Anatomy of a walk-away
Example · Calgary 3-bed detached

What you see is what they need. What you pay is what they take home.

We don't ask you to trust the price. We show you the math. Every listing on Nest follows this structure.

How we verify

Four steps.
Every listing.

Self-declared figures are flagged. We do not publish walk-aways we cannot verify.

01

Title certificate

The copy from your purchase closing package. Nest confirms ownership and reads every charge registered against the property.

Reviewed · 1-2 days
02

Lender statement

A mortgage statement dated within 30 days, from your lender’s portal. The lender’s payout statement confirms the final figure at accepted offer.

Reviewed · 1-3 days
03

Purchase closing papers

The statement of adjustments your lawyer prepared when you bought — it proves your down payment. Renovation receipts only if you claim them.

Reviewed · 1-2 days
04

Walk-away published

The verified walk-away appears on your listing with a timestamped trail.

Published · Same day

Every Nest listing shows the verification trail — what was checked, when, and how.

Common questions

Before you ask.

How is the walk-away figure verified?+
Four documents. Sellers upload a title certificate (we review it to confirm ownership and the charges on title), a lender statement (we review it to confirm the outstanding mortgage balance), the statement of adjustments from their purchase closing package (we review it to confirm the down payment), and government ID (we review it to confirm the seller is the person on title). Renovation receipts are reviewed only if renovations are claimed.
Can sellers list above their walk-away price?+
Yes. The walk-away is a floor, not a ceiling. Most sellers list 1–4% above it. Buyers see both numbers.
What if I bought at the top of the market?+
Your walk-away is your walk-away — we publish it accurately. Sellers who can hold often find it's closer than expected once realtor fees are out of the equation.
Is a private sale actually legal in Alberta and Ontario?+
Yes — and in BC. Nest provides the documents and verification. We always recommend independent legal review before signing.
