Our take

Properly is a technology company trying to fundamentally shake up Canada’s $60B real estate industry with a new way to buy and sell homes that takes the stress out of a life changing transaction.

Their major differentiator is that Properly provides Sale Assurances to home sellers, acting as a backstop if a seller cannot find a buyer on the open market. This means that sellers no longer have to time the sale of their current home with the purchase of their next one.

The startup has successfully rolled out in Toronto and now Vancouver. Continuing to expand into different Canadian markets is the priority while further refining the product.

The biggest challenge for Properly will be competing with any volatility in the market. Sales Assurances are a risky, capital intensive offering but if they can make it work, they will have truly revolutionised the real estate market for the benefit of average buyers.
