The Canadian housing market is increasingly difficult for renters and buyers, with landlords and sellers holding the majority of power and influence. Many landlords demand deposits, references, and credit checks just for the privilege of renting their property, while renters are left in the dark about the landlords's behavior, reliability, and history with tenants. The situation for buyers is even more dire, with factors such as blind bidding, inflated prices, foreign buyers, house flippers, and fractional purchasing making it almost impossible for the average Canadian to afford a home. To make matters worse, the rising cost of living has not been matched by equivalent wage increases, leaving many struggling to make ends meet.

Despite these challenges, there is hope. Property management companies and landlords, who are often unchecked, are finally facing accountability thanks to platforms like Home Advisor. As Canada's only platform dedicated to honest and public property reviews, Home Advisor is dedicated to providing valuable information to renters and buyers to help them make informed decisions. Our platform empowers renters and buyers with the information they need to understand the real value of a property and make the best decision for their future.

One of the biggest challenges facing renters and buyers is a lack of reliable information about the properties they are considering. Word-of-mouth is often unreliable and difficult to access, especially for those new to an area. With Home Advisor, renters and buyers can finally get an honest, first-hand account of what it's really like to live in a particular property. Whether it's noise levels, odour, safety, or the behavior of the landlord or management, Home Advisor provides all the information needed to make an informed decision.

At Home Advisor, our mission is to empower Canadians with the information they need to make better real estate decisions. We believe that everyone deserves access to reliable information, and we're committed to making that a reality. Join us today and be a part of the solution to a fairer, more informed Canadian housing market.
