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 Tracker

The Google Sheets workbook in its lite form: the five tabs — Transactions, Listings, Deadlines, Commissions, Archive — structured and ready to run your files on.

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.
  • Not the full tracker. The Playbook carries the lite version — the complete workbook and its dashboard logic stay on this desk.
  • 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.

The benchmark

How Avenue packages it

Avenue Transactions sells services to agents and brokerages, then sells the expertise a second time as training. Three course tiers on Kajabi, aimed at people building a TC career in the US.

AVENUE TRANSACTIONS — TRAININGTHE ALBERTA TRANSACTION PLAYBOOK
Who it is forAspiring and practicing TCs across the US — a career path, “from newbie to pro”Practicing assistants and small desks in Alberta who already run files
What you getVideo courses plus a coaching community — BUILD (foundations), LAUNCH (scale to 30–40+ files), GROW (hire and lead a team)The working system itself: tracker template, checklists, trigger map, compliance workflows, email templates
PriceBUILD $49 USD · LAUNCH $99 USD · GROW by contact — cheap, built for volume$249 CAD one time ($199 founding cohort) — priced on the assets, not on lessons
Guarantee100% money-back, no questions asked, stated up frontWorth borrowing — costs little on a digital product, de-risks the $249
Ongoing labourCommunity and coaching — the tiers feed each other, and someone runs themNone by design: FAQ only, no community, no coaching. That is what keeps it passive
The ladderCourse → community → brokerage coaching → franchisePlaybook → Docket licensing (later, small cohort) — same ladder shape, fewer rungs
JurisdictionUS-general: contracts, compliance and systems in the abstractAlberta-specific: AREA contracts, ESRA, FINTRAC, the CREB unlicensed-assistant model — the part no US course can sell
Borrow

The money-back guarantee, the free-resources email funnel, and proof numbers up front (theirs: 5,000+ transactions — already in the mock as 319 / $437M).

Do not copy

Video courses, a coaching community, franchise offers. Each one is ongoing work wearing a passive-income costume.

The pricing lesson

At $49, a course seller needs five sales to match one Playbook sale. The Alberta pool is too small for a volume play — specificity is what carries the $249.
