What people use home equity for

You may have heard Chip advertised on Zoomer Radio, or seen ads from Royal Home Improvements. Here are some of the most common reasons my clients tap into their home equity.

Renovate your basement

Finish, refresh, or open up the space downstairs for family or income.

Help the kids buy a home

Give your children or grandchildren a down payment so they can get ahead in today's competitive market.

Age safely in place

Make your home mobility-friendly (grab bars, walk-in showers, main-floor living).

Tackle needed repairs

Roof, furnace, windows. Take care of what your home needs, without stress.

Renovate before selling

Get your home ready to list so it shows well and sells for its full value.

Whatever matters to you

It's your money and your home. Use it however fits your life best.

Why choose me

My job is to educate you, so you feel confident, whether you end up working with me or with someone else. Understanding your options is the first step.

Your neighbour in Lakeshore Village

I'm not a call-centre voice. I'm David, a husband, a dad, a hockey coach, and a dog owner who has lived in Lakeshore Village for 29 years. When we chat, you're talking to a member of your community.

Years spent on the bench with young players and their families across the city.

29 years in Lakeshore Village

Same neighbourhood, same corner store, same rink. I know this community.

Been through it with family

Friends and family of mine have used equity products. I know the real questions to ask.

Family first

Married, with two grown kids (one is a chef, the other is a hockey coach) and two dogs who run the household.

What clients say

David took the time to explain everything twice. He even compared his plan to two competitors so I could decide for myself. No pressure at all.
Margaret S., Etobicoke
We wanted to help our daughter with a down payment. David walked us through the numbers over coffee. Felt like talking to a neighbour, because he is one.
Tom & Linda P., Mimico
I was nervous about tapping into my home's equity. David explained the alternatives honestly. I never once felt like I was being sold to.
