Sweetly is a full service licensed brokerage offering more than just the traditional real estate model. Sweetly is the only brokerage that invests its’ own resources to literally buy your business, improve property to achieve the highest sale price, and even buy your home on your schedule to make the process far less stressful for you.

Our fee to buy and resell your home is 2.75% of the re-sale price, plus our standard real estate commission. The extra 2.75% covers the expenses that we assume such as property tax, utilities, insurance, lawn/snow care, and mortgage payments. The fee is fixed and never increases regardless of how long it takes to sell the property.

We get this question every day — actually. There's really no catch! Sweetly is NOT a buy low sell high model, so we don’t ‘low-ball’. Those models exist, but that's not Sweetly. With Sweetly you get ALL the equity from your home and benefit from having us make the right improvements to sell your home for the highest price possible. Our Sweet Sale process is simply the easiest and fairest way to sell a home for the most money possible AND avoiding the stresses of public showings. The difference is more money for you, and the convenience.

Yes, you can consider our offer through your current listing brokerage. We normally re-list the property with the same REALTOR® and we pay 1% of the value which is roughly half of what most full service REALTOR®s charge.

You do! Sweetly will list the house at the pre-determined value and we don’t accept any offer of less than 97% of that evaluation, without you’re permission. If we feel a price reduction is necessary we’ll tell you, and you can decide to either allow a reducton to attract more buyers, or leave it for sale at the same price – you’re in control.

Your second payment is protected by a caveat registered on the title of your home which requires us to pay you before we can sell to anyone else. It’s the same level of protection a bank gets when they lend money on a property in the form of a mortgage.

Sweetly always seeks the highest price, and we commit to only accept offers within 3% of the original evaluation provided to you. If for any reason, we can’t get to within 3% you’ll be consulted. We give you the right to buy back the house by simply retuning our money any time before we’ve accepted an offer from anyone else.

Yes, Sweetly is a full service brokerage. We'd be happy to activate a free homes search based on your buying criteria. We'll show you any home for sale and when you find the right one we'll help you make an informed offer by showing you what the home last sold for (if available) and the recent comparable sales for the area to help you make good real estate decisions. Once you have a firm purchase Sweetly will buy your current home on the date that makes the most sense for you!

You'll have our offer on the same day we see the property.

Yes, you get to choose a date that works for you which is materially different than selling your home to a traditional buyer that may need the home on a date that works for them.

No. You don't pay commissions when you sell to us. We make our money from the service fee we charge against the resale which includes commission. IF YOUR HOME IS LISTED WITH ANY OTHER BROKERAGE you can still get our offer, but only through your current brokerage.

Improvements, additions and renovations are important factors for us to consider when determining the current value of your home as compared to others for sale or sold. Please tell us about them and include as many pictures as possible.

We are currently buying homes in Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary, and other major centers in Alberta.

We’re currently interested in buying single family homes of 850 square feet or more, with 2 or more bedrooms above grade. The homes we buy must have a value between $200,000 and $800,000. Some exceptions can be made and all deals are carefully considered.

Homes we buy must be vacant on possession date. We cannot assume any tenancies. We can't buy any homes that require significant work such as foundation problems, etc.. We also cannot buy a mobile home or other type of property that doesn't include title to land or a city lot. At this time we are not buying most condominiums, or commercial property, and some smaller communities throughout Alberta.

NO! A Guaranteed Sale is a gimmick some agents use to get your listing. Sweetly provides a clean offer and an actual sale - NO LISTING required. Guaranteed Sale programs require you to list the home for a period of time, then if the brokerage buys the home and resells it for more they keep the profit. That's not Sweetly.

YES! We consider every home carefully and photos help us understand the condition and unique appeal of your home. Send photos!

Yes, Our offer is good for 4 days from the time written. You'll have time to consider your options but we cannot leave offers open indefinitely.

We can move as fast as you need us to. Typically we need about 10 days to do our inspection of the home and finalize our commitment to you. We can move faster if necessary. You'll get your first payment on the possession date you choose.

We’ll do any improvements needed (which you agree to in advance) to ensure the home shows its best and sells for maximum value. We take photos and measurements, introduce the home to the buying public, post the home on the MLS®, hold open houses, book showings, deal with agents, buyers, inspectors and appraisers. We negotiate with buyers and re-sell the home on the open market. Basically, we do all the work, pay for all the holding costs and handle all the stress associated with selling a house.

Yes, we don't discuss or disclose your sale price, your reasons for selling or anything else with anyone for any reason. The only time we might share your name and contact information is with your consent - should you want our assistance with anything to do with the sale of your home.

Our offer is based on the expected market value. We determine the current value of your home by comparison to other recent sales in your area, or we can use a recent appraisal if you have one.

Our offer is based on Current Market Value of your home! Sweetly does NOT buy your home to create a profit between our purchase price and the eventual sale price. Our model is built to deliver you maximum market value.

Yes, If you feel like we've missed something about your home that makes it worth more than our offer price please bring that to our attention, we'd be happy to revisit our offer.

Yes, it doesn't matter to us when we close so if you need more time just let us know and we can make that change.

Yes. We’ll want to see your property in order to make you an offer.

We use certified home inspectors.

Don't worry. We are not a nervous buyer. Home inspections most often (actually always) yield some kind of deficiency or maintenance requirement. Once we know what those are we'll review them with you and discuss possible remedies if needed. If there's something seriously wrong with your home (like a faulty foundation) we'll likely need to pass on buying your home as we simply don't have the resources to deal with substantial issues of that sort.

You'll need to provide clean, vacant possession on the closing day of your choosing.

Yes, but please note that all of the appliances (Chattels) listed on the contract need to stay with the home. These will normally include the Fridge, Stove, Hood fan, Washer and Dryer, Window coverings, Garage door opener and remotes, built in speaker systems, closet organizers, etc. If any of these items are important for you to take with you, you'll need to ensure they are not included in the sale.

Your lawyer will pay out the mortgage using the first payment funds we pay for the home — you'll get the difference and get to use that money as you wish.
