Calgary brokerage promises better search, lower fees

A new technology-powered real estate brokerage wants to disrupt the market in Calgary.

Bella Realty has been launched by local entrepreneur Roger Jewett and sales veteran Chris Matthews, promising lower fees for both buyers and sellers.

“We decided it was time for Calgary to have a different type of real estate brokerage - one that provides a better online search experience while generating significant savings for both sellers and buyers,” says Jewett. “We accomplish this by employing industry leading technology, reducing traditional listing fees by 50% and refunding 25% of our buyer's agent commission to the customer at closing."

The firm is already planning expansion across Alberta including Edmonton, Lethbridge and Red Deer once it achieves “considerable market share” in Calgary.
