Full-Service For Less.
We are a cloud brokerage. We've moved away from the traditional brick and mortar model. Overhead reduction, coupled with technology, from Internet and social media marketing, to digital contract signing, has significantly reduced the costs associated with selling and marketing real estate. Cost reductions play a huge role in how we are able to offer world-class real estate services for less than our competition. And we do it all without sacrificing the service you expect and deserve.

Experienced and Accessible.
Our small team at Equity One has completed close to 1,000 transactions since 2008. With that experience comes the confidence to handle any situation or scenario that may arise during the sale of your home.
Our clients can contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Call us, email us, text us, fax us, dispatch a messenger pigeon. We are committed to being accessible to you when you need us.

Honesty. Integrity. Loyalty.
Three words that form the hallmark of our business. We never forget who we work for, and where our allegiances lie.
We promise to always shoot straight, even if what we have to tell you isn't favorable. We will never use pressure, mind games, or scare tactics to influence your home buying or selling decision. Rather, we focus on providing you with information and data, coupled with experience and advice to help you make informed decisions when it comes to what will likely be your biggest financial transaction.
Stunning Photos & Virtual Tours.
We provide exceptional photography, and a 3D immersive virtual tour for each and every listing. And your property address gets its own web address. We want your property to remain solely in focus when we market your property online, free from the distraction of other similar homes.
But we won't limit ourselves to photos and virtual tours. Drone, custom sign printing, video - anything it takes to showcase your home in the best possible light is included in our service, at no additional cost.

Marketing Prowess.
We list your home just about everywhere. Starting with the MLS® System and REALTOR.ca, we syndicate your listing to over 30 major real estate websites. In fact, your listing will appear on the websites of the largest real estate brands in Canada. We also invest heavily in social media advertising, both in building brand awareness and in the promotion of our clients real estate listings.
Real estate is one of the few industries where small boutique brokerages compete on equal footing with larger franchise systems, given the collaborative nature of the MLS® System.

Only Our Fee Is Discounted.
Lower fees? Yes. Cheaper? No.
Discount brokerages are often viewed as offering inferior service, largely as a result of the unbundling of services in order to slash fees. Unlike some discount brokerages, we never cut corners to offer lower commission. We are a full service brokerage offering personalized service at a lower commission rate, and are highly respected amongst other brokerages and REALTORS® where we serve. We charge home sellers 1% listing commission, and give home buyers 25% of the commission we earn when they hire us as their buyer representation.

Supporting Our Community.
Whether hosting neighbourhood E-waste recycling days in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and the City of Ottawa, raising funds and goods for the Ottawa Food Bank, or donating Ottawa Senator tickets to deserving individuals and organizations, we understand the importance of giving back to the city we call home.

The first step of Jo-Anne and Trevor’s plan was development of a 3D video which was spectacular and led to 13 showings over 5 days. On day 5 we had four offers and it sold unconditionally for $56,000 over asking. Their 1% listing agent commission meant there is more money in our pocket. During the process all of our questions were answered immediately. We were very happy that we listed our home with Equity One and they are highly recommended.[read more]

They provided all the services of higher-priced realtors with great photography, 3D tour of the home, and a beautiful video using a drone for aerial shots and set to music. They answered my questions promptly and clearly, without any ambiguity, so I always felt in control of the sale of my property. They are a nice, down-to-earth couple who worked as a team, they showed years of experience in the value of their advice and their connections to people who helped me get my house ship-shape to market, and then they were top-notch at negotiating the deal. I had interviewed several very good realtors for the job, but when I met Joanne and Trevor and compared what they offer against what higher-priced real estate companies do, I could see they offer everything the others do, and they delivered.[read more]

If ever you have bought a house you know the feeling. Cash going out to so many hands. It feels really good when about 2 weeks after closing you get a cheque from Equity One.Trevor put together great pics of our existing home and again with shrewd advice from Joanne we got 10% over our asking, which itself was already more than I thought we would get.. We were listed for a grand total of 30 hours. Yes a little over a day. Throw in that they offer very reasonable selling commission rates.
