What an unrepresented seller is owed.

When you sell without an agent, you're an unrepresented party. The real estate professionals you deal with work for the buyer, and the rules spell out how they have to treat you.

In BC

You get a disclosure form first

A licensee working for the other side has to give you BCFSA's Disclosure of Risks to Unrepresented Parties form. It tells you they represent the other party and that what you tell them can go to their client. Initialling it is optional.

What they can do

Give you facts and forms

They can give you factual information and standard forms, fill out a standard contract, and pass your messages and offers to their client.

What they can't

Advise you or negotiate for you

They can't advise you on price or terms, negotiate for you, or keep what you tell them from their client. OwnClose makes sure you understand that conversation before it happens, so it goes smoothly for everyone at the table.

Your whole sale, on one map.

Your checklists, notes, property profile and worksheets save as you go. The map shows where you are.

  1. Choose your route. Private sale, a brokerage, or a mix. Deciding to hire an agent is a good outcome too.
  2. Know your property. Title, charges, permits, strata documents. Know it the way a professional would.
  3. Work out your own number. A comps worksheet does the arithmetic. The number is yours.
  4. Get three opinions. Ask the managing broker at three independent brokerages for a no-obligation opinion of value, and track them side by side.
  5. Prepare and market. Photos, an accurate description, the right places to be seen.
  6. Showings and licensees. Who represents whom, and what you'll be asked.
  7. Offers go to your lawyer. Learn the parts of a contract. Every offer goes to your lawyer or notary.
  8. Closing. Dates, costs, keys.

An AI guide that knows the local rules.

Ask how any part of the process works and get the answer for your province or state, with the source to check. The guide reads your property profile, so its answers fit your home.

What it won't do

Price your house, recommend terms, compare offers, or act as your lawyer. Those decisions are yours and your professionals'.

Why a flat fee

OwnClose is a product, not a service on your sale. You pay $49 CAD once and it takes no part of your sale price, so the only thing it's there to do is teach you the process.

Sell it yourself. Know the system you're selling in.
