Toronto homebuyer Wendy finds her dream home with Wahi and gets cashback from her home purchase.

Growing up, Wendy was always taught that purchasing a home was the ultimate financial goal. So when she moved back to Ontario in February 2024 after living in British Columbia for three years, she set her sights on buying a condo in Toronto that fit within her budget of $600,000. 

“I know times have changed and it’s difficult for millennials and younger [generations] to own, so I am fortunate to call myself a homeowner,” she says. “Housing security is really important to me.”

Wendy had been casually browsing online for a home when a family member recommended she try Wahi. “I knew what areas and features I wanted in a home, but I just needed help booking viewings,” she explains.

Wendy was able to take advantage of Wahi’s Cashback program, which provides homebuyers with cashback on their home purchase shortly after closing. When homebuyers choose to work with Wahi, they are matched with a REALTOR® and after they buy a home, Wahi passes some of the commission they earn on to the customer, which amounts to up to 1% of the purchase price. 

“I was drawn to Wahi’s Cashback program, but I also really enjoyed the whole process of searching [for homes] , booking [showings] and [the] purchasing [process],” she adds.

Wendy found the Wahi website and app intuitive and easy to use. “I loved using both Wahi’s website and the app during my home search. I enjoyed being able to message my Realtor for smaller inquiries without having to set up a call. I also liked that the site and app gave me access to information such as pricing history and sales history.”

Like having a personal real estate assistant on the go, the app, which is available at the App Store and Google Play,  includes recommended listings, shows nearby open houses, and lets you chat with your Realtor to get all of our real estate questions answered quickly and easily. The app also lets you search for homes with a partner. They’ll see which properties you love and you’ll see all their favourites. You can even have a three-way chat about the homes you both like with your Realtor and book showings together.

Thanks to the convenience of the Wahi app and the trusted advice provided by her Wahi Realtor, it didn’t take long before Wendy found a condo in Toronto for the price she wanted. “I have recommended Wahi to my network because I had such a good experience!”
