Get started right now! Your rhinoagent will prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of your home to similar properties that have recently sold and to those that are currently for sale. Our professional interpretation of this data will allow you to choose the correct price for your home based on the current market conditions.

Cut your buyer's agent fee in half! That's right, regardless of which MLS® Service Plan you choose, if a rhinoagent shows your home and writes a successful offer, we only take half of the buyer's agent commission you're offering. Combine that with our incredible listing fees and you've just saved yourself a lot of money. Now that's a bonus!

Interested in what we've been selling lately? Here's a link to our most recent successes!

We've been providing discount real estate services to Calgary and area residents for over a decade. And, collectively our clients have saved millions of dollars in real estate fees when compared to a commission rate of 7% on the first $100,000 plus 3% on the balance of sale price.

After selling your current home, a qualified rhinoagent will help you search high and low to find your next home, any MLS® listing. And then, we'll pay you 25% of the commission we earn on that purchase. Our CashBack Reward Program puts cash in your pocket on possession day, when you need it most!

Realtors® don't attract offers... houses do! It is your house and the value you place upon it, that will determine whether or not you attract an offer. Buyers don't care who has your house listed on the MLS®, but they do care about location, condition and value!

We've sold a lot of homes over the years and can definitely tell you that it takes no more work to sell a $600,000 house than it does to sell a $300,000 house. In fact, it may very well turn out to be the opposite. At a commission rate of 7%/$100k plus 3%/balance, it costs $22,000 to sell the $600,000 home and $13,000 to sell the $300,000 home. Why do home owners of higher priced homes put up with this? Our flat fee listing commission eliminates this inequity.

Ten years ago in Calgary homes were worth about half of what they are today. At 7%/$100k plus 3%/balance the real estate fees for a $400,000 home today would be $16,000. To sell that same home worth $200,000 ten years ago would have cost $10,000. That's a 60% raise for doing the same job!

Old-style traditional real estate agents want you to believe in the "pay more, get more" theory of real estate. They would have you believe that by paying them more commission, they will somehow magically get more for your home. Do we really have to tell you this isn't true?

Just like our traditional competitors, our listings are shown and sold by Realtors® from every real estate company in Calgary. Therefore, when you list your home with us on the MLS®, you have immediately employed an army of salespeople to aid in the sale of your home.

Let us refer you to a qualified Realtor® in the city or town you're moving to, and we will ensure you receive the best quality of service available. And guess what, we'll also pay you 25% of the referral fee we receive from that agent. Not a bad deal.

If you can reduce the commission you have to pay, don't you think you could set a more attractive sale price and sell your home faster? In today's market, buyers are very "value" driven and every little bit helps.

It's better to sell in the spring. There is absolutely no correlation between what time of the year you sell and how much you'll get for your property. Winter, spring, summer or fall, who knows? Just like the stock market, the real estate market is unpredictable. Time your sale based on your personal circumstances and you've just picked the best time to sell.

On average, rhinoagents sell more real estate every year than traditional Realtors® Also, our sell through ratio is higher than all traditional brokerages in Calgary! Why pay more for less?

Often we hear of traditional agents using the old adage "you get what you pay for" when trying to compete with us. The fact is our Full Service Plan offers the same real estate services they do for a lot less money. On the other hand, maybe they're right and you do get what you pay for when it comes to real estate services. ever hear the other old adage "taken to the cleaners"?

In-home Realtor® Consultation:
As part of our Full Service Plan, rhinorealty sends a licensed Realtor® to your home to meet with you and correctly verify the specifications and size of your property. While at your property, our Realtor® may make some no or low cost suggestions to improve the marketability of your property. They will also be able to provide their opinion on any contemplated higher cost improvements and whether or not those improvements will yield a suitable return.

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA):
Also known as a home evaluation, a CMA will help you choose what list price to place on your property. A CMA uses the most recent and relevant sales data to assist in determining an accurate valuation. Our Realtor® will suggest the best list price for your home based on how it compares. Remember, a properly priced property will always yield the highest available sale price.

