Jon has set up over 150 rent to own projects, and as a result, has made home ownership a reality for Canadians who otherwise would not have been able to buy a home to live in. He strives to put others first in all of his deals, and as a result he has an 87% success ratio with his clients (in an industry that is only 50/50).
If he can do everything possible make successful home ownership a reality for all Canadians, he’ll feel like he’s winning. As a direct result of the standard he’s setting it appears the entire rent to own industry is being improved thanks to his efforts to make renting to own a more mainstream way for people to buy, and people to sell their home.
Jon Simcoe was the President of the Canadian Association of Rent to Own Professionals (elected fall of 2016 to 2018, Director of Professional Standards 2012 to 2016). He also holds highest Diamond Member status (having completed more than 10 successful rent to owns) within CAROP.
