How the Rent-To-Own Program Works


Professional Advice
You will be guided through the entire process by a team of real estate professionals. Our pre-approval process gives you the confidence to know what you can safely afford and how you should be able to purchase a home within 1 to 3 years.

You Pick the Home You Want
We let you choose from almost any home available for sale once you have been pre-qualified. It may be MLS or a private sale. There are normal negotiations, a home inspection and an appraisal. Once you approve this, you pay your non-refundable deposit towards your home. A rental agreement and option to purchase is signed and we buy the home. You move in.

Build Equity While You Rent
Our program helps you build equity for the future down payment on a monthly basis. The future down payment will be in place. We will continually review credit and plans over the term to ensure you are on track to purchase at the end of the agreement.

Guaranteed Purchase Price
Your purchase price is set up front and guaranteed over the course of your lease.

The future purchase price results from a small increase per year; any additional gains in the value of the property are yours to keep when you complete the purchase. Our annual increase is well below the 30 year Okanagan average.  We appreciate your home only 5% on cost. See the example below:
