The Zown Team
The Learning Zown is written by Zown's in-house team: writers who explain things plainly, and licensed REALTORS® who make sure we are right. We publish under a team byline because these guides are a collective effort, and because the accountability that matters is the licensed reviewer named on every article.
How we make our guides
- 01A person outlines it against real questions
Every guide starts from questions buyers actually ask our Homebuying Advisors, or type into a search box. Not from a keyword list.
- 02Every number gets sourced before it is written
Rates, thresholds and program rules trace to the government, CMHC or lender page they came from. The list appears at the bottom of the guide so you can check our work.
- 03A licensed reviewer signs off by name
Nothing publishes without review by a RECO-registered member of our team. Their name, role and review date sit at the top of the page.
- 04We tell you we are a brokerage
Zown makes money when people buy and sell homes with us. Where a guide touches a Zown product we say so, and we do not pretend other options do not exist. We do not issue mortgages and we never promise anyone a mortgage approval; banks and lenders decide that.
- 05Anything with a number in it is re-reviewed twice a year
The updated date on a guide means a person checked it, not that a script touched the file.
- 06AI drafts, people decide
We use AI tools for research and first drafts. Every guide is edited by a person and reviewed by a licensed agent before it publishes. We do not publish unreviewed generated text.
