Why become an Ourboro Referral Partner?
For many homebuyers, saving enough for a full down payment can seem impossible, even with a good job and stable income. That’s why solutions like Ourboro have become real considerations for buyers that aren’t ready to give up their goal of homeownership.
Partnering with Ourboro means you can give your clients new options, even if homeownership has previously felt out of reach.
Your client is eligible if they:
- Are looking to purchase a home in one of our investment regions: Dufferin, Durham, Guelph, Halton, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Ottawa, Peel, Simcoe, Toronto, York.
- Have at least 5% of the purchase price saved to put towards the down payment, plus closing costs.
- Are able to qualify for the necessary mortgage with one of our lending partners.
- Are a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident.
- Are looking to purchase the home as their primary residence.
- Are looking to purchase a home between $550,000 and $2,500,000.
- Have at least 40 days until closing (if they have an existing signed offer on a home).
- Are looking for their starter home, not their forever home.

How Does Co-ownership with Ourboro Work?
Co-owning with Ourboro allows your clients to get into the market sooner by investing in the down payment alongside them. Our investment isn’t a loan, so there is no interest or additional debt. Instead, we buy a share in the future value of the home and, when the owner decides to sell, we each receive our fair share of the gains or losses.
As your client lives in the home we offer programs and services to help preserve and increase the home’s value, maximizing both of our returns.
The homeowner is free to sell the home or make an offer to buy our share at any time. While homeowners can co-own with us for up to 30-years, our co-ownership model is ideal for those that are looking to sell within the first 10 years. This shorter time frame allows buyers to get into the market and grow their investment, without having to share decades worth of appreciation with Ourboro.
How We Work With Real Estate Agents?
As an Ourboro Referral Partner, you’ll be able to easily refer your clients, and represent both them and Ourboro during the home buying process.
While Ourboro does have certain requirements as you view properties and prepare offers, we strive to provide agents with a high level of autonomy and flexibility during the homebuying process. These requirements include guidelines and processes around the region, build type, and price range we are able to co-invest in, as well as the maximum bid price and offer requirements.
How We Work With Mortgage Specialists?
After becoming an Ourboro Referral Partner you’ll be able to refer your clients for down payment and co-ownership support, while also helping them with their mortgage pre-approval and application through one of our active lending partners.
We’ve built partnerships with select lenders who understand our co-ownership product and are able to offer mortgages to our homebuyers at competitive rates. Depending on the lender and mortgage chosen by the homebuyer, you may access the co-ownership product directly from the lending partner or by co-brokering through an Ourboro preferred brokerage.
