GreyLane Estate Services works at the intersection of estate transition and real estate opportunity. Many estate-owned properties hold meaningful untapped value but lack the immediate liquidity required to prepare them for today’s market.
Our investor partnership model brings together two aligned parties:
The outcome is a professionally managed sale that often exceeds as-is market value, while maintaining transparency, role clarity, and fiduciary responsibility throughout the process.
GreyLane facilitates a clearly documented partnership designed to protect all stakeholders.
Investors participate by funding renovation and improvement costs. Estates retain ownership of the property and benefit from value preservation and upside participation. GreyLane acts solely as the project manager and contractor, overseeing execution from start to finish.
This structure allows properties to reach their full market potential without requiring estates to take on financial risk or debt.
Our program combines seller-focused financing solutions with clear governance, compliance, and defined roles—ensuring smooth transactions, transparency, and confidence for all parties involved.
Each project follows a consistent, formula-based framework.
An independent appraisal establishes the property’s pre-renovation value. A detailed renovation budget and market exit strategy are developed.
Investors review the scope, budget, timeline, and projected outcomes. Participation is entirely discretionary, with full control over funding limits.
GreyLane manages the renovation from start to completion. Investor funds are released according to a predefined draw schedule tied to progress.
The property is listed by a pre-selected, licensed real estate brokerage under agreed terms.
At closing, funds are distributed through a clearly defined waterfall:
Our model is intentionally designed to minimize conflicts and align with applicable Ontario and Canadian regulations.
GreyLane does not participate in profit splits or equity appreciation. Our compensation is a fixed contracting fee built into the renovation budget, ensuring our incentive is limited to quality execution and cost discipline.
Independent appraisals establish and protect the estate’s base value before any shared upside occurs, supporting fiduciary obligations to beneficiaries.
We focus on disciplined execution and capital preservation, not volume.
Projects are presented only when renovation returns materially exceed cost of capital
Professional project management supported by a vetted network of licensed trades
Standardized agreements designed to secure investor capital through defined legal mechanisms
GreyLane maintains an active pipeline of estate properties across Ontario prepared for strategic improvement.
