BGRS and SIRVA-Registered Home Inspector for CAF & Government Relocations | Ottawa HHT Inspections

Supporting CAF & Government Relocations in Ottawa: Now SIRVA-Registered

Relocations are a regular part of life for many members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and federal government employees. Each year, families move across the country under tight timelines, often completing their home search during a short House Hunting Trip (HHT). Having the right professionals in place can make a significant difference in helping these moves go smoothly.

I’m pleased to share that SheInspects Ottawa is now registered with SIRVA, the relocation management company that administers relocation services for CAF and Canadian government employees. SIRVA is the current system supporting relocations previously managed through BGRS (Brookfield Global Relocation Services). Registration allows inspection services to be invoiced directly through the relocation program.

What This Means for Relocating Buyers

Being an Ottawa relocation home inspector registered with SIRVA helps simplify the inspection process for relocating families and their real estate teams. Instead of managing reimbursement paperwork themselves, eligible clients can have inspection services handled within the relocation framework, reducing administrative stress during an already busy transition.

For CAF members completing an HHT in Ottawa, timelines are often compressed — buyers may view multiple homes and make decisions within just a few days. My goal during these inspections is to provide clear, practical explanations of a home’s condition so buyers can make confident, informed decisions, even under time pressure.

An Educational and Calm Approach

Relocations can feel overwhelming, particularly when moving to a new city. I take an educational approach to home inspections, focusing on helping clients understand how a home works, what maintenance to expect, and which issues may require attention now versus later. People have told me they appreciate the calm and practical energy I bring to the process — something especially valuable during fast-paced relocation purchases.

Serving Ottawa’s Relocation Community

Ottawa remains a major destination for CAF postings and government relocations, with many families settling in communities such as Kanata, Barrhaven, and Orléans. As a SIRVA-registered home inspector, I’m proud to support relocating families and the real estate professionals who assist them during the posting season and throughout the year.

If you’re planning a relocation to Ottawa or supporting clients through a CAF or government move, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to help make the inspection process clear, smooth, and informative.
