Buy a Home Without a Realtor —
The Smarter Way
Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions of your life. Reboo helps you do it your way — no agents, no commission, no pressure. Just honest conversations with real sellers, and a step-by-step process that puts you in control
Why Buy Without a Realtor?
-
You're still paying the commission — even if it feels “free.”
In Canada, sellers typically pay the buyer’s agent’s commission. But that cost is built into the sale price — which means you’re still covering it, whether you realize it or not. Reboo helps eliminate that hidden cost.
-
Talk directly to sellers.
Message the actual owner. Ask questions. Book showings. It’s faster, more personal, and you get the real story — not a sales pitch.
-
Stay in the driver’s seat.
Pick the homes you want to see, when you want to see them. Make offers, negotiate in-app, and know exactly where your deal stands at all times.
-
No deals behind closed doors.
Traditional realtors negotiate out of sight — and their goal is often to get the highest possible price (because that’s how they get paid). With Reboo, you deal directly with the property owner. No pressure. No second-guessing. Just transparent communication and real-time negotiations you control.
