About us

We make relocation for ALE claims easier

As Sinistar, we empower claim adjusters to relocate displaced policyholders quickly and cost-effectively.

Our story

In 2016, Alexis ran into a friend whose mom was facing a post-fire fallout, which forced her to stay in a pricey and uncomfortable hotel. Touched by the misfortune, Alexis offered her to stay at a friend’s cozy home instead. This caring idea sparked something big.


Inspired by the difference better housing could make, Alexis founded Sinistar with a mission to offer diverse, high-quality, and homelike solutions for those in similar situations. Since then, with a community of over 16,000 hosts, we have helped claim adjusters relocate over 5,000 displaced policyholders across Canada and beyond.
