Sold or We Buy It
Home Sold Guaranteed Edmonton
1.0 The Ultimate Peace of Mind for Home Sellers
The single biggest fear for a home seller is uncertainty. “What if my home doesn’t sell?” “How long will it take?” “What if I have to move but my old house is still on the market?” Our Sold Guaranteed Program is designed to eliminate these worries completely. We offer the ultimate safety net: a written guarantee that we will sell your home at a price and timeline you agree to, or we will buy it ourselves. Period.
2.0 How Our Guaranteed Sale Program Works
Our program is straightforward, transparent, and designed to give you certainty. Here are the simple steps:
- Professional Home Valuation: We conduct a thorough, in-person evaluation of your home and a detailed market analysis to determine its fair market value in today’s Edmonton market.
- Agree on the Price & Timeline: Together, we will agree on a competitive list price and a guaranteed sale price, which will be put in writing. You will know the minimum amount you are guaranteed to walk away with, and by what date.
- We Launch Our Aggressive Marketing Plan: We market your home using our complete, multi-channel strategy, just as we would for any client. Our goal is always to attract the highest possible offer from a third-party buyer on the open market.
- One of Two Great Outcomes Occurs: Your home sells on the open market, likely for a price that is higher than the guaranteed price we set. This is the most common outcome. In the unlikely event your home does not sell within the agreed-upon timeline, our guarantee kicks in. We will buy your home ourselves at the pre-agreed guaranteed price.
3.0 Who is This Program For?
Our Sold Guaranteed Program is a perfect fit for sellers who need to eliminate risk and uncertainty. It’s ideal if you:
- Have already purchased your next home and need to sell your current one by a specific date.
- Are relocating for a job and can’t afford for your home sale to be delayed.
- Are handling an estate sale and require a certain and timely closing.
- Simply want the ultimate peace of mind and want to avoid the stress of a traditional home sale.
4.0 Find Out if Your Home Qualifies
To ensure we can stand by our guarantee, not all homes will qualify for the program. The program is subject to an on-site evaluation and other terms and conditions. The first step is to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to see if your home is a fit.

Common Seller FAQs
If you’re ready to sell or have more questions, you can contact us here.
How much does it cost to sell my home?
The primary costs are the real estate commission and your legal fees. In Edmonton, a typical real estate commission is structured as 7% on the first $100,000 of the sale price and 3% on the remaining balance. Legal fees for a standard sale usually range from $1,000 to $1,500. These costs are deducted from the sale proceeds, so you don’t pay them out of pocket.
When is the best time of year to sell a house in Edmonton?
The Edmonton real estate market is typically most active in the Spring (March-June) and Fall (September-October). These seasons often see the highest number of buyers, leading to more showings and potentially faster sales. However, a well-priced and well-marketed home can sell at any time of the year.
Do I have to accept the highest offer?
No, you do not. While price is the most important factor, you should evaluate the entire offer. The “best” offer is a combination of price, conditions (like financing and inspection), and the buyer’s desired possession date. An offer with fewer conditions, even at a slightly lower price, can sometimes be the stronger and more secure choice.
What is a Real Property Report (RPR) and why do I need one?
A Real Property Report is a legal drawing of your property showing the boundaries and the location of all structures (house, garage, deck, etc.). In Alberta, a current RPR with a stamp of compliance from the city is required for most home sales. It protects the buyer by showing exactly what they are buying and is required by their lender to fund the mortgage.
Should I be present for showings?
No, it is highly recommended that you leave the property during showings. Buyers often feel uncomfortable and rushed when the homeowner is present. Giving them the space to explore freely and speak openly with their agent allows them to form a stronger emotional connection to your home, which is key to getting a great offer.
