Summitly & Zara

Summitly is an AI-powered Canadian real estate platform that helps you find, understand, compare, finance, buy, rent, sell and manage real estate. It is the technology brand operated in association with Coldwell Banker Summit Realty, a RECO-registered Ontario brokerage.

Summitly is the AI platform; the licensed brokerage behind it is Coldwell Banker Summit Realty, Brokerage, registered with the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO). Every Summitly-managed transaction is handled by a licensed agent.

Summitly serves Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Ottawa and Ontario-wide, and is expanding across Canada.

Summitly combines live MLS listings and sold data with an AI copilot (Zara) that searches, compares, values and explains homes, plus a brokerage that can actually handle the transaction end to end — not just generate a lead.

Yes — browsing listings, market data, calculators and Zara are free. Certain services (like a paid Rental Intelligence report) have a clear, one-time fee shown upfront.

Use the Contact page on summitly.ca, chat with Zara, or call the number listed on the site. Agents and clients can also reach their assigned Summitly REALTOR directly.

Yes — Summitly has a mobile app for iOS and Android with live MLS search, maps, saved homes and searches, the Zara AI copilot, and more.

Zara is Summitly's AI real-estate copilot. You can chat, call or have Zara act on your behalf — search live MLS listings, compare homes, estimate payments, explain neighbourhoods, flag risks and book showings, in 50+ languages.

Yes. Zara is agentic — ask in plain language (for example, 'a 3-bed under $1M near good schools') and it runs a real MLS search and returns matching listings you can open.

Anything real estate: find homes, compare two listings, check if a home is overpriced, estimate your monthly payment, ask what to offer, explain an area, or summarise a listing's pros and cons.

Zara provides helpful information and estimates, not guaranteed legal, financial or investment advice. Always verify important details and consult a licensed professional before making decisions.

Zara works in 50+ languages, including English, French, Mandarin, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Tagalog, Tamil, Farsi, Arabic, Spanish, Polish and Russian — by chat or voice.

Yes — chatting with Zara on Summitly is free.

Complete the Real Estate Salesperson Program (delivered by Humber College), register with RECO, and join a brokerage. It typically takes several months and a few thousand dollars in fees.

Rental Intelligence is a due-diligence tool that surfaces verified public records — court, tribunal, government enforcement and major-news mentions — for a landlord, tenant or company name, each linked to its original source.

A free preview shows the counts and source types. A full report with the underlying records is a one-time fee shown clearly before you pay.

No. It is not a credit check, a rating or a blacklist. It surfaces source-linked public records neutrally so you can verify them yourself — it is not a tenancy decision.

From verified public sources such as court and tribunal decisions, regulatory enforcement actions and major news. Forum posts and social-media accusations are not used.

Yes — every record has a Report Issue option that a human reviews. Sealed records, publication bans and removed-at-source records are suppressed.

Searching listings, market data, calculators and Zara are free. Paid items — like a full Rental Intelligence report or optional rental-listing boosts — have clear, upfront fees.

Commission in Ontario is negotiable, typically a few percent of the sale price, usually shared between the listing and cooperating brokerages. Your agent discloses it in the listing agreement.

Yes — listing a rental on Summitly is free. A leasing commission of half a month's rent plus HST applies only when a lease is signed, and optional visibility boosts are available.

Summit Verified tenant screening is a $49 annual fee that covers applications across every Summitly listing for 12 months.

Yes — Summitly has a mobile app for iOS and Android with live MLS search, maps, saved homes and searches, compare, the Zara AI copilot, and more.

When signed in with your Summitly account, your profile follows you across summitly.ca and the app, since they share the same account.

Yes — the app's search handles city, neighbourhood, address, postal code and MLS® number.

Yes — save a search and enable alerts to be notified about new matches, price drops and open houses.

From MLS® and verified real estate data sources. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed — always verify important details before relying on them.

Yes — Summitly shows recent sold prices and market trends where permitted, so you can value homes with real data.

No. AI valuations and estimates are illustrative, not appraisals or guarantees. Confirm with a professional appraisal or advisor for decisions.

Summitly handles personal data in line with Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), with consent-based collection and secure storage. Verification data, where used, is encrypted and never sold.

A search app like Summitly gives you 24/7 access to listings, market data, and tools like the Zara assistant to research neighbourhoods, prices, and trends on your own schedule. A real estate agent adds local expertise, negotiation, access to off-market opportunities, and guidance through offers and closing. The two work best together: use Summitly and Zara to explore and shortlist, then lean on an agent to execute. Apps empower informed buyers; agents handle the transaction and advocacy, and this is general information, not legal advice.
