Testimonials
Here's Why Sellers & Buyers Trust ForSaleByOwner.ca
"Quite easy to use this service, and well worthwhile (particularly when paired with the MLS listing option). Our broker (Chris Mooney) was very helpful and prompt in answering questions. Will use forsalebyowner.ca next time!"
"The listing process online, and the support we received were excellent. Their web site is well designed and their easy step by step instructions make it a snap to list your property. They allow up to 40 photos, and the ability to add captions and interface with social media is great marketing for your property. Save $$ in commission and list your property on this site."
"Fantastic, have sold two houses now with FSBO. Easy and good support. The best way to sell your home"
"Thanks for offering a great service for a really low price. Although the house still sold using the buyer's realtor, it saved me about $8000 in listing realtor fees. I will definitely use your service again."
"Thank you to the wonderful For Sale By Owner team for your expertise and support!! We're so grateful for your fabulous service and the easy to use web site. It was an Awesome experience!!"
"The website was easy to use and while we were filling out all the applications, we could use help of the FSBO agent. The fact that even though we were selling by owner and we could still use MLS for our listing was great! Thank you!"
"ForSaleByOwner.ca was a perfect platform for this sale... very helpful, very comprehensive. I am absolutely sure to use the service again."
"This has been a great experience. We will be sharing this with our friends and family and highly recommend going this route for those who want to be hands on and save money."
"Our experience with FSBO was very smooth. We did not use any signage, and chose to list on realtor.ca. We sold after 5 days on market. Easy Peasy. Highly recommend."
"As soon as I put up my For Sale By Owner lawn sign, a neighbour saw it and gave me an offer! Several backup inquiries came through while the deal was pending, so I'm pleased with the results. My neighbour did not have a buyer's agent, so I saved commission on both sides. Thanks, FSBO!"
"Another successful sale at asking price with no conditions. FSBO staff were extra helpful in completing the documents required... even on Saturday of a long weekend! I will NEVER use any other vendor to facilitate the sale of house/property. I HIGHLY recommend the use of FSBO to save yourself tens of thousands of dollars and maintain control of the sale of your home."
"This is our second sale with FSBO and both have been successful. With FSBO it allows us to be actively engaged with potential buyers and in touch with listings stats to make more educated decisions."
"We are absolutely ecstatic about the private sale of our home! NO agent involved so saved soooo much money. FSBO was extremely helpful - always took time to explain the website and forms required. It WAS still work to get the house sold - I respect what realtors go through to get a house sold but I just could not justify the commission; had to try it on our own. We had two open houses and..."

"This process was quite simple and responses to make the changes quick. I will highly recommend this company."
"I really appreciated who created this website and which help sellers understand the proper market. I sold my house in just 1 day. There are no nightmares during the transaction. I saved a chunk of money ($17,000). My listing agent, Susan always called and helped me with forms necessary for MLS listing and guided me in the proper direction. Thanks, Susan and FSBO for the seamless transition...." (click to read full testimonial)
"ForSaleByOwner.ca was well worth the time and effort, they make the process seamless and easy."
"Conditions are waived, house is sold. No realtors on either side so it was simple and quick, we were able to negotiate a price acceptable to both without the $12,000 for both sides commission."
"For Sale By Owner had three people looking at our property within three days of listing. Smooth and easy to use website with lots of help just a phone call away. Thank You."
"Help was provided with all details of getting my listing posted. No hassles. Would definitely list this way again! Thank you For Sale By Owner Inc. for making this possible."

Open House Advertising
"Open House" on ForSaleByOwner.ca
Promote your open houses with our automated system - "set it and forget it"!
Our open house system will display a noticeable "Open House" flag in the search results and on your listing page one week prior to the start date, and remove itself once the end date has finished.
This is a great way to get more interested buyers into your home.
Sales Contracts Provided
After purchasing your listing package, you are given access to download sale/purchase contracts directly from your account.
They are provided as interactive PDF files for ease of use.
60 Photos on ForSaleByOwner.ca
This is the maximum number of photos that can be uploaded and displayed on your ForSaleByOwner.ca listing.
Since a picture paints a thousand words... the more photos, the better!
Printable Feature Sheets
With the click of a button, you can automatically generate a printable feature sheet that pulls photos, data and contact information directly from your listing. It creates a PDF file that can be printed directly from your web browser or saved to your computer for later.
You can hand them out during open houses, or to anyone who stops by for a showing.
Shown here is an example of what the feature sheet template looks like, with room for 6 photos.
This handy feature is included in our services.
Click here for a larger preview of our automated feature sheets.
Social Media Sharing Tools
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.
You can view our Successful Seller's Guide or Dealing With Buyer's Agents guide here on our website at any time. We are also available 7 days a week to support you with your listing.
No Cancellation Fees
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.
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:
- AllClassifieds.ca (FSBO)
- Facebook Shop (FSBO)
- Google (FSBO)
- HomeFinder
- Kijiji (in many markets)
- Locanto (FSBO)
- MapLiv (FSBO)
- Mitula (FSBO)
- Ovlix
- Point2Homes
We also post ads on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
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.
Learn more about listing syndication.
FSBO Listing Syndication
For additional exposure, our Canadian listings from ForSaleByOwner.ca are automatically submitted to the following classifieds websites & social media:
This creates a broader reach for your listing!
Learn more about listing syndication.
Open House Advertising on REALTOR.ca
Announce Your Open Houses on REALTOR.ca!
(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
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
Need additional support with the MLS® System paperwork and listing process?
We've got you covered! If working with computers and paperwork isn't your forte, we'll make it easy by filling out the MLS® System forms with you over the phone and online, and you electronically sign them. It's that simple!
This optional, INCLUDED service is ideal for: condo owners, mobile owners, those without a computer, or anyone who does not like working on computers in general.
After 22+ years helping people sell on their own, we know that some people may feel a little overwhelmed with the whole listing process, and the initial REALTOR.ca listing paperwork is usually the number #1 source of the stress. Whatever the issue may be, our support pros take most of the "work" out of doing the paperwork - so you don't need to worry about it!
REALTOR.ca: DIY Fast-Track Service
Are you good with computers and filling out documents?
Our DIY fast-track platform is perfect for those who require minimal assistance in completing their listing and MLS® System paperwork so that you can get listed quickly!

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.

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:

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.
You can learn more about local boards on our "What is a Local Board?" page.
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.
Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
Not sure how to price your property? Our CMA reports can help!
Pricing your property accurately is REALLY important!
That's why we provide a FREE (human-generated) market analysis to our customers in our $499 pricing!
All sellers can now request a non-biased, Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report for their property, using the most up-to-date information available on the various MLS® Systems throughout Canada. We offer this included service in 95%(+) of the locations we operate in.
We supply you with a report that includes active listings, recently sold, pending, and even expired listings in PDF format, and you use this data to help price your property.
CMA reports are provided to the seller within 12-24 hours of receiving the CMA request notification from the system.

ForSaleByOwner.ca Listing
In eligible locations across Canada, our most popular listing package is the FSBO + REALTOR.ca listing combo.
