Our Story


Heading home started when we realized that we could help people overcome the challenge of home ownership .

Santos Garcia,

Primary Investor

Santos is a local business owner and passionate advocate for helping people feel at home:  he’s lived in 4 different countries and has helped dozens of people find a great place to stay. He’s made the Kitchener- Waterloo region his home and befriends people here from all over the world.  He is comfortable with different cultures, and especially loves helping those who are new to Canada feel welcome and established.

He’s a graduate of the Legacy Elite education program, when he learned how to help families move from renting to owning their own home in 4 years or less.  He has seen members of his own family fall into a desperate housing situation and is committed to helping others avoid the same experience through his knowledge and connections.

As an owner and operator of his own mechanic shop, he learned the importance of understanding customer needs.  As a father of two beautiful girls, he knows how great it feels to be proud of your home as it’s the place where your family’s memories are made.  

Santos loves active and healthy living, and is an avid Cross-fitter and soccer player.   He believes in juicing, fresh foods, and having a positive mindset to support good mental and emotional health as well.  When he throws a party, he is sure to have lots of salsa music on hand, and make everyone feel welcome!

Erica Lee Garcia

Investor and Advisor

Erica is an engineer and volunteer active in the KW community.  She’s volunteered with the professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) since 2014 and sang with various groups including the Dalziel Jazz trio, Grand Harmony Sweet Adelines, and Songbirds trio.  

In 2018 she founded Engineers of Tomorrow, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to telling young people better stories about engineering and STEM careers. She runs Erica Lee Consulting when she isn’t taking care of two beautiful daughters Rosa and Lucia.  

She met Santos in 2010 while volunteering on a social venture in Buenos Aires, when she answered a Craigslist ad to rent out a room. The ad happened to belong to Santos. You could say that real estate brought us together!

Thank-you!
