It’s our privilege to reward those who serve our community—the Everyday Heroes among us.

We’re proud to support the people who support our communities. Our Everyday Hero Program offers a 25% discount in cashback on services for first responders, teachers, and anyone 60 or over, because your community contribution deserves recognition that goes beyond words.

"We were first-time buyers, and the thought of owning a home in the area we desired seemed unattainable, but Alex went above and beyond to make it happen. Being a first responder, we were able to take advantage of the Everyday Heroes Program, giving us an incredible housewarming surprise: over $4,000 cashback cheque on our closing day! We can’t thank the team enough!"

About The Program: Honouring Hometown Heroes

On May 1st, 2024, in honour of First Responder Day, we proudly launched our Everyday Heroes Program—a heartfelt initiative created to give back to the heroes who serve and protect our communities every single day.

To kick things off, we spent the month of May visiting 75 police stations, fire halls, and paramedic stations, delivering over 1,200 Crave Donuts as a small token of our appreciation.

A big thank you to Crave Donuts in Durham for partnering with us to spread some sweetness and gratitude across the region!

Why We Do It: Building Community & Saying Thanks

This program is deeply personal for me. I have close friends who are police officers, firefighters, and teachers, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with many older adults and elderly clients.

Seeing the challenges they often face when it comes to relocating or affording real estate solutions inspired me to do more—to create a program that truly supports their needs.

The Everyday Heroes Program is our way of saying thank you—offering exclusive real estate perks and tailored support for first responders, educators, and older adults. Because giving back to those who give so much is what this initiative is all about.

How It Works: Easily Get Qualified

It’s simple. There are several ways you can qualify for the program. If you are one of the following community members, you can access our special 25% cashback program, as a thank you for everything you do for our communities!

  • Educators: Teacher, ECE, or school staff member.
  • Older Adults: 60+ looking to buy or sell.
  • First Responders: Police officer, firefighter, or paramedic.

Neighbour In Need

A single parent or someone experiencing hardship.

We’ll reimburse 25% of our rate as cashback to help make your real estate journey a little easier, because we think you deserve it. That’s it!

If you want to apply the cash back to your deposit before we close on a home, we can do that. We’ve found that this option helps many people streamline their purchase process.

“I saw how well the team handled my friend’s sale, so I hired them and it proved successful. Alex is very well organized, punctual and attentive to details. He is awesomely talented and made my house picture perfect. The result was stunning and my house sold in a few days! Astounding work.”
