They were always available to take our calls and went out of their way to support us not just with our real estate related questions, but also with financial and legal matters. Initially we reached out to them because of their down payment assistance program but that is just the tip of the iceberg; their knowledge, customer service, professionalism, and honesty towards their clients really stood out.

At the age of 24 I was able to achieve my dream of owning a home and broke free from renting. I was able to find a really awesome agent through Zown who really understood what I wanted. Through the down payment assistance this is what was able to truly speed up the timeline on when I could get my home.
I would definitely recommend Zown 1000% percent it will help your dream come true. The down payment assistance took the stress away and gave us mental peace that we could actually get a home.

10 stars if possible. This is the future of real estate. Zown and Ishtiaq were amazing to work with and would use them again any time and would recommend them to any of my friends. Great service, amazing skills and also a great platform. If you are selling your house you need to contact zown.

Zown has helped me to keep my grandmother's home in the family. Without the down-payment assistance, and the knowledge and kindness of all the people along the way, none of this would have been possible. Exceptional service, prompt responses, I will definitely be telling everyone I know about my experience.

They were highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure I always felt like a priority. They also went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of – from arranging a broker, inspections , lawyer to researching potential issues with a property.Throughout our journey, Ethan and his team demonstrated immense patience and understanding of my situation. I highly recommend the services of Zown! They also provide assistance for people needed for down payment!

Our biggest fear was getting the mortgage approval and how much we would get. Zown's down payment assistance helped us big time, we were able to become first time homeowners through this platform. The entire experience was awesome, efficient, and professional.
![Testimonial by Suren and Murina](https://zown.ca/CDN/images/use-case/home/testimonials/suren-and-murina.png)
With a growing family it is quite difficult to save up money for a home but with Zown coming in and helping us out with the down payment assistance program we were able to get into a home so much faster than we could have if we were doing it by ourselves as a family of five. Zown has truly changed our family's trajectory and lives.

Got questions?
We've got answers.

Submit your application through our online portal to discover your approval amount within seconds. Generally, eligibility requires a personal or combined household income of at least $90,000 and savings exceeding $15,000.
