Consultation, repairs, staging, photography, video, marketing, negotiation, and closing, handled by specialists who own every detail. No chaos. No surprises. No handoffs.
Our process
Truth First
Honest pricing. Candid feedback.
We put your best interest ahead of the deal, every time. Same-day replies. Proactive updates. Plain English. The willingness to say “not yet” if that’s the right answer.
What we believe
The people most
agents
overlook.
Hinchey Homes was built for the moments when selling a home is the hardest part of what you are going through. Estate executors. Downsizers. Separating couples. Long-time owners who quietly know their home is dated and are not sure where to start. These are the clients we built our business around.
If one of these sounds like you, keep reading. This was built for you.
For Executors
You inherited a home, and now you're the one figuring it out.
An empty house. Original kitchen. Siblings watching. A lawyer asking what you want to do. Selling as-is leaves money on the table, but you can't fund or manage a renovation while grieving and settling an estate. We can.
For Downsizers
Thirty good years here. You're ready for what's next.
You raised a family in this house. You know it needs work to sell well, but you're not about to live through a renovation or chase contractors on a fixed income. We move in after you move out, transform the home, and hand the keys to the next family.
For Separating Couples
You need the sale of this home to make the next chapter possible.
This is one of the hardest seasons life hands anyone. The house is full of memories, and you have to sell it anyway. We know the weight of that, and we treat it with the care it deserves. Renos for Revenue means neither of you has to put another dollar in, neither of you is managing contractors, and both of you walk away with the most the home could possibly offer toward whatever comes next. We handle the property so you can focus on your family and yourselves.
For Long-Time Owners
You know it's dated. You're just not sure where to start.
You've owned the home for fifteen, twenty, thirty years. You suspect you'd be leaving real money on the table if you listed it as-is. Let us walk through it for free and tell you the truth, and if it's worth doing, we'll handle the renovation at zero upfront cost.
“The manner in which Hinchey Homes prepared and presented our home made us remember why we fell in love with our house when we bought it, and had us almost second-guessing our decision to sell.”

We grew up here.
We sell here too.
Twelve communities, one team that has lived and worked across every one of them since 2013. We know which streets flood in a spring storm and which ones don’t. We know which builders cut corners in the early 2000s and which ones over-built. We know the schools that are honest about their ratings and the ones that aren’t. We know the pockets that are still undervalued, the off-market deals that never hit MLS, and the quiet streets locals trade for.
That kind of knowledge isn’t something you pick up from a listing feed. It’s thirteen years of walking these neighbourhoods with sellers, buyers, and the people who live here. Pick a community to dig in.
What homes are actually selling for.
