Four provinces

Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and Nova Scotia.

We place families where we can actually service the deal for the next three to five years — which means a real property market, financeable homes, and staff who know the local process.

The service area.

Four provinces, forty-five cities. Hover a province to see the cities inside it — or a marker to name the city.

Region by region.

If your city is not listed, it is worth asking. The constraint is the property and the local market, not an arbitrary boundary.

What we look for in the home itself.

Good repair

It has to pass a home inspection and be insurable. Deferred maintenance becomes somebody's problem during the term — usually yours.

Not too rural

A property a lender is reluctant to finance at the end of the term is a property that traps you, however cheap it looks today.

Inside the approved budget

You choose the actual house. We set the ceiling from your income, not from what a realtor thinks you can stretch to.

If a lender said no, that isn't the end of the conversation.

Applying costs nothing, takes about twelve minutes, and ends with a straight answer about what is realistic for your household.
