Something solid to plan around
A private sale for couples with a house in Edmonton, Red Deer or Calgary.
When two people are going separate ways, the house is usually the biggest thing left to sort out. A private sale gives you both one written number and one closing date, so each of you can plan what comes next.
There are no showings to coordinate, no repairs to agree on and no sign on the lawn. Russ deals with both of you openly and gives you both the same information.
If the home is in good shape and you both have a few months, listing with a realtor will likely leave you with more money. Russ will tell you if he thinks that's your better route.
How it works
Three steps, and you can stop at any of them.
Tell us about the house
Fill in the short form or call 825-462-1777. It takes about two minutes.
Get your offer
We call you within the next business day to learn about the property, then come back with a written offer within 24 to 48 hours and walk you through how we reached it.
Close on your date
If the offer works for you, choose the closing date. The sale is completed through Alberta real estate lawyers, the same as any other home sale.
What makes this easier for both of you
Fewer things to agree on.
One number, in writing
A written offer with the numbers behind it, so you're both looking at the same figure.
A date you both choose
Close in a few weeks or a few months. Pick the date that works with your move and your agreement.
No showings or repairs
Nobody has to get the house ready, and nobody walks through it. We buy it as it sits.
Paid out through the lawyers
The mortgage is paid off at closing and the rest is paid out through the lawyers, as your agreement or the court directs.
Where we buy
Edmonton
Our main focus: houses across the city and the communities around it.
Red Deer
Homes in the city and central Alberta.
Calgary
Homes in the city and nearby communities.
Common questions about selling during a separation
Do we both have to agree to the sale?
In most cases, yes. If you're both on title, you both sign. If you're married and only one of you is on title, Alberta's Dower Act still requires the other spouse's written consent to sell the home you lived in, and that applies until you're divorced. Your family lawyer can tell you what applies to you.
Do we need a separation agreement first?
Not to get an offer. Before closing, the lawyers will need to know how the money is to be divided, which usually comes from your separation agreement or a court order.
How is the money divided?
That's between the two of you, your agreement and your lawyers. We pay the purchase price through the lawyers and they pay it out as directed.
Will you talk to both of us?
Yes. Russ is happy to speak with you together or separately, and he gives you both the same numbers.
One of us still lives in the house. Is that a problem?
No. You choose the closing date, so there is time to arrange a move.
Is the sale private?
Yes. There is no listing, no sign on the lawn and no public showings.
Will the offer be less than I'd get by listing?
In most cases, yes. A well-presented home listed with a realtor will usually sell for more. What you get from us in exchange is no repairs, no showings, no commissions and a closing date you choose.
Are there commissions or fees?
No. We're not realtors, so there is no commission, and we don't charge fees of any kind. Your offer spells out in writing exactly who pays which closing costs.
Are you the one who actually buys my house?
We sign the purchase agreement with you. From there we either complete the purchase ourselves or assign the agreement to one of our investor partners, who completes it on exactly the same terms. Either way, the price and closing date in your agreement don't change, and this is written into the contract.
Other situations we help with: selling an inherited house, selling when payments are behind and selling a rental property.
