Ontario has a multi-tiered land transfer tax that is payable by the Buyer on every purchase. By “Multi-tiered” we mean it’s not a straight percentage calculation, a breakdown is as follows:
From 0 – $55,000 of property value: 0.5%
Value exceeding $55,000 to $250,000: $1%
Value exceeding $250,000 to $400,000: $1.5%
Value exceeding $400,000 to $2,000,000: 2%
Amounts exceeding $2,000,000 when land has a one/two single family residence: 2.5%
If you are purchasing a property in Toronto, there is also a Municipal Land Transfer Tax, payable by the Buyer on every Purchase.
From 0 – $55,000 of property value: 0.5%
Value exceeding $55,000 to $250,000: $1%
Value exceeding $250,000 to $400,000: $1.5%
Value exceeding $400,000 to $2,000,000: 2%
Amounts exceeding $2,000,000: 2.5%
Use the tool below to calculate your Land Transfer Tax. Don’t forget to tick the boxes indicating if you’re a first time Buyer (savings!! There is a Land Transfer Tax Refund Program for First Time Buyers, but you can’t have owned property anywhere in the WORLD), or if you’re buying in the City of Toronto (budget for the second tax!).
Here Is What Others Say About Us

My husband and I recently bought a property and sold our present house using Walker Parker Real Estate. We couldn’t be happier with Adrianne and Cathy. They have taken the time for a number of months to show us different properties. It is obvious they have a tremendous understanding of the real estate market and helped to guide us through all the intricacies of buying and selling. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Walker Parker Real Estate to anyone in the market for a new home.

Working with Adrianne has been absolutely wonderful. Being first time home buyers, we were quite nervous and had no idea where to start. Adrianne was extremely patient and took the time to walk us through the process. We were unsure of what we wanted, so she started off by taking us to see a variety of properties in different neighbourhoods.
We never felt pressured to make any decisions. Adrianne walked us through every property with an extreme attention to detail. She spent time educating us on different types of homes and things to look out for.
When we found something we liked, Adrianne moved fast. She took away all my worries and was there every step of the way to answer any questions, big or small. Adrianne has just been so easy to work with and we couldn’t have done it without her!

We’ve lived in our house for 4 months short of 30 years. Needless to say we were not experienced at the whole moving thing. We had dealt with Johanna having purchased 2 houses previously. She introduced us to her lovely Daughter Adrianne and what an experience this has been.
We were downsizing and Adrianne literally held our hands the entire time. From explaining things once, twice, and three times, to staging our home for sale, to calling us on vacation when our house sold in a few days . She has gone over and above anything we would ever expect from an agent. We bought our new condo from her as well, which was a whole new experience.
Adrianne is down to earth, easy to talk to, easy to shed a few tears with, and such a calm reassuring person. This team is the best. I am so glad we stayed with Johanna because we got to meet Adrianne.

Amazing experience! Buying our first home was not too stressful because of the help from Cathy and Adrianne. Detail oriented, professional and personable are just some of the words that come to mind about this team. They truly go above and beyond to ensure all your needs and wants in a home are met.

Adrianne and Johanna walked us through the entire process. It was seamless and stress free. House sold in 5 days for over asking. They know exactly what they are doing. I definitely recommend Walker Parker

In 2009, my parents worked with the Parkers on the sale of their Markham home and the purchase of their home in Swan Lake. In 2021, my mother and I worked with the Parkers on the sale of my mother’s home in Swan Lake. The Parkers are specialists in working with seniors and that is a big benefit to clients and their families. From start to finish, the Parkers provided services that made the sale of my mother’s home a great success!

Thank you Cathy & Adrianne for your assistance in selling our mother’s condo. Your advice, service and assistance made the experience much easier. I would highly recommend others looking for assistance in a real estate transaction contact you.

Moving an 87 widow (in the midst of COVID) who has been in their home for 33 years is a very daunting task. Enter Cathy Walker (and her partner Adrianne) who made the selling process smooth with an awesome outcome. Cathy’s patience and professionalism are unparalleled. From the initial recommendations she made to declutter and stage the condo to the managing of the multiple offers, my mom felt confident & comfortable that Cathy had her best intentions in mind. We couldn’t have done it without her!

