Selling with Bōde versus Properly

Control & Efficiency

Bōde sellers are in full control of their listing, without needing an agent. You’ll have access to all the data, tools, and information needed to make the important decisions only you can make about your home. Homeowners that list with Bōde are empowered to make their selling goals a reality, and are more motivated than anyone else to do so.

 

Properly assigns an agent representative. They manage the listing process and control important decisions, such as having a set amount of buy side commission to be offered by sellers. They also require homeowners to both buy and sell their homes using Properly.

Cost

Bōde sellers pay only 1% up to a ceiling of $10K and only when your home has sold. There are no hidden fees or add-ons; the 1% is all inclusive of everything you’ll need to be successful. To buy with Bōde, there is no fee.
 

Properly charges a standard fee of 5% in Ontario, and 7% on the first 100K, 3% on the remainder in Vancouver. Sellers are not able to choose or alter their buy-side commission rates. Properly buyers pay more than Bōde buyers when the commission paid out by the home seller is taken into consideration. 

 

The Bōde Advantage

Bōde sellers save an average of almost 50% in commissions and also sell for 1.3% more on average compared to the rest of the market.  Saving on commissions plus getting a higher value for their home increases the amount of equity retained.

 

Let’s put the potential savings in perspective:

 

On a $700K home, Bōde sellers retain more than $20K (sell for $9,100 more + $11,250 commission savings) more on average than if they had used an agent. And this doesn’t even account for if they sell to a self-represented buyer!

 

An extra $20,000 can go a long way for homeowners.

Self-Represented Buyers

30% of Bōde listings sell to buyers without agents, making Bōde sellers 13X more likely than the market to sell to a self-represented buyer. This means 100% of the buy side commission saved regardless of what commission they choose to offer in addition to the traditional listing commissions saved.

With the traditional real estate approach used by Properly, almost all deals involve agents on both sides.

Platform

The Bōde platform was designed to put homeowners into the drivers seat, and connect buyers and sellers directly. From creating a listing, to accepting an offer and signing contracts, the entire process is completely digital, simple and streamlined. 

 

Properly uses a traditional real estate approach, with sellers being able to contact their agent via the platform. The platform displays listings but does not provide any additional tools or resources for buyers and sellers.
