Canadian homeowners are increasingly turning away from traditional loans, and Toronto-based HEQ (The Home Equity Partners) is capitalizing on that shift. The company announced that the combined value of homes in its managed portfolio has now topped $20 million—a milestone reached in less than eight months after crossing $10 million in February 2026.
That rapid doubling signals a notable change in how Canadians approach their home equity. Rather than taking on new debt, many are seeking ways to tap into the value of their properties without monthly payments or interest, and HEQ’s growing roster of investors, mortgage brokers, and strategic partners is helping meet that demand.
At the core of this growth is the Home Equity Sharing Agreement (HESA)—a model where homeowners receive funds from their equity with no monthly payments, no interest, and no new debt. The agreements run for up to 10 years, and in exchange, HEQ takes a share of the home’s future change in value.
“Doubling our portfolio in under eight months shows that Canadian homeowners want a better way to access their home equity,” said Shael Weinreb, CEO of HEQ. “Every agreement represents a homeowner who chose flexibility over debt and an investor who trusted our disciplined approach. We are only at the beginning of what this model can do for Canadians.”
The company attributes its momentum to rigorous underwriting, a commitment to capital preservation, and transparent terms across the board. Going forward, HEQ plans to expand its footprint in the Greater Toronto Area and broaden its partner network, staying true to the same principles that have fueled its rise.

Why it matters: As interest rates and debt burdens weigh on Canadian households, HEQ’s model offers a debt-free alternative that could reshape how homeowners access their largest asset. The company’s rapid portfolio growth suggests this isn’t a niche experiment—it’s a signal that equity sharing is becoming a mainstream option in Canada’s housing market.
