and fully online process we use across Ontario, with the price quoted in writing before your file opens.
Our charges include HST. Disbursements and, on a purchase, Land Transfer Tax are extra and billed at cost — itemized upfront, in writing, never hidden.
Prices are “our charges” and include HST. Disbursements and Land Transfer Tax are extra, at cost, estimated in writing before you commit.
Every figure is from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census of Population — real published data, current until the 2026 Census releases (2027).

The Calvin-specific mechanics we handle on every file — so nothing surprises you at closing.
Calvin registers through the Nipissing Land Registry Office (LRO #36); filings are submitted electronically, and document review, signing, and closing on your file proceed by phone, email, and e-signature.
You don’t “set up” property tax — we prorate it. The statement of adjustments credits whoever prepaid; after closing, the municipality bills you directly and you can enrol in pre-authorized payments.
ID verification, document review, and signing happen online — no office visit needed. In-person signings remain available across the province if you prefer.
Buyers closing in Calvin pay Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only; the municipal land transfer tax that Toronto charges doesn't extend here. Our flat purchase fee is $1,354.87, HST included, with land transfer tax and disbursements itemized and billed separately at cost. Calvin recorded 263 private dwellings in the 2021 census, 227 of them occupied by usual residents. Retaining us on a Calvin file means the full slate of work — title search, requisitions, mortgage instructions, closing — at the fee agreed to at the start, nothing added on later.
Financing, inspection, status certificate — your offer’s conditions are legal protections, and waiving them is a legal decision. We review before you sign and flag the risks in plain language.
Buying pre-construction or an assignment carries its own tax and disclosure rules — ask us before you commit so nothing catches you at closing.
Selling in Calvin, we handle the discharge of your mortgage, respond to the buyer's requisitions, and release your net proceeds once closing funds and registration are confirmed. The flat selling fee is $1,241.87, HST included; disbursements are billed separately at cost. Land transfer tax belongs to the buyer, so it doesn't touch your statement.
Sellers don’t pay LTT. Your closing costs are the legal fee, discharge-related disbursements, and any mortgage payout penalties your lender sets.
We obtain your mortgage discharge statement, answer the buyer’s requisitions, and prorate taxes and utilities on the statement of adjustments.
Funds are wired the day of closing where possible. Selling a condo? We coordinate the status certificate the buyer’s lawyer will request.
Our Mortgage service handles new purchase mortgages, refinances, and private mortgage registrations against Calvin property, all under a flat fee of $1,241.87, HST included. We review the commitment letter, register the charge, and confirm lender conditions are cleared before funds are released — one fee, regardless of mortgage type.
A new charge on a home you already own. We handle the lender’s requirements and register it — one flat fee.
Switching lenders or borrowing more? We manage the payout and discharge of your old mortgage and register the new one.
Borrowing from or lending to a private party. We paper it properly, register the charge, and protect your interests.
