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.
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.
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:
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
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!
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!

FSBO-Only: DIY Fast-Track Service
Those who choose our FSBO-only package can enjoy total DIY service with zero wait time to get listed. However, we are still here to support you with any questions you may have along the way.
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

7 Days/Week Listing Services
Online Support & Tips for Success

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.
* Exceptions: Some boards in British Columbia charge extra fees to be listed on their local boards.
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.
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 24-48 hours of receiving the CMA request notification from the system.
