GTA First-Time Home Buyer Workshop: From Renting to Owning

Ready to move from renting to owning in the GTA?

Handson Workshop - you learn, implement and we create roadmap for your future HOME

Join Our Event for a free, in-person workshop designed to help you understand the home-buying process and build a practical plan for your next steps.

Whether you’re exploring your first purchase or hoping to buy within the next 0–6 months, learn how to assess your readiness, understand the costs, and compare options that fit your household.

WHAT WE’LL COVER

• Down payments, deposits, closing costs, and the savings you may need beyond the purchase price.
• Mortgage pre-approval, affordability, and how lenders assess an application.
• First-time buyer programs and savings accounts, including eligibility considerations.
• Home-buying considerations for newcomers and recent permanent residents.
• Comparing GTA communities, property types, and commuting options to Toronto.
• Planning for a growing family and balancing space, location, and budget.
• The steps from preparing to buy through making an offer and closing.
• Building a practical action plan for the next 0–6 months.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This workshop is especially relevant to GTA renters, newcomers and recent PR holders, growing families, and commuters to Toronto who are considering purchasing within six months.

If you have $60,000 or more saved, we’ll discuss how savings fit into the broader buying picture—including down payment, closing costs, and a financial cushion. You do not need $60,000 saved to attend, and savings alone do not determine mortgage eligibility.
