Flying Stone Canada Ltd was started by two engineers  over 10 years ago as a side business. Gradually it has grown into a residential rental company to serve Edmonton and surrounding areas.

Quite opposite from what most people think, for a long time, we were NOT passionate about real estate, actually we hated it – the rental world is stuffed with horror stories about “slum-landlords” and “tenants from hell”… It is a toxic culture made us feel trapped, until one day we realized the way out of the trap is to start from within and care.

That is when “share homes happily” was born. Now we share homes instead of just renting houses, we think of “family and friends”, instead of “renters”, we show our cares in doing instead of only care in talking. Not long, we see smiling faces, arise genuine laughs, and share the true happiness.  

If you are alike us, still naive enough to believe in big dreams and willing to make impossible happen naturally, then this is what we will say to you – Welcome home!
