The Ayres Force Difference

Military Helping Military

No one understands the impact of a military relocation quite like someone who has experienced it first hand.

We Understand HHTs

For the past 15 years we’ve taken the lessons learned from being posted to provide a familiar feel to an unnatural process.

We’re Here For You

This is no solo mission! Our team works diligently behind the scenes to allow us to give you the attention you deserve through the entire relocation process

Relocating to Ottawa

Regardless of where you are getting posted from, our team is ready to help you find your perfect home in the greater Ottawa region.

Relocating from Ottawa

We have a network of realtors across Canada that we can connect you with to ensure a seamless transition to your new posting regardless of where you are heading.

STEP ONE

Use Our Interactive Tool

Whether you have a posting message in hand, or you’re still waiting for it (Grrr…), we know how important it is to get your house hunting trip moving as quickly as possible.

Use our interactive tool to tell us about your needs and we’ll get a search going right away.

STEP TWO

Let’s Connect

Once we receive your information we’ll reach out to schedule a phone call or online meeting so we can get to know you and your family’s unique needs.

STEP THREE

HHT Time!

We’ve Got Options:

1. We’ll be ready for you when you arrive in Ottawa. We’ll have your list of properties ready to go and can even show you around the city if this is your first time in Canada’s capital region!

2. Virtual HHT: If COVID prevents you from travelling for your HHT, we’ll virtually walk you through your list of properties. When you’re ready to offer on a home, we will conduct a pre-offer inspection so you can submit a competitive offer with confidence and peace of mind.

STEP FOUR

Getting You Settled

The process doesn’t end when we find your perfect home. We will connect you with the right people as you get settled. We have an extensive list of professionals (doctors, dentists, contractors) and local businesses to check out and unique places to explore.
