Set Up a Partner MeetingOne call.
One partner.
Problem solved.
When a Durham Region home is sold as part of an estate, the professionals closest to the transaction, estate lawyers, trust officers, senior living facilities, financial advisors, are usually the first call once a dated home enters the estate.
Most of the time, there is no obvious answer. Sell as-is to an investor at a deep discount, or ask the family to fund and manage a renovation they cannot realistically execute while grieving. Neither option serves your client well, and neither option reflects well on the trusted advisor who recommended it.
Hinchey Homes can coordinate eligible preparation and the sale. We document the scope, costs and sale process so your client can compare the options. You stay focused on the legal, fiduciary, and care-transition work that is yours.
We also publish the free twelve-page Ontario Executor’s Guide and the complete Ontario guide to selling an inherited home, written for the exact questions your clients bring you. Many partners hand them to families as a first answer.
Estate Lawyers
We coordinate property preparation and provide a written renovation scope for the estate trustee and their advisers to review.
What You Get
Co-branded Executor's Guide + invitation to our quarterly estate-planning seminar circuit.
Trust Company Officers
RBC, BMO, TD, CIBC, Scotia. When your estate accounts include real property, the home becomes the most time-consuming and highest-variance line item. Higher estate values increase your trust fee; lower values do the opposite. We become your single point of contact for the property, so you never have to coordinate contractors, stagers, or showing schedules. Your numbers go up, your workload goes down.
What You Get
Preferred vendor agreement for estate property sales across Durham Region.
Senior Living Facilities
Chartwell, Revera, Sienna, and local independent operators. Your incoming residents frequently need to sell a long-tenured family home to fund their care, but nobody on your admissions team is a real estate advisor. We step in as the neutral, professional partner who handles the entire sale from assessment through closing, so your resident arrives settled instead of stressed, and the sale proceeds are ready when care costs begin.
What You Get
Co-branded Home-to-Residence Transition Guide + reciprocal referrals for your care services.
Financial Advisors & Accountants
Your clients have significant equity locked in aging homes. When the time comes to downsize, fund care, or restructure, you need a real estate partner who understands the financial side: capital gains, principal residence exemption, tax-efficient timing, and estate planning implications. We treat your client's home as an asset class, not a transaction, and we bring the same level of rigor you bring to their portfolio.
What You Get
Expert panel participation at your client education events, capital gains content co-authorship.
