They are provided as interactive PDF files for ease of use.

Shown here is an example of what the feature sheet template looks like, with room for 6 photos.
We provide social media sharing tools that easily let you share your own listing across popular social media sites, or for searchers to share their findings with others.
Spreading the word has never been more simple!
Complete & Relevant Listing Data
Our Base FSBO Package gives you the ability to fill out a variety of data fields to ensure a complete and accurate listing. These fields include the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, lot size, parking, year built, room dimensions, fire place, air conditioning, hot tub, pool, and much more.
All of this additional information helps your property be represented in a professional manner.
Automatic Google Indexing
Every day, we automatically submit all of our listings to Google using an XML sitemap system specifically designed for search engines. These sitemaps are accessible to all search engines, meaning that others are easily able to crawl our listings, too.
All of our listings are submitted and indexed by most major search engines, giving our customers more exposure on Google and other popular search engines.
SPAM Prevention System
Using a combination of formulas, we have a custom built spam prevention system in place that filters out the majority of junk and scam attacks from getting through to you. When someone sends an email to you through your listing's contact form, we strive to detect and block messages that do not appear to be legitimate, increasing your online safety. It also saves you from the inconvenience of having to sort through several fraudulent or spammy messages.
However, it's still important to use common sense and to ensure that all prospective buyers view your property in person before any agreements are made.
Private Website Linking
Do you already have your own website to help promote your listing?
At For Sale By Owner Inc., we encourage our customers to list their property on multiple websites to further increase their exposure. Simply paste in the URL into the "Private Website Link" field when you add or edit your listing, and a personalized button will appear on your listing that goes to the external link.
Virtual Tour Linking & Embedding
Did you get a professional virtual tour done of your property? If so, add the link to your listing and a virtual tour button will appear for users to click on in order to view it. Compatible virtual tours such as Matterport and iGUIDE® can even be embedded directly into your listing page's photo gallery.
This allows potential buyers to get an even better impression of your property and is therefore a highly valuable selling tool.
Video Linking & Embedding
Your listing can be seen and heard better with a link to a video walkthrough showcasing your property. Compatible videos such as YouTube can even be embedded directly into your listing page's photo gallery for easier viewing.
Online Support & Tips for Success
We have various guides available for free on our website to help you make the most out of your selling experience.
Topics include preparing yourself and the property for sale, property inspections, using social media to promote your listing, showing your home, documentation, working with buyer's agents, and much more.
There are no cancellation fees for any of our services. Period.
No Listing Change Fees
There are no fees when you make updates to your listing, such as a price reduction.
You can freely update your ForSaleByOwner.ca listing as often as you like, which you can do yourself directly in your online account.
Even if you purchase the REALTOR.ca addon, change requests to your MLS® System listing are still free of charge.
No Selling Fees
There are no selling fees for any of our services. Enjoy the savings!
7 Days/Week Listing Support
We strive to be available 7 days a week to support you with your listing and any questions you may have about the process.
24/7 Self-Serve Listing Management
Each seller has 24/7 access to their listing data at all times, and is in complete control of their information & listing.
Any updates made to your For Sale By Owner listing are instantly reflected on our website without delay.
MLS® System Listing
Be seen on Canada's largest real estate website by getting a posting of your property on REALTOR.ca.
All British Columbia REALTOR.ca mere postings are loaded to the local real estate board that is closest to the property's physical location. For more details, please click on the "MLS® System Listing on Your Local Board" section of this page.
Did you know that the REALTOR.ca and MLS.ca websites are actually the same website? If you type the address MLS.ca into a web browser, your browser will redirect you to REALTOR.ca. Many people don't know this, so we've taken a moment to explain it to make things more clear to our sellers.
With a mere listing on REALTOR.ca, your property will receive maximum exposure to the most serious buyers and real estate agents, with the flexibility of still being able to sell privately without commission.
$49 FSBO-Only, 7 Day Listing Option
Think your house is going to sell fast? This option is ideal for those sellers and for those who are looking to test the market.
If you want to see what kind of response your listing will get on our network without committing to our FSBO-Only (No Time Limit) package for $250, or our MLS® System Combo (No Time Limit) package for $549, you can now purchase a 7-day listing period for $49 to feel out the real estate market in your area.
You still get all of the services included in our unlimited-duration flat fee $250 FSBO-only package, the only difference is that the $49 listing expires in 7 days. Don't worry, you can extend the 7-day listing for another 7 days for $49, anytime as well.
So, if you want to test the market for 7 days this week, then pause the listing for a few weeks, and then try again a few weeks from now, you can easily do that without losing any of your listing data in our system. Each seller can reactivate their listing at $49 for an additional 7 days anytime once it is in our listing management system and in our syndication network.
You can switch to the $250 FSBO-Only package or the unlimited-time $549 MLS® System Combo package (REALTOR.ca) from your FSBO account page ANYTIME!
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this pricing option anytime at 1-888-323-1998 ext. 101.
REALTOR.ca DDF® Listing Syndication
Aside from REALTOR.ca, your listing is also automatically submitted to several additional real estate and classifieds websites for maximum exposure:
PLEASE NOTE: The listings marked with "(FSBO)" are submitted using our own listing syndication service, whereas all others are provided by REALTOR.ca's DDF® (Data Distribution Facility) service and are subject to change. Some listings may not show up on the websites mentioned above due to technical difficulties, or because the listing may not qualify due to restrictions imposed by the destination website.
FSBO Inc. and Easy List Realty Ltd. are not responsible for any syndicated listings that are not showing on any destination portal in the list above, are incorrect, have missing data including photos, or incorrect order of the photos. This is especially true for some of the portals who are scraping the listing data from our webservers without our consent.
The syndication service is meant as an easy way to get additional free marketing on your listing and is not a core element of our listing services.
For additional exposure, our Canadian listings from ForSaleByOwner.ca are automatically submitted to the following classifieds websites & social media:
(Unlimited times for the duration of your listing)
With this service, the brokerage will update the REALTOR.ca website with your open house schedule for up to 4 weeks in advance. This will allow for your REALTOR.ca listing to come up in a search result for any buyer or agent who has used the Open House search parameter on the REALTOR.ca website when searching for available properties to view.
This is another way that our For Sale By Owner properties can be integrated into the MLS® System with the same online features that full service real estate agents offer their clients.
40+ Photos on REALTOR.ca
In addition to the 60 photos that you can show on your ForSaleByOwner.ca listing, you can also have 40+ photos displayed on the REALTOR.ca website
Any combination of exterior and interior photos is acceptable.
REALTOR.ca Paperwork Assistance
Worried about filling out the REALTOR.ca paperwork?
Don't be! We make it easy, and it's included in our pricing!
We fill out the forms with you over the phone and online, and then you e-sign them. It's that simple!
After 22+ years helping people sell on their own, we know that some people may feel a little overwhelmed with the whole sales process, and the initial MLS® listing paperwork is usually the number #1 source of the stress!
Are you good with computers and filling out documents?
You can get listed quicker on the MLS® System with us when you do most of the online paperwork yourself.
Our DIY fast-track service option is perfect for those who require minimal assistance in completing their listing and MLS® System paperwork. It also saves you more money, while getting listed quicker!
AND, if you need a little more help with the listing paperwork and process, not to worry! We offer a FULL-SERVICE listing option for a modest $69 fee where we walk you through the entire MLS® System process and make sure your REALTOR.ca listing debut is done right!

