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.
How Buying with Reboo Works — Step by Step
Step 1:
Browse Homes Across Canada
Search properties by location, price, and style — all within the app. No agents. No logins. No pressure.
Step 2:
Message Sellers Directly
Got questions? Chat with the seller in real time. No go-betweens, no filtered answers.
Step 5:
Finalize with a Lawyer or Notary
A legal professional will review the documents, register the title, and handle closing. You stay in full control the entire time.
Step 3:
Book a Viewing
Use our in-app calendar to schedule an in-person tour — on your time, directly with the seller.
Don’t forget:
Get an Independent Appraisal
Lenders typically require an appraisal when no realtor is involved. Speak to your specific lender for confirmation.
Step 4:
Make an Offer Through the App
Like what you see? Submit an offer through Reboo. Negotiate openly and securely. Once accepted, the app generates a Contract of Purchase and Sale — ready to take to your lawyer or notary.