Examination of your Current Title:
At no charge, we provide you with a current property title. When you are selling a property, it is important to know if there is anything on your title that could either prevent or cause major complications upon closing. Our Realtors® are experienced in reading titles and can point out any potential concerns.

Examination of the Real Property Report (RPR):
Previously called a survey, a RPR is a document which shows the dimensions of the property and all improvements upon the land. In Alberta, it is the responsibility of the Seller to provide the buyer with a current and complying RPR. Our Realtors® are experienced in reading RPR's and will be able to confirm, or not, whether you need to have a new or updated survey performed. If a new or updated RPR is required, we will arrange this for you in the most cost effective way.

Prepare and Execute the MLS® Listing Agreement:
While at your home, our Realtor® will prepare and answer any questions you may have regarding the listing agreement. Once executed, this agreement forms an agency relationship that allows us to act on your behalf throughout the sale of your home.

Professional Quality Photos:
While at your home, we will take professional quality digital photos of your property. As many as 20 photos will appear in the MLS® and 30 in rhinorealty.com. Our Realtors® know how to, and what to, photograph. And, as importantly, they know what not to photograph.

Installation and Removal of Professional Signage:
Our attractive and eye catching rhino signs will help draw attention to street traffic and will help Realtors® identify and locate your house.

Installation and Removal of Realtor® Lockbox:
Upon executing your listing, please have a key(s) ready for our Realtor® to place in the lockbox. This lockbox will allow buyer's agents to access your home and show potentials buyers your property. This lockbox is tamper proof and safe, if you are going to deal with Realtors® you need a lockbox.

Submit Listing to the Calgary Real Estate Board MLS®:
All licensed Realtors® from all real estate companies will now see and be able to access your listing in the Realtor® only proprietary database. Our listings are shown and sold by all Realtors® in Calgary in exactly the same manner as traditional higher priced real estate companies.

Deliver Color Feature Sheets:
After loading your listing into the MLS®, we will deliver professional full color feature sheet of your property for all Realtor® showings. This feature sheet contains all the necessary information and photographs buyers will need to make an informed decision on your property.

Advertise Listing on MLS.ca and REALTOR.ca:
Gives you all the exposure you need for a successful sale. By far and away, the most visited public websites for Canadian real estate. Home buyers from anywhere in the world can utilize these websites to shop from the comfort of their home and to inform their Realtors® when interest exists. Additionally, the mobile applications of these sites allow drive-by shoppers to access information about your home while sitting in their car.

Advertise Listing on rhinorealty.com:
This is an important marketing tool for buyers that are driving the neighborhood and see your sign. Our signage includes our website address which they can visit to view price, photos and details of your property. Usually we include more photos and information than is available on MLS.ca or REALTOR.ca. Additionally, we receive thousands of hits on our website per month from buyers that see our listings throughout the city and surrounding communities.

Google and Bing Mapping:
With a click of their mouse, buyers can see exactly where your home is located.

Online/Smartphone Realtor® Support and Updates:
At rhinorealty, we are well aware that in this day and age, many people prefer online or Smartphone communication. We will be available throughout your listing to answer any questions you may have or help you through any difficulties you may encounter. Just fill out a support request online or text us and a licensed Realtor® will answer your questions as quickly as possible.

Real time Market Updates:
You will receive from us via email, all the relevant sales, price changes and new listings that may affect your decisions while trying to sell your home. This is important information you need to keep yourself competitive with other home sellers.

Field all inquires on the property:
As part of our Full Service Plan we will field and deal with all inquires on your property. Whether the queries are coming from Realtors® or a member of the public, we will receive and answer any questions about your property throughout the selling process.

Show your Home to Prospective Buyers:
Not all home buyers are represented by a Realtor®, some prefer to shop on their own. Most inquires of this sort come through MLS.ca and REALTOR.ca. If we receive an inquiry on your home from an unrepresented buyer, we will first qualify that buyer and then, if satisfied, arrange a viewing of your home. And best of all, if that buyer likes your property and writes a successful offer, you only pay us half of what you are offering to all other buyers' agents.

