EZtoFind.ca — Free BC Real Estate Information & Property-Search Platform
An information and property-search site by Doug LeMaire, REALTOR® of Fraser Property Management Realty Services Ltd. Search the live CREA DDF® MLS® feed, browse 240 British Columbia community profiles, and get instant answers from Doogie — an educational guide backed by 439 statute-cited glossary entries.
Practice areas & referral policy: Doug LeMaire personally represents transactions in Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and the Sea-to-Sky Corridor (to Whistler). Community pages and glossary content are published province-wide for research and education, but any consumer viewing a page outside those areas (Interior BC, Vancouver Island, Northern BC, the Kootenays, the Okanagan, etc.) is served by referral only through Doug's network of licensed BC REALTORS® on the appropriate local board (VIREB, IAR, KAR, BCNREB, CADREB). Doug does not personally transact real estate outside his stated practice areas. Request an out-of-area referral.

EZtoFind.ca provides general educational information about BC real estate — not legal, tax, financial, or real estate advice. For your own situation, speak with the appropriate licensed professional: a BC lawyer or notary, an accountant or tax professional, a licensed mortgage broker, or a licensed REALTOR®.
No, you can sell your BC home as a For-Sale-By-Owner. Here's what that actually involves.
Legal disclosure obligations continue
The Property Disclosure Statement (PDS), latent-defect disclosure, and statutory warranties still apply. Failing to disclose a material latent defect can void the sale and expose you to damages.
You cannot list on MLS® without a licensee
MLS® is licensee-only. FSBO listings live on FSBO-specific portals (grapevine.ca, comfree.com etc.). About 90% of BC buyers search MLS® via realtor.ca — you lose most of your buyer audience.
You must draft your own Contract of Purchase and Sale (or hire a lawyer)
The BC Real Estate Association's standard CPS form is licensee-only. FSBO sellers typically use a lawyer/notary to draft the contract ($800–$1,500) or a form from a real-estate lawyer.
You handle showings, negotiation, subject removal, disclosure yourself
Every step a listing REALTOR® would handle becomes your work. Time investment is typically 40–80 hours for a straightforward detached-home sale.
Buyer's brokerage compensation is typically NOT reduced
The buyer's-brokerage commission is typically 2.5%–3.5% (paid by seller). Even FSBO sellers usually offer this to reach the MLS® buyer pool via a MLS®-listed buyer's REALTOR®.
