Privacy

Test your price
See real offers before your home goes public.
You choose who sees it
Your home is shown to ready buyers, one at a time.
Fewer buyers
Fewer people see your home, so you may get fewer offers.
Less bidding
Without buyers competing, the price can be lower.
Harder to compare
Without public bidding, it is harder to know what the open market would have paid.
No public ads
Once you market it to the public, it must go on the MLS® within 3 days.
Your home is shown privately to buyers who are ready to buy.
Answer five questions. A REALTOR® then shows you what homes like yours sold for and the trade-offs.
A private listing agreement, plus the marketing rebate on paper.
Buyers are found through social media ads for the off-market service and through agent networks. Showings are booked one at a time.
If it sold, you are done. If not, you can list on the MLS® and the marketing cost comes back to you.
The promise, in writing
If your home does not sell in 45 days and you choose to list it on the MLS®, what you spent on marketing is rebated to you.
Your home is not advertised to the public during the 45 days. Ads promote the off-market service, not your home. This keeps your sale private under CREA rules.
Yes. You sign a listing agreement, and your home stays off the MLS®. This is called an exclusive listing.
There is one rule to know. Under CREA's REALTOR® Cooperation Policy, if your home is marketed to the public, it must go on the MLS® within 3 days. A yard sign, a social post, an open house or a website ad all count.
Yes. You can switch to a public listing at any time.
You can list it on the MLS®. If you do, what you spent on marketing is rebated to you. This promise is given to you in writing.
