Proven, Not Promised.
152 Simcoe St N, Oshawa(905) 449-4422
I’ve been representing buyers and sellers across Durham Region since 2013. I built this business around the moments when selling a home is the hardest part of what you’re going through. Executors settling a parent’s estate. Couples downsizing after thirty years. Families moving on after a separation. Long-time owners who quietly know their home is dated and aren’t sure where to start.
Truth before transaction. Calm as a service. A coordinated team that handles prep, staging, marketing, negotiation and closing so none of it lands on your shoulders. And when the home needs work to sell well, the only pay-at-closing renovation program in Canada, so the money comes from the sale, not your savings.
If that sounds like the kind of agent you wish you’d had last time, that’s on purpose.

Built by combining systems-driven service with pre-sale renovation expertise, so clients consistently achieve stronger outcomes and the business runs on referrals and reputation, not volume.
Premium, full-service, listings-led residential real estate for inherited, estate, and dated-home sellers in Durham Region and the East GTA. For clients who value strong outcomes, clear guidance, and a coordinated team experience over the cheapest option.
Hinchey Homes is a husband-and-wife founded team built around Shawn in the lead seat and three career operators behind him. When you hire us you are not hiring one agent. Every part of the experience is owned by a specialist with a clearly defined role. Clean handoffs. One experience, not departments.
Owner & Lead Negotiator
Shawn personally handles every listing appointment, buyer consult, showing, and negotiation. Pricing strategy, offer strategy, and the conversations that decide outcomes belong to him. Past clients and referrals drive the majority of the business by design.
Co-Founder
Laura and Shawn built Hinchey Homes together. As the other half of the husband-and-wife team, she anchors the family story behind the brand and the values that show up in every client relationship, the community work, and the standard we hold ourselves to long after closing day.
Transaction & Client Care
Tara is the calm voice on the other end of the phone and the reason every Hinchey Homes deal closes the way it should. She runs every transaction from accepted offer to keys-in-hand, coordinating lawyers, lenders, inspectors, and the dozens of moving parts that decide whether a deal closes cleanly or unravels at the eleventh hour. If something is at risk, she sees it days before anyone else.
Operations Lead
Steph runs the calendar, the weekly cadence, and every piece of listing prep. She schedules the trades, coordinates the staging, manages Broker Bay, orders signs and feature sheets, and runs the entire Renos for Revenue program from staging consult through completion. If anything physical happens to one of our listings, Steph made it happen.
Marketing Lead
Jasmine builds and ships the marketing machine. Listing creative, video content, social media, listing websites, paid ads on Meta and Google for every new listing, feature sheet design, and source-tagged attribution. The reason your home gets seen 25,000+ times in the first two weeks is Jasmine.
Alberta Connection · Calgary & Southern Alberta
Mike is our trusted Alberta partner for Durham families relocating to the Calgary area and for clients looking at cash-flowing investment properties through the CMHC MLI Select program, one of the most powerful financing tools in Canadian real estate. When you need Alberta, we only give one name.
Our core values aren’t aspirational. They’re how we operate every day, how we hire, how we coach our team, and how we measure whether we did a good job.
We put the client's best interest ahead of the deal. We tell the truth clearly, give honest guidance, and never pressure people into decisions that are not right for them.
What this looks like operationally:
We make complex moves feel clear, organized, and manageable. Our job is to reduce stress through preparation, process, and leadership.
What this looks like operationally:
We respond quickly, explain things simply, and keep clients informed at every stage so they never have to wonder what is happening next.
What this looks like operationally:
We work as one coordinated team and take responsibility for every detail. Clients should feel fully supported from the first conversation to long after closing.
What this looks like operationally:
We do not rely on luck. We prepare, price, market, negotiate, and execute with intention so our clients get stronger outcomes with less stress.
What this looks like operationally:
Past clients and their referrals drove over nine in ten of every deal Shawn closed last year. That number is our scoreboard. It is also the reason we never have to chase business, and the reason we can afford to tell every client the truth, every time.

No expiry date
When we say past clients are not past, we mean it. If you have ever worked with Hinchey Homes and something comes up with your home, anything at all, we want you to call us. You do not need to be selling. You do not need to be buying. You do not need a reason.
A trusted plumber recommendation. A quick opinion on a renovation. A question about your property tax assessment. A neighbour who is thinking of selling and wants a honest second opinion. A contractor who is quoting you something that feels off. Call us. That is the relationship we want.
The 91.8% number above is not an accident. It is the result of years of being the agent people call first when anything home-related comes up. If you hire us once, we are yours for as long as you want us.

Their Opportunity is a national children’s charity headquartered right here in Oshawa, one block from our office. They exist to break down the financial barriers that keep kids out of organized sport and recreation. Every child they sponsor is asked to pay it forward in their own community within ninety days. It is the most beautiful idea in local philanthropy and we are proud to stand behind it.
We have partnered with Their Opportunity for years. Together we have helped put thousands of Durham kids into organized sport, and we contribute personally to the cause every year because we believe in what they do. If you want to help, the link below goes straight to them.
Founded by Randy Gill, 2007
Their Mission
To educate, uplift, and support children to overcome barriers through the strength of sport and generosity.
The Giveback
Every kid Their Opportunity sponsors is asked to give back in their own community within ninety days. The cycle keeps going.
Why It Matters Here
These are our neighbours. The kids on these teams grow up in the same Durham communities we sell homes in. The better our community, the better the lives we help build.
