Why 92/100, and not 100?
The points below are not taken away from Victor Hussein: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- Local presence in Kitchener not confirmed. No public source proves how many files were closed in this specific sector — only the professional holds that figure.
Is this profile about you?
Your score is public, criterion by criterion. Up to 3 points are out of reach — not because you don't deserve them, but because no public source lets us verify them. From you, we need:
- up to 3 pts — your presence in Kitchener: files closed there over the past twelve months, and the address of the office that serves it
We verify, we date it, we publish. It is free, and it buys no ranking — only an accurate profile.

What does it cost in Kitchener?
On Kitchener's reference price ($628,300), land transfer tax comes to roughly $9,041.
Computed bracket by bracket on the official schedule, like income tax — it is NOT "top rate × price". It is paid in cash at closing and cannot be financed in the mortgage. On top of that come the professional's own fees: 1 000–2 000 $ in Ontario, plus title insurance (200–400 $).
Before any first-time buyer rebate, and excluding special cases (non-residents, transfers between relatives). The fees quoted are market ranges — no province publishes a schedule for them. The official calculation belongs to the professional closing the deal.
Sources & verification
