Built for Alberta: AREA contracts, ESRA and FINTRAC, the CREB unlicensed-assistant model.

Inside the Playbook

Ten modules, in the order a desk is actually built. Take the whole system, or start with the module your files need most.

01

The System

One file, one record. How the desk is organized — inbox sweep, tracker, folders, calendar — and the daily, weekly and Monday-audit rhythm.

02

The Master Tracker

The Google Sheets workbook, formulas and dashboard logic intact: Transactions, Listings, Deadlines, Commissions, Archive. Copy it and run it.

03

The Checklists

Listing side, buyer side, closing, and the termination wind-down — the full Alberta set, in the order the work happens.

04

The Trigger Map

Every event and what it fires: acceptance, firm, closing, expiry, termination, lockbox pickup, the 30-day testimonial.

05

Compliance Workflows

ESRA and FINTRAC completed before a listing goes live. FINTRAC identification, SkySlope batching, and the lawyer package, contents settled.

06

Email Templates

Introductions, the seller checklist email, lawyer covers, funds-and-keys routing, the testimonial ask — fill-in form, in a professional voice.

07

Lockboxes & Keys

Serial-number records, the pickup reminder on the calendar, and the confirmation loop that closes the file.

08

Seller Updates

The stats package assembled on rhythm: listing stats, market numbers, showing activity, and a one-page market overview for the property.

09

Setup Guide

Folder structures, naming conventions, calendar architecture, and the 7 / 3 / 1-day deadline reminder pattern.

10

The Boundaries

What an unlicensed assistant in Alberta can and cannot do — and the desk rules that protect the agent relationship.

What is not in it

  • No software. The Playbook is documents and templates that run in the tools you already have.
  • No client app. The Docket is licensed separately, to a small number of desks.
  • No support desk. An FAQ covers the common questions; the system is built to run without us.
  • No legal advice. Operations material only — brokerage policy and CREB / RECA rules govern.

Who it is for

Unlicensed assistants

Working for one or more agents and running files from memory, inboxes and sticky notes.

New transaction coordinators

Setting up a desk in Alberta and wanting a proven system instead of a blank page.

Agents building a desk

Hiring or training an assistant, and handing them the whole operation on day one.

Questions, answered

Is this a course?

No lessons and no videos to finish. It is the working system itself — documents, checklists and templates you put on your own files the same day.

Does it work outside Alberta?

The system travels; the compliance modules do not. ESRA, FINTRAC and the CREB model are Alberta-specific, and they are the point.

What happens when forms change?

The Playbook is editioned. The 2027 Edition is current for 2027; the next edition is offered to owners at a discount.
