Which real estate professionals does Payotte recommend in Greater Sudbury?

Question

Accepted Answer

In Greater Sudbury, Payotte selects one independent professional per trade, scored on public data — Google reviews, years of experience, an active or verifiable licence on the regulator's register, and a genuine local presence — with no ads, no commissions and no paid placement. Only one expert is named per profession, so the recommendation stays clear. As of June 2026, the MLS® Home Price Index benchmark price in Greater Sudbury was $514,800, up 0.9% year over year, while the average sale price was $509,204 (up 1.7%); 339 homes sold — the strongest June in five years — with 781 active listings and 2.3 months of inventory (Sudbury Real Estate Board / CREA). With sales at a five-year June high and about 2.3 months of inventory, Greater Sudbury currently leans toward sellers. In Ontario, a real estate lawyer — not a notary — closes the transaction, and home inspection is not a licensed trade, so verify an inspector's association membership (OAHI, CAHPI or InterNACHI) rather than a licence number. On closing, only Ontario's provincial Land Transfer Tax applies here — unlike the City of Toronto, there is no municipal land transfer tax — alongside legal fees and the inspection and appraisal you arrange. The right professional for each step protects a six-figure decision more than any single star rating. Current selections: real estate agent — Justin Cousineau; mortgage broker — Rico Johnston; home inspector — Cory Frith; real estate lawyer — Jacob Gauthier; appraiser — Calvin Colard.
