Jaselyn is an active runner and a woman who knows what she wants—a specific type of home that felt out of reach due to Toronto's second land transfer tax and high closing costs. Renting in Toronto for years, she was hit with a sudden reality: her landlord wanted to sell the condo she lived in, forcing her to leave under Ontario's rent control laws. Despite her disciplined approach to saving, the high cost of renting in Toronto left her far from being able to afford the home she desired. Jaselyn's dream of homeownership seemed distant, and the thought of saving for a few more years felt like running an endless race with no finish line in sight.

When Jaselyn stumbled across one of Zown's Instagram ads, she thought it was too good to be true. Skeptical but intrigued, she did her research and booked a consultation with Jake from Zown. Jaselyn learned there really was no catch—Zown would provide $15,150 in Upfront Down Payment with no ownership share or repayment. That assistance saved her two to three years of additional saving and boosted her purchasing power by $150,000. With Zown's support and clear communication through WhatsApp, text, and email, Jaselyn felt confident moving forward and secured the home she had always wanted.
