Sell Without An Agent · Homeowners
Bōde charges $949 flat plus GST at listing, or 1% capped at $10,000 plus GST when your home sells. Every listing includes professional photography, RMS measurements in Alberta, MLS access, and full offer management. This post breaks down exactly what you pay and what you get.
How much does it cost to sell with Bōde?
Bōde offers two pricing options: $949 flat plus GST paid at listing, or 1% of the sale price capped at $10,000 plus GST paid only when your home sells. Every listing includes professional photography, certified RMS measurements (Alberta), MLS listing, listing on 1,000+ partner sites, and offer management through the platform. Legal fees, your Real Property Report or survey certificate, and moving costs are paid separately and are the same regardless of how you sell.
01 Your Two Options
$949 flat option
1% success fee option
$949 + GST
Paid at listing. Non-refundable.
Best for sellers who are confident in their price and timeline. The fee is fixed regardless of the sale price. On a $600,000 home you pay $949 plus GST. On a $1,500,000 home you pay $949 plus GST.
1% capped at $10,000 + GST
Paid only when the property sells.
Best for sellers who prefer to pay at closing. The fee scales with the sale price up to a maximum of $10,000 plus GST, regardless of how high the sale price goes. On a $700,000 home you pay $7,000 plus GST. On a $1,200,000 home you pay $10,000 plus GST.
Both options include identical listing services, marketing reach, and offer management. The only difference is when you pay and whether the amount is fixed or percentage-based.
02 What’s Included
The following are included in every Bōde listing. No add-ons, no tiers, no separate charges for these services.
Professional photography
Bōde arranges professional photography for your home before listing. Listing photos are the first filter buyers apply. Homes that photograph well get more showings. The photography cost is included in your listing fee.
Certified RMS measurements (Alberta listings)
Every Alberta MLS listing requires certified Residential Measurement Standard (RMS) measurements performed by a trained professional. Bōde arranges and includes this service with every Alberta listing. No separate booking or fee required.
MLS listing and 1,000+ partner sites
Your listing goes live on MLS and REALTOR.ca from day one, plus distribution to Zillow, Homes.com, and 1,000+ additional partner listing sites. This is the same MLS access a traditional agent provides.
Offer management through the platform
Buyers and buyer agents submit offers directly through Bōde’s offer management system. You review, counter, and accept offers from your dashboard. All offer documents are stored and accessible throughout the transaction.
Homeowner Dashboard access
Your Bōde Homeowner Dashboard is free and active from day one, whether or not you are listed. It tracks comparable sales, neighbourhood demand, and your home’s estimated value continuously. Bōdie, the AI interface into Bōde AI, provides data-backed insight when you need it.
03 Cost by Home Price
The table below shows what you pay with Bōde versus a traditional 4% total commission at different price points. The RPR or survey certificate and legal fees are excluded here because they are the same regardless of how you sell.
Sale price
Bōde flat ($949)
Bōde 1% (capped)
Traditional 4%
$400,000
$949 + GST
$4,000 + GST

$1,500,000
$949 + GST
$10,000 + GST (cap)
$60,000
The 4% figure above represents a standard total commission (listing agent plus buyer agent combined). Actual traditional commission varies by agent and market.
04 What You Pay Separately
The following costs apply to every home sale in Canada. They are the same whether you sell with Bōde, with a traditional agent, or any other way. Bōde does not charge for these, and they are not included in the listing fee.
Real Property Report (Alberta) or survey certificate (BC)
Required for most residential sales. Typically $500 to $1,500. Ordered from a licensed land surveyor. Your lawyer advises on whether your existing RPR is current and acceptable.
Legal fees
$1,500 to $2,500 for most residential transactions. Paid directly to your real estate lawyer, not to Bōde. Bōde’s Pro Marketplace connects sellers with vetted real estate lawyers in Alberta, BC, and Ontario.
Buyer agent fee
You set this number when you create your listing on Bōde. It is displayed to buyer agents before they book a showing. You control what you offer, and it is factored into your net proceeds calculation.
Moving costs
$500 to $3,000 depending on distance, volume, and service level. The same regardless of how you sell. Bōde’s Pro Marketplace lists vetted movers you can connect with directly.
Common Questions
Every Bōde listing includes professional photography, certified RMS measurements (for Alberta listings), MLS listing and distribution to 1,000+ partner sites, offer management through the platform, and Homeowner Dashboard access. Legal fees, your Real Property Report or survey certificate, buyer agent fee, and moving costs are paid separately.
The $949 flat fee is paid at listing and does not change based on your sale price. The 1% option is paid only when the property sells, calculated as 1% of the final sale price capped at $10,000 plus GST. Both include identical services. The flat fee gives cost certainty upfront. The 1% option means you pay nothing if the home does not sell.
If you choose the flat fee option ($949 plus GST), that fee is paid at listing and is non-refundable. If you choose the 1% success fee option, you pay nothing unless the home sells. Both options are available at listing and cannot be changed after the listing is live.
The buyer agent fee is the compensation offered to a buyer’s real estate agent for bringing a buyer to your listing. You set this amount when creating your listing on Bōde. It is separate from Bōde’s listing fee. Most Alberta, BC, and Ontario transactions involve a buyer agent, and the fee you offer is displayed to agents before they book a showing.
A traditional agent typically charges 3 to 5% of the sale price in total commission, split between the listing agent and the buyer agent. On an $800,000 home, that is $24,000 to $40,000. Bōde’s 1% option at the same price is $8,000 plus GST. The listing includes the same MLS access and marketing reach as a traditional agent listing.
