• 1% success-based fee (capped at $10,000 +GST) – pay only if your home sells

There are:

• No hidden charges
• No listing fees
• Buyers use Bōde 100% free

Full transaction support—online

Bōde gives sellers all the tools needed to complete the entire process online:

• Create your listing
• Schedule and manage showings
• Message directly with buyers
• Negotiate offers
• Auto-generate industry-standard contracts
• Close the deal and exchange keys

The control is in your hands—with expert support available when needed.

Personalized insights with your Homeowner Dashboard

After claiming or entering your property, Bōde generates a custom Homeowner Dashboard that includes:

• Recently sold comparable properties
• Similar active listings in your area
• Local pricing trends and sales activity
• Your estimated commission savings

You can create dashboards for multiple properties and use the insights to support pricing, marketing, or timing decisions at any stage.

Maximum listing exposure

Once reviewed and approved, your listing goes live on:

• Bōde.ca
• Realtor.ca (MLS)
• Zillow
• Thousands of additional real estate platforms

Buyers can ask questions, book showings, and make offers directly from your Bōde listing page.

• A custom flat rate or percentage
• No commission, targeting unrepresented buyers

All commission terms are displayed to agents via Realtor.ca.