Coordinate all Realtor® Showings:
We fully understand that selling a home can be quite inconvenient and that all home sellers have lives. Some people have pets, or unusual work schedules that require an extra effort to schedule those appointments. We will endeavor to accommodate your life as best as possible without jeopardizing the sale of your home.

Schedule and Conduct Public Open House:
If requested, we will advertise, schedule and conduct a public open house for your property. While these are a bit old school when it comes to selling homes, and potentially a security risk, some home owners still believe in them. And, sometimes they work!

Include your Home in Realtor® Caravan:
On occasion, Realtors® from different companies that have listings in the same community will arrange to do what is called a Realtor® caravan. All the Realtors® will meet, either in the morning or afternoon, at one of the listings and then proceed as a group to all the listings included on the caravan. These caravans are great for determining how you compare to other listings in your community and great to increase awareness among the Realtors® currently working the community.

Obtain Available Showings Feedback:
Meaningful feedback from Realtors® is very difficult to obtain in this day and age. The reason for this is that buyer's agents have a legal obligation to protect their clients' confidential information. That said, Realtors® talk to Realtors® and we ensure that any and all meaningful feedback finds its way back to you.

Monitor Competing and Sold Properties:
Selling a home is rarely a static event. You must constantly be aware of what your competitors are doing. Throughout your listing, we will continually be watching what is happening within your micro market. This will enable us to provide you with sensible and beneficial advice.

Liaison throughout the Selling Process:
As we will be in regular contact with you regarding showing requests, feedback, and market updates, we are afforded the opportunity to discuss the progress of your sale. Additionally your listing agent will be available to you by phone to answer questions you may have or to advise you on any changes to your property or listing that may be required to better position your home for attracting an offer.

Receive, Present and Negotiate Offers:
We're on your side! We will receive and evaluate all offers to purchase on your property. After presenting each offer to you, we will advise you and negotiate the offer on your behalf. We are well aware that you have hired us to extract the best available price from that buyer. Additionally, we will ensure all included terms and conditions are written to your best advantage significantly improving the probability that the deal will hold together.

Hold Deposit Money in Trust:
Because we are a full service real estate brokerage we maintain a trust account in accordance with Alberta law. It is definitely in your best interests for that deposit to be held on your side, not with the buyer's brokerage or lawyer. If the buyer defaults, you may be entitled to all or a portion of the deposit. Having your own representative hold those monies is always in your best interests.

Handle all Condition Removals:
In residential real estate, 99.9% of all offers contain one or more conditions. Common conditions are financing and property inspection, however, you would be surprised what some buyers' request. The first step in successfully removing conditions is making sure that necessary conditions are written properly and that superfluous conditions are excluded from the deal. We will ensure that the buyer and/or the buyer's agent are working in a timely manner to remove conditions by the stipulated date.

Deal with Amendment Requests:
Frequently after a deal is agreed upon either the seller or the buyer wants to, or needs to, change a particular part of the contract. A common example is a change in possession date, however, amendments can deal with any aspect of the contract. Amendments can be requested by either party, before or after condition removal, but in all cases require both parties agreement.

Schedule and Follow-Up Property Inspection:
More than likely your deal will include a property inspection condition. And, as no house is perfect, it will likely reveal some deficiencies. These deficiencies may either be minor in nature or significant and potential deal breakers. Our job is to ensure that you are not giving up money or conceding to defects that may be allowable according to the Property Inspection Schedule.

Conveyancing of Paperwork to Lawyers:
Once a deal is firm and your property is sold, your own lawyer and the buyer's lawyer need to have copies all pertinent contractual paperwork. Property transfers can be held up significantly if both lawyers are not apprised of all that has been agreed upon. And remember, if the transfer is held up, so is your money.

Supervise Closing Day Procedures:
After we have heard from your lawyer that the purchase funds have been received and keys are releasable we will contact the buyer or buyer's agent for key transfer. Sometimes possession day goes smoothly, often it does not. Whatever the case, we will deal with any and all situations and ensure that both parties understand their contractual rights and obligations.
