Do I need a realtor to sell my house in Alberta?
No — there’s no legal requirement to use a realtor to sell a home in Alberta. You need a lawyer to close (they handle title transfer and funds), but not an agent.
Your three realistic paths: list with an agent (maximum market exposure, commission and preparation costs, best when the home shows well and you have time); sell it yourself (no commission, but you carry pricing, marketing, showings, and negotiation — and private buyers often discount harder than the commission you saved); or sell directly to a buyer like Oliver (no commission, no prep, firm close — traded against a below-top-market price).
None is universally right. The honest way to choose is net-to-net on your actual property and timeline — not which option’s marketing found you first.
