About Grechi Carter Professional Corporation

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Grechi Carter Professional Corporation is a small real estate law firm based in Toronto, formed by founding partners Daniele Grechi and David Carter, and it's grown into a team of roughly nine lawyers working out of an office in the Bloor Islington Place complex, at Bloor Street West and Islington Avenue.

The firm concentrates on residential and commercial real estate transactions, private mortgage lending, and mortgage enforcement, and one of its associates also handles wills and estates work alongside real estate files. On the lending side, Grechi Carter acts for private mortgage lenders across Ontario and says it closes hundreds of private mortgages a year, having helped build lending portfolios ranging from as low as $10 million to well over $50 million. Its mortgage enforcement practice covers both contested and uncontested actions for borrowers and lenders, including power of sale files and construction lien disputes.

Founding partner David Carter also teaches real estate law, and several of the firm's other lawyers trained outside Canada before practising in Ontario, with law degrees from Australia and England among the team.

The neighbourhood

Grechi Carter's office sits in Bloor Islington Place, a Class A office complex at the corner of Bloor Street West and Islington Avenue in Toronto's west end. The complex has direct TTC subway access to Islington Station, with underground parking on site, which matters for a firm that regularly has clients and lenders coming in from across the GTA to sign closing documents. The building is LEED Gold certified and includes a retail concourse with banking, dining, and pharmacy services below the office floors.

The Bloor and Islington intersection is one of the busiest in the city's west end, and it puts the firm within easy reach of both the Etobicoke and central Toronto sides of its private mortgage and real estate practice without being tied to a single downtown core.
