Success stories

When these two delightful women met, Jana lived in Etobicoke and Maribeth lived in Brampton, so it required persistence and planning for them to get together. 

Maribeth said, “We are really very different from each other. It might seem like we should be more alike to make shared living work but we have found just the opposite is true.” Jana agreed and added, “We are compatible and happy together, even though very different. We respect each other and there is no awkwardness between us. We learn from each other.” 

This success story is unique for a number of reasons. The house became available through a partnership between SWLT and the landlord. So, the house came before the formation of a homemate group. Two of the homemates already knew they wanted to live together so they searched for 2 more compatible homemates. 

Kelly is a homeowner in a unique area of Ontario….Manitoulin Island. You need to take a ferry to get to her beautiful home. 

Hazel is an active 70-something woman, with a positive outlook and a passion for gardening. They met here on this website and started to chat about living together. Then, Hazel drove up (a 6-hour drive) to stay with Kelly for 3 days to see how compatible they were. The visit went really well, and they decided that Hazel would move in.
