About this episode
Rishard Rameez is the Co-Founder and CEO of Zown.
Zown is a buyer-first real estate platform operating in both Canada and the U.S., built to reward and empower people to reach their homeownership dreams faster.
Through their model, buyers receive up to $25,000 toward their home purchase — funded through the commission Zown earns. There’s no repayment, and buyers keep full ownership from day one.
