Cobourg Builders are pleased to welcome SMM Law
HBAC's newest Member!
SMM Law Professional Corporation is known for its care and attention to new home buyers, and first time home buyers. The purchase of a home can be complicated; all the words written in the fine print of the purchase agreement are actually there for a reason. It's helpful to know how the agreement works, what is expected of you as the buyer, and what the agreement entitles you to expect from the builder of your new home.
Buying a new home can be a pleasant and exciting process, if you choose a builder whose plans and existing homes you like, and if you understand what the builder is agreeing to build for you. Even unexpected delays or necessary changes to elevation, design, or materials, are manageable when you are aware from the beginning that these things sometimes happen.
At SMM Law, we are committed to helping you understand and manage your legal needs. We offer expert assistance in the creation of wills and powers of attorney to allow you to provide direction to your family in case of serious illness, injury or death. Our law firm also provides corporate and commercial services, land development services, estate administration, court representation, and employment, pension, and family law services.

HBAC’s newest Member!
Taylor / Rohrich Associates Inc. is a full service marketing and advertising firm that specializes in the mature market. Our clients have accounted for the majority of sales among retirement communities in Ontario.
Our success is due to our deep understanding of this market and the factors that influence their purchasing decisions. Taylor/Rohrich Inc. pioneered the concept of differentiation, which positions adult communities according to their strongest attributes enabling builders to generate pre-qualified and pre-disposed traffic. Proper differentiation assures a community’s success over the long term.
Taylor/Rohrich Associates was among the first to recognize that the mature market is subdivided into four distinct cohorts, each of which has its own world view, affecting their decision-making process.
Our philosophy is predicated on the belief that if our clients are successful, then we are successful. Consequently, our clients are serviced by our most senior personnel.
We have won numerous awards for creative excellence, including Awards of Excellence through the CHBA and OHBA.