This real estate team is amazing. Many years ago they helped us purchase a home and recently helped us sell our parents home. Each time they have given us solid advice and helped us get the house in prime shape ready for sale. I will certainly use their services in our next move. Thanks ladies.

Adrianne and the team have always provided exceptional service in a proactive manner. I trust and rely on their expertise and appreciate their conscientiousness. I have bought and sold multiple times with Walker Parker and would not go anywhere else! Highly recommend.

I have used Cathy Walker to sell two homes and to buy two homes. I would not consider using another agent. From listing to staging to selling to handholding through the buying process Cathy and her team are the best . Cathy builds a relationship with her clients and stays in touch even during the times you are not selling or purchasing. She is definitely the best!!!

I have sold 3 condos with Walker Parker Real Estate at Re/Max All-Stars Realty Inc. over the past 10 years. Received excellent support through the entire process on these sales. A family member also sold their house with this same agency for well over asking on same day of listing – this was 5 years ago when market was not as active as currently seen during the past year. I would highly recommend Walker Parker Real Estate at Re/Max All-Stars Realty Inc.

Adrianne and team are amazing! They helped us sell and buy our home and went above and beyond in their service (from responsiveness to availability to helping arrange staging). They offered great sound advice, exactly what we needed. We are so pleased and would recommend both Adrianne and Cathy to anyone looking to buy or sell!

We had the great pleasure of using the services of Walker Parker Real Estate to help us sell my mother’s home in June. It was was more complex than usual given the pandemic + it was an estate sale and we were located 2 hours away. The help that we received throughout the process re: the mkt assessment, to staging, contractor referrals, listing, and completion of the sale was amazing. We could not have done it without their help. Highly Highly Recommend Them!

In 2017, Adrianne helped me purchase a condo for my son. She was the first agent to really listen to me regarding my budget and the type of place I was looking for. She had a great knowledge of the surrounding area and knew exactly what we were looking for. It took me almost 3 months to find the condo, she was very patient and understanding.
When it came to listing my house this year, I had no hesitation in asking Adrianne to be my agent. I would recommend Adrianne and her team to anyone who wants a team that is honest, takes you seriously and gets exactly what you are looking for rather than quickly getting the job done for a commission. Thank you for all your help.- Kavita Pushpaseelan

Adrianne and Cathy spent a considerable amount of time showing us potential properties until we found our perfect new home. They also took great pains to keep us up to date on the steps they took to make sure all the paper work and other details were taken care of for both our purchase and sale. Above all that they were both extremely personable and a pleasure to work with. Five star recommendation

Working with Walker Parker Real Estate was a pleasure. Adrianne and Cathy brought me a well-thought-out, transparent process to bring out the value in a 63-year-old, single-owner home. We strategized together and they executed the plan perfectly; on time, on budget and with no surprises. They brought the right buyers to the house in impressive numbers and their process brought the house its true market value. Well executed, well done!

Cathy and Adrianne are a real estate team that synergistically work together to support their clients. Their combined knowledge, experience and high level of service coupled with their friendly and thoughtful approach to working with their clients make them a dream team to work with. We sold our mother’s condo in Markham quickly, above asking price, and we’re guided through the whole process. No stress. If you’re looking for a Realtor, I highly recommend the Walker Parker team with ReMax!

We had a great experience working with Cathy and Adrianne. They were so helpful with every step of the process for us first time home buyers. Cathy and Adrianne were great to communicate with, available to go see lots of places with us and offered lots of their great advice.

Johanna, Adrianne and Cathy are an outstanding team of real estate professionals. We had the pleasure of working with them once again this past spring when we bought and sold our home. Not only did they help us purchase a new home off-market in our dream location, but they sold our old home over ask after only one day listed. With their combined experience and in-depth knowledge of the market, we felt confident in our decisions during the process. The marketing materials created and home staging were so beautifully done. It all came together seamlessly with every detail looked after and we appreciated their responsiveness to all of our questions and concerns. Thank you Team Walker Parker!

