Simplyclose is a real estate law firm serving Tecumseh, Ontario from our office at 625 Erie Street East in Windsor — about a 15-minute drive from most of Tecumseh. We handle residential purchases, sales, refinances, title transfers, new build closings, condominium closings, and Independent Legal Advice for Tecumseh clients. Sign in person at our Windsor office or fully remotely through electronic signing. Every quote is all-in and provided in writing before any work begins.
Tecumseh is one of the busiest real estate markets in Windsor-Essex and our weekly file load reflects it. The Manning Road corridor and the streets north of Riverside Drive are a strong mix of established detached homes (often on larger lots than comparable Windsor properties) and steady infill and rebuild activity. Lakewood Park and the streets around Lakeview Park Marina are premium waterfront-adjacent territory, where lot configurations, riparian rights, and the occasional unregistered easement need careful title work — we requisition early and aggressively in these areas. The County Road 19 and County Road 22 corridors have been Tecumseh's primary new-construction growth zone, with several active builders working through subdivision phases; we know the typical agreement language, interim-occupancy structure, and HST treatment for each.
Tecumseh transactions register through the Essex County Land Registry Office (LRO #12), the same office that handles Windsor, LaSalle, and the rest of the county. Land Transfer Tax follows the standard Ontario provincial sliding scale, with no separate municipal tax on top. The Ontario First-Time Home Buyer rebate (up to $4,000) applies to qualifying buyers and we apply it directly to closing without you needing to file anything separate.
Most of our Tecumseh clients close fully remotely — it's the fastest path from accepted offer to keys, with ID verified by video and every document signed electronically. If you'd rather come in to sign, 625 Erie Street East is a short drive west on Riverside Drive or Tecumseh Road, open weekdays 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

FAQ
Common questions about closings in Tecumseh
If you have a question not answered here, call or email hello@simplyclose.ca.
How far is the Simplyclose office from Tecumseh?
Our office at 625 Erie Street East in Windsor is roughly 10 to 20 minutes from Tecumseh, depending on whether you're coming from the Manning Road corridor, Lakewood Park, or the County Road 22 area. Tecumseh clients who want to sign in person can typically handle the appointment in under an hour. Most still choose remote signing because of the time savings.
Do you close Tecumseh new construction transactions?
Yes. New construction along the County Road 19 and County Road 22 corridors is a significant share of our Tecumseh file load. We review the builder's APS for amendments worth pushing back on, confirm HST rebate eligibility (a big number for first-time owner-occupied buyers), coordinate any interim occupancy closing, and handle the final closing on registration day.
What does a real estate lawyer cost in Tecumseh?
Standard Tecumseh residential purchases and sales are quoted all-in at roughly $1,000 to $1,500 plus HST and government charges. The written quote you receive before any work begins includes legal fees, title search, registration, title insurance arrangement, and standard disbursements. Provincial Land Transfer Tax is calculated separately based on your purchase price.
Do you handle waterfront and lakefront Tecumseh properties?
Yes. Lakewood Park, the streets around Lakeview Park Marina, and other Tecumseh waterfront-adjacent properties need careful title work — riparian rights, lot frontage measurements, shoreline encroachments, and the occasional unregistered easement all come up more often than in standard subdivisions. We requisition aggressively on these files and surface anything material in writing before closing.
Where does my Tecumseh closing register?
Title registers electronically through Teraview at the Essex County Land Registry Office (LRO #12), the same office that handles Windsor, LaSalle, and the entire county. Closing day, we register the transfer (and the new mortgage on a purchase) electronically, funds flow through trust, the keys release, and you get a closing report with every document filed.
Do I need a real estate lawyer to buy or sell a home in Tecumseh?
Yes. In Ontario, a lawyer is required to complete any real estate transaction. Title registration, mortgage instructions, and the transfer of funds all require a licensed lawyer. There is no legal way to close a property in Ontario without one.
Can I use a real estate lawyer in Tecumseh remotely?
Yes. simplyclose operates fully remotely across Ontario. Document signing is handled digitally, and your lawyer is reachable by phone or email throughout your file. Most clients never come into an office.
When should I contact a real estate lawyer after accepting an offer in Tecumseh?
The same day. Your Agreement of Purchase and Sale sets deadlines for conditions, requisitions, and closing, and the legal clock starts running immediately. Waiting costs you time you may not be able to get back.
What does a real estate lawyer actually do at closing?
In the days before closing, we receive your mortgage instructions, conduct the final title search, review the statement of adjustments, and confirm the funds required to close. On closing day, we register the transfer and mortgage electronically, receive and distribute the funds, and confirm the deal is done. You get a message when it's complete.
