Testimonials

Extended family extends home

“The plan was to buy a house with our son and daughter-in-law. Lesli & Parimal made it possible! Very experienced agents with unique expertise in co-ownership, they are creative, positive people who were committed to finding us the home we wanted. Their encouragement and patience and their unwavering support set them apart and made all the difference.”

Breaking into the market

“Co-owning a home with a friend was honestly the only way I was able to get into the housing market. It made everything more affordable and way less intimidating. Lesli Gaynor provided a clear, thoughtful structure that helped us talk through the important stuff upfront and avoid awkward surprises later. It felt smart, fair, and totally doable—and I'm really glad we did it. It turned a great friendship into a smart financial step—plus we now have the security of having our own home.”

Buying my first home

“Working with Lesli and Parimal was a comfort and a gift. We are beyond happy with our house and home. We found, in this team, every support we needed, including many we couldn't have even imagine we would need. It is clear that they are not just sales representatives, but people working for community and connection, showing folks how their dreams possible and closer. I felt affirmed and supported as well as advised. We felt deeply aligned with obvious value of community and how that made their connections and recommendations feel like relationships we can trust. This has continued to enable us to move forward with confidence. (In fact we are going to reach back to one of their referrals to get some work done on our house in the spring!) And, our kiddo and I liked that there are always good snacks at the office.”

Friends build their Foundation

“Co-ownership initially felt vague and aspirational—full of possibility, but also questions and uncertainty. The Husmates team helped make it real and tangible, guiding us through every step with practical resources, thoughtful discussion prompts, connections to other folks familiar with co-ownership, and steady stewardship of the process. They laid out our options clearly and offered both practical guidance and emotional support along the way. As a result, we now co-own a home we love and, just as importantly, we built a strong, collective foundation as co-owners that has continued to serve us well in the years post-purchase.”

Welcome to our recap of the March 14 Husmates Conference!

In today's housing market, buying a Toronto home on your own might not be feasible. But what if you found the right people to do it with? We are thrilled to welcome new potential co-owners into our community who are exploring this unconventional possibility. As a growing trend, co-ownership not only slashes the cost of homeownership but also helps us build intentional communities.