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Adrianne. After my divorce, I was told by a friend about Adrianne and how excellent she was as a real estate agent. This was the first time I would be doing any real estate transaction on my own so it was important to me to have someone who I could trust and who would look after my interests. Adrianne came over to my home and paid close attention to what I said I was looking for, and always showed me listings that hit the mark. After finding a building I fell in love with that had no units for sale at my price point, she helped secure a lease for a condo in the same building while I waited for one to become available. When my landlord notified me that they were selling and already had a buyer, she intervened and ended up getting the owner to sell it to me, which was a huge relief. A year later I ended up moving out of the country, at which point Adrianne sold my condo. So I can confidently say that as a buyer AND as a seller, Adrianne went WAY above and beyond for me. In addition to her skill as an agent, Adrianne is an incredibly positive, energetic, and friendly person. She was an absolute joy to work with and I was sad to say goodbye to her. I would highly recommend her to anyone, no questions asked.

We used Adrianne Parker as our realtor in the sale of our home recently and were extremely satisfied with her. Adrianne went far above and beyond in all stages of the selling process. Not only was she very professional and confident in all aspects of the real estate transactions, she provided ongoing support with our design questions and even personally shopped for many items for the home, including mirrors, curtains and lights. As a result, I would highly recommend her as a realtor and would not hesitate to hire her again!

This team is the best!! We recently finished purchasing a home in TO and were so impressed with Adrianne and Johanna as they exceeded our exceptions in every way. Let me explain further… We met their team at an open house while casually looking at homes in an area where they had several listings. They were so outgoing and nice but also very knowledgeable and honest about their assessment of market, homes in the area and how we might meet our objective to find the home we were looking for. We spent over 2 years with them looking at many different homes and areas and they never once got tired of showing us new homes and areas. When it came time to make an offer to purchase on the “one” and complete our purchase.. this is where they truly shined. Adrianne led the charge for us in this regard and developed a solid offer strategy that worked (we got our price) even though our house of choice as off market. Then once our offer was accepted their team really kicked in to help us close the sale and identified a mortgage broker, lawyer, house inspector and more. They even read all the condo documents and suggested areas we need to review more thoroughly. But this we not all. We are looking to retire to this home in a couple of years and so Adrianne got the house rented and did all the tenant due diligence before the transaction closed. This a a super real estate team and you cannot go wrong working with them. You will have a wonderful experience. I promise – we did.

The Parker team helped my mom sell her home of 20+ years and helped her find a new home after my father passed away. Adrianne and Johanna not only know the real estate market and their specialty areas, they took the time to get to know my mom and myself, anticipate our questions, were detailed in informing us of every detail, were very responsive, have a great network of professionals to refer us to help us with our transactions and are both very kind and generous all along the way. My family is so deeply grateful to Adrianne and Johanna. You would be lucky to have them help you with any of your real estate needs.

Adrianne and Johanna were fabulous to work with.
They were not our agents but our partners in the sale of our Markham property. They developed some great strategies to sell our home and always included our thoughts in the plans. They were always conscious of our costs and needs and approached every issue with candour and good humour.
The end result of Adrianne and Johanna’s effort was our home sold in two days, in a slow market, at a price over-asking.- Brian Butler
-
At all stages of the process, we felt comfortable speaking honestly and respected and appreciated Johanna & Adrianne’s professionalism. It was clear that they had our best interests in mind – an enormous comfort when the financial (and emotional!) stakes are high.
Johanna and Adrianne went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find a temporary home before our new house was ready. They are a strong and classy team and we will think of them in the future when friends & family are in need of agents.

We recently sold our home and were extremely pleased with the real estate services Adrianne and Johanna provided. Adrianne was very professional, and continuously demonstrated in depth knowledge of the real estate market. We found her to be kind and understanding and always responded quickly to all of our questions and concerns. Adrianne paid careful attention to all the details during the entire process. Our thanks to the Parker Team!

“Adrianne had made buying our first home such a pleasant experience that we didn’t think twice when it came time to sell our house and find a new one. Over a seven month period of searching, she worked hard for us and maintained a professional and positive attitude, even when we changed our minds about what we wanted. More than just marketing our house and doing research on the area, she got to know the people on our street so well that she was able to identify the best potential buyers at our open houses, based on how their goals and personalities matched up with our neighbourhood. From her advice on how to stage our home, to baking cookies, to charming the visitors with her natural enthusiasm, Adrianne got us well over our asking price in just 2 weeks.
We then needed to get a house within a month. Because she had spent so many months working with us, she recognized the perfect house the moment she saw it, before it was publicly listed. On the offer night, there were 8 ‘bidders’, and her down-to-earth and warm personality helped make our bid the winning one, despite the fact that our offer was almost identical to another.
Adrianne displays excellent judgment, knowledge and negotiating skills. But what sets her apart from other agents is her passion, her intuition and her true focus. Her goal is simply to find the right solution for her clients. Adrianne will always be successful, because she does what she loves, and she does it for the right reasons. Working with her made us successful, too!”- Paul & Melanie Shuebrook

Adrianne provided my family with very professional, friendly representation. She made excellent recommendations to get full value for my parents’ home and provided the names of professional contractors. Adrianne also negotiated efficiently on our behalf. I would definitely recommend the Parker team. Thank you!

