In its ongoing investigation of Terrace Wood, a housing development endorsed by Mike Holmes, CBC recently learned that consumer watchdog Tarion condemned three of the houses. CBC also uncovered documents showing Mike Holmes not only promoted the project, but also a company he's associated with loaned money to the builder.

I saw this coming from a mile away. "Holmes Approved Homes" always gave me real Better Business Bureau vibes.

I had a feeling Holmes was full of shit. Once you see someone's name or brand plastered all over the place you can almost guarantee they're doing shady shit.

Seems like he allowed them to put his face on everything based on money and promises. He and his company took the checks but did not follow through and make sure that a quality job was done. Saying that none of the buyers payed for his inspection is a cop-out. He became the thing he railed against for years and it will do irreparable damage to his brand.

Sad but he can only blame himself.

There were warnings all over the net for years about this. No surprises here, only comedy and waste.
