Do you know how to access the dark web ? So when Monday’s blog, “Behind The Scenes Of A Toronto Offer Night” was a topic of conversation on Reddit, I had no choice but to read the discussion and subsequent comments. On Monday’s blog, a reader made the following comment: You know what? But Reddit?

I’m not gonna lie; I was thinking about today’s blog topic when I woke up this morning.

Sometimes, you’ll see “Please Include Probate Clause” on the listing. Other times, you’ll hear the listing agent say, “The property has already passed through probate, we can do any closing you want.” Be honest: what comes to mind when you hear the word estate ? That’s not good.

If we’re talking about city planning, especially when it comes to Toronto, is there anything worse – if you’re trying to come to a consensus, that is, than ending up in a grey area?