We couldn’t be happier with Adrianne and Johanna’s efforts in selling our home. Their professionalism, understanding, and warmth made the selling process easy and resulted in great satisfaction with the purchase of our new home.

Adrianne is an amazing real estate professional and she works so hard to make every detail count. This was our first home sale – so everything was new to us – but Adrianne took all the guesswork out. She walked us through every step, answered all our endless questions, and ended up selling our home in 36 hours for exactly the price we wanted. I would highly recommend Adrianne – she is top notch!

We have been dealing with Johanna and Adrianne Parker for a few years to handle our real estate transactions in purchasing, selling and renting our properties and have been very pleased with the services they provide. Not only are they professionals in their field but they are conscientious, efficient, trustworthy and ethical agents.
Johanna and Adrianne have provided us with consistently high quality service and followed up on our queries in a timely and efficient manner. They are always there for you, working on your behalf.They seek to understand their client’s requirements and work hard to achieve the best results. Last spring they marketed our home and we were delighted with the final outcome. There were multiple offers which turned out to be better than the asking price and our home sold in 2 days.
We highly recommend Johanna and Adrianne and certainly plan to continue doing business with them.”

What really stood out about Adrianne is her passion for her work and her love of people. From the first time you meet her, you know she is extremely competent and she is dedicated to guide you through this stressful process to achieve optimal results.

These two are the textbook example of how to be the very best Real Agents. Oh my gosh; friendly, kind, delightful, sooo knowledgeable, sooo capable, “on-it”.
They took care of every imaginable detail. They where proactive on issues and just guided us through the best transaction ever.
My mother sold her property for the highest price in the history of Swan Lake, Markham! It was done fast & painlessly…
I can’t tell you how outstanding they both were.

Adrianne goes above and beyond as an agent. She assisted me with the purchase of my first condo in the insane Toronto market. She is smart, knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my needs and worked hard to find me the perfect space. She is thoughtful, considerate and well organized. She spent an incredible amount of time with me and my personal search. And although she has countless clients who trust in her to do the same for them, made me feel that my search was truly important to her as if I were her only client. She took the stress out of buying a home and made the whole process fun.
Buying your first place can be overwhelming, but with the guidance of a true professional (like Adrianne) who knows the market inside-and-out, anything is possible.

What a daunting thought to actually try and find a Real Estate person in a large city with whom one might be able to find empathy during the trial(s) of making the necessary decisions which include
the re-shaping of the existing space that one has lived in for over 23 years!Through a mutual friend who promised that this gal (Adrianne) would never be ‘pushy’ or ‘in your face’ or ‘misleading’ I finally made the phone call outlining what I could NOT have…and what our needs actually were.
I am beyond impressed with Adrienne’s flair for “knowing” her clients so intimately by just listening and a careful and non-invasive walk-through the space to be sold. Her great smile put me at ease instantly when I opened the door to the stranger who was going to be responsible for the next step(s) in our lives. We were moving to the country and that meant many good-byes….
Her genuine smile, her presence that exuded confidence and calm throughout the necessary negotiations that oft times became quite “tense” right down to the final signatures on the SOLD documents that concluded the financial aspect of our relationship has permitted me to never hesitate to support and promote contacting Adrianne and her team of extremely attentive professionals
in any of their Real Estate needs.SHE is a STAR for us … We are grateful to have traveled that path with Adrianne Parker and Re/Max All-Stars.
sincerely,

The Parker Team was AWESOME. Johanna and Adrianne were awesome every step of the way. They laid out a plan to sell our home and executed it flawlessly. Our house sold with in days of the MLS listing and for very close to asking because the Parker Team employ proactive marketing to find buyers.
