Daily Estate
About Us
A local publication about Ontario property and estates, starting in Durham Region and the GTA, written to be useful and checked before it runs.
“Estate” means two things, and we cover both: your real estate, and the estate you inherit, settle or leave. They meet more often than people expect: selling a parent’s house, downsizing, becoming an executor. Most coverage treats them separately. We don’t.
What we cover
- Real Estate: what homes are selling for, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, and how buying and selling actually work in Ontario.
- Estates: executors, probate, wills and inheritance, explained plainly, with the official sources linked.
- Downsizing: right-sizing, moving, clearing out a family home, and choosing what comes next.
Our standards
Every number and every rule in our stories links to a source you can check: a government body, a court or regulator, a land registry or market report, or a professional association. You'll find them at the end of each story. We don't invent quotes, experts, sales or statistics.
We use AI tools to help research and draft stories. A human editor checks every story against our sources and our style guide before it's published, and is responsible for what appears under our name.
Stories carry the byline of a section desk. When a lawyer, realtor, planner or other professional contributes, we name them, say what they do and link to them.
Who we are, and how we make money
Daily Estate is published by Daily Estate Media, which also offers marketing and visibility services to real estate professionals. Coverage, rankings and profiles follow our published methods and are not for sale.
That means some of the professionals we write about may also be clients of Daily Estate Media, now or later. When a story or ranking mentions a client, we say so in that story. Our rankings follow a published method, and nobody can pay to change where they appear.
Our stories are general information about Ontario. They aren't legal, tax, financial or real estate advice, and when something needs a professional, we say so.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and add a dated note at the end of the story. Tell us at hello@dailyestate.ca.
