Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

Privacy Policy

Off-Market Advantage (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an Alberta, Canada based real estate solutions company. We respect your privacy and handle personal information in accordance with Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and, where applicable, Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

1.Information we collect

We only collect information you choose to give us, plus limited technical data generated by your visit:

• Contact information — your name, phone number, email address, and preferred method of contact when you call, text, email, or submit your details through this site.
• Property information — the property address, its condition, mortgage or title details you share, your timeline, and the outcome you are looking for.
• Communications — records of our conversations, messages, and any documents you send us while we evaluate a potential purchase.
• Technical data — basic, non-identifying website data such as browser type, device type, pages viewed, and approximate region, used to keep the site working and understand how visitors use it.

2.How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry and discuss your property and goals.
• To evaluate the property and prepare an offer or proposed solution.
• To complete a transaction if we reach an agreement — including working with lawyers, title and closing professionals, and lenders as needed.
• To follow up with you about your inquiry, with your consent.
• To operate, secure, and improve this website.
• To meet legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.

We do not use your information for purposes unrelated to the above without asking you first.

3.Calls, texts, and emails

By providing your phone number or email address, you consent to us contacting you about your inquiry by phone, text message (SMS), or email, in accordance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Standard message and data rates from your carrier may apply. You can withdraw consent at any time — reply STOP to a text, use the unsubscribe link in an email, or simply tell us, and we will stop.

4.When we share information

We never sell your personal information. We share it only:

• With professionals needed to complete a transaction — for example lawyers, title and escrow providers, appraisers, inspectors, and lenders.
• With service providers who help us run our business (such as phone, messaging, and website hosting providers), who may only use it to provide services to us.
• With potential purchase partners or assignees, where a transaction structure requires it and as described in our agreement with you.
• Where required by law, court order, or a government authority with lawful jurisdiction.

Some service providers may store data outside Alberta or outside Canada; where they do, your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.

5.How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal and contractual requirements. Records related to completed transactions are retained as required by law; inquiry records that do not lead to a transaction are deleted or anonymized once they are no longer needed.

6.How we protect it

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information — including limiting access to people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take protecting your information seriously.

7.Your rights

Subject to limited exceptions under PIPA and PIPEDA, you may:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you and how we use it.
• Request a correction to inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Withdraw your consent to further contact or handling of your information (which may limit our ability to work with you).
• Make a complaint — to us first, and if unresolved, to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.

8.Cookies and analytics

This site may use essential cookies and privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use it. We do not use this data to identify you personally. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work.

9.Children

Our services are intended for property owners of legal age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10.Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will post the new version here and change the “Last updated” date above. Material changes to how we use information already collected will only be made with your consent where the law requires it.

Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of this website. By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1.Who we are

Off-Market Advantage is a private real estate solutions company operating in Alberta, Canada. We buy properties directly from owners as principals for our own account.

2.Informational purposes only

Everything on this website is general information about how we work. It is not an offer to purchase any specific property, and nothing on this site creates any obligation on either of us. Any actual offer or agreement will be made only in a separate written document signed by both parties, and only that document will govern a transaction.

3.No professional advice

Nothing on this site or in our communications is legal, financial, tax, appraisal, or investment advice. Selling a home is a significant decision. We encourage you to obtain independent legal and financial advice before signing any agreement — with us or anyone else.

4.No guarantee of an offer or outcome

We evaluate each property individually. We do not guarantee that we will make an offer on any property, that any offer will meet your expectations, or that any transaction will close. Timelines described on this site (such as flexible or fast closings) describe what is often possible, not a promise for any particular situation.

5.Acceptable use

You agree not to use this site to do anything unlawful, to submit false or misleading information, to attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, to scrape or harvest data, or to interfere with the site's operation or other visitors' use of it.

6.Intellectual property

The Off-Market Advantage name, logo, and all content on this site (text, design, graphics) belong to us or our licensors. You may view and print pages for your own personal use, but you may not copy, reproduce, or distribute our content for commercial purposes without our written permission.

7.Third-party links and services

This site may link to or rely on third-party services (for example, fonts or telephone links). We are not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of third parties.

8.Disclaimer of warranties

This website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

9.Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Off-Market Advantage and its owners, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of this website. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Alberta law, including liability arising from our own fraud.

10.Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your misuse of this site or your breach of these Terms.

11.Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Alberta. Any dispute relating to this website will be resolved exclusively in the courts of Alberta.

12.Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version posted on this page, with its “Last updated” date, is the version in effect. Continuing to use the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

Important Disclosures

We believe an informed seller makes the best decisions. Before working with us — or any direct home buyer — you should understand the following:

• We buy as principals. We purchase properties for our own benefit, to hold, renovate, resell, or otherwise deal with at a profit. Our interests in a transaction are our own.
• Our offers may be below full market value. A direct, as-is, off-market sale trades some price for speed, certainty, privacy, and convenience. If maximizing sale price is your only goal, listing with a licensed REALTOR® on the open market may serve you better.
• Agreements may be assigned. Depending on the structure, we may assign our interest in a purchase agreement to a partner or another buyer. Where an agreement permits assignment, it will say so in the written contract.
• Creative structures carry their own terms. Some solutions we offer (such as flexible closings or seller-friendly terms) have conditions that differ from a conventional cash sale. Every material term will be in writing before you sign anything.
• Get independent advice. We will never discourage you from having a lawyer review any agreement before you sign it. We recommend it.

Questions about any of this? Ask us directly — a straight answer costs nothing.