Find a Better Listing Price? We'll Match It!
If you have indeed found a comparable service for a better price, we will match the price.
There are several sites out there who are using creative pricing models to hide the true cost of listing with them.
At For Sale By Owner Inc., we operate differently. We use a true one-time flat fee pricing model for all of our MLS® System Listings.
All of our listings are "Until It Sells" with no time limit. We don't charge a fee to cancel the listing if you need or want to. We don't charge for any changes to your listing including photos or price updates, either.
Instead, we charge one low flat fee that also includes:
Auto-Forwarding of All REALTOR.ca Inquiries
REALTOR.ca DDF® Listing Syndication
Sales Contracts for Each Province
Printable Feature Sheets
7 Days/Week Listing Services
Online Support & Tips for Success
Advertising Syndication to Multiple Social Media Sites

If you are confident that you have found a comparable service at a better price than ours, please let us know and we will step up and match that price. Please call us directly at 1-888-323-1998 ext. 101 so we can validate your price.
MLS® System Listing on Your Local Board
We load your MLS® System listing to your local real estate board!
Our brokerage members belong to multiple local real estate boards throughout Canada.
This allows us to offer a premium service on our REALTOR.ca listings, because each listing is actually loaded to the local real estate board that is closest to the property's physical location.
This means that your REALTOR.ca listing will be fully visible to the local real estate agents in your area, and to the general public, giving your listing FULL exposure on the MLS® System & REALTOR.ca.
If you would like clarification about local boards, please call us anytime on our toll-free number at 1-888-323-1998 ext. 101.
Auto-Forwarding of REALTOR.ca Inquiries
Since your property will be publicly posted on the REALTOR.ca website under our listing brokerage, several interested parties will inquire right on REALTOR.ca as opposed to your listing here on ForSaleByOwner.ca.
Since all MLS® System postings are only allowed to have the brokerage's contact information on it, we have created a customized solution that automatically catches these inquiries and then immediately forwards them to you so you don't miss a thing!
The REALTOR.ca listing layout varies per province and real estate board, but generally there are 2 inquiry buttons to request more information or to book a showing, and both will auto-forward to you.
Local Board Exposure
Being on your local board means that your REALTOR.ca listing will be fully visible to the local real estate agents in your area, and to the general public, giving your listing FULL exposure on the MLS® System & REALTOR.ca.
* Exceptions: Some boards in British Columbia charge extra fees to be listed on their local boards. They are as follows:
