Listing to signature, from your side
Four steps, and no one between you and the seller.
You are talking to the owner, not to a listing agent relaying messages. What you send is what they read.
Every available listing, shown to every buyer.
Nothing is ranked, held back, or surfaced early based on what it pays anyone. Filter by city, price, beds, and baths, save a search, and get told when something new matches it.

Book a showing from the seller’s own availability.
Pick a slot the owner has opened, and ask them your questions in the listing’s message thread. The person answering is the person who has lived there.

A form, not an email you hope lands right.
You enter each term and the offer is assembled from what you entered — price, deposit, possession date, conditions, and inclusions. When a counter comes back, you see exactly which terms moved and which conditions changed.
Every round is preserved in order, so nothing gets lost, overwritten, or remembered differently later.

Agreement first. Signature second.
Both sides settle every term before anything goes out for signing, so by the time anyone signs there is nothing left in it to discover. You and the seller are reading the same terms, in the same words, in the same round.
See the whole process end to endYour deposit
It goes to a lawyer’s trust account, never to RealEasy®. We have no checkout and no payment processor, and money never moves through the platform.
What you take to your lawyer
The signed agreement, its certificate of completion, and a round-by-round summary of the negotiation — one file you download, not a folder of emails.
Why buy here
Five things a buyer gets on RealEasy.
None of them are favours. They follow from the seller not paying a commission on this sale.
You see everything
Every published, available listing is visible to every buyer. Nothing is filtered based on what it pays anyone.
No commission is priced into the deal
The seller isn't funding a buyer-side commission out of this sale, so the number you negotiate is the number — not a figure with someone else's fee built into it. What any individual seller will accept is between you and them.
You negotiate the actual terms
Not just price. Possession date, conditions, inclusions, and deposit — all of it, directly, with every round recorded.
Every seller has verified their identity
Every seller completes identity verification before they can list, and every listing passes a quality review before it publishes. Here’s what verification checks, and what it doesn’t.
Nothing binds until both of you sign
Your signed offer binds no one until the seller signs it too. After counters, the final agreement binds only once you have both signed it, and agreeing terms in a round binds no one.
What identity verification checks, and what it doesn't
Before anyone can list a property, make an offer, send messages, or request, confirm or host a showing, they complete identity verification through our identity verification provider. They present a government-issued photo identity document and take a photograph of their face, and the provider checks that the photograph matches the document.
Verification confirms only that, at the time of verification, the person's face matched an identity document that the provider accepted. It does not confirm that a person is safe, honest, or trustworthy, that they have authority to sell a property or the money to buy one, that the person you meet is the person who verified, or that the information a person gives is true.
We do not run criminal record checks, background checks, credit checks, or reference checks on anyone. We do not attend showings or inspect properties. In an emergency, call 911.
The Terms of Use set this out in full.
What it costs you
RealEasy charges buyers nothing.
There is no buyer fee of any kind — not to browse, not to message a seller, not to submit an offer, and not on completion. You will still have the usual third-party costs of any Alberta purchase, and they are worth budgeting for now rather than at offer stage.

- An inspection, if you choose oneYour call, and a condition you can write into your offer.

Before you make an offer
Two things to know before you offer.
Both are better read now than discovered at offer stage.
You can have your own agent — you just pay for them
Conventionally a buyer’s agent is paid out of the seller’s commission. There is no seller-side commission on RealEasy, so there is nothing to pay them from.
If you choose to be represented, that is your own agreement with your own agent, and by default it is on your own dime. If you deal with the seller directly, you don’t carry that cost at all.
Get your own legal advice before you are bound
Have a qualified Alberta real estate lawyer review your contract before you sign it. Alberta law provides no cooling-off period for real estate purchases, so a signed agreement is binding from the moment it is complete.
RealEasy is a technology platform, not a brokerage, and gives no legal or real estate advice. Conditions — financing, inspection, and anything else you need — are terms you write into your offer.
