Properly was a Toronto-based Canadian digital real estate brokerage founded in 2018 that began as one of the country's only iBuyers — making algorithmic cash offers on Calgary homes — before pivoting to Sale Assurance, a guaranteed-purchase backstop that let a seller buy their next home before selling the current one, wrapped around an online listing search and a machine-generated home valuation. It sat in the challenger layer of the Canadian value chain alongside HouseSigma, Wahi, and Zolo, competing on visibility into listing data controlled by CREA, the national cooperative that operates REALTOR.ca and the Data Distribution Facility (DDF) syndicating member boards' listings, in a market where land registration is provincially privatised and the public record is itself a commercial product. Properly was acquired by Pine Canada Financial Corporation in October 2023 and the brand has since been absorbed: properly.ca and www.properly.ca now answer HTTP 301 from an Amazon S3 and CloudFront redirect bucket to www.pine.ca, and the word "Properly" no longer appears anywhere on the surviving Pine real estate pages. Its API posture is closed and, as of this profile, non-existent. No developer portal, no API program page, no partner or data licensing page, and no published terms of API use were found. The developer., developers., api., docs., app., and blog. subdomains of properly.ca do not resolve in DNS, and every contract path probed — /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /api-docs, /$metadata, /odata — redirects into a Pine 404. The successor host api.pine.ca resolves to an AWS API Gateway that answers every path with HTTP 403 MissingAuthenticationTokenException: a private first-party backend, not a developer product. RESO is absent, which is the honest Canadian answer — Properly and Pine appear nowhere on RESO's own Canadian membership roster, and no Web API or Data Dictionary certification, OData $metadata document, or Universal Property Identifier usage was observed. No open, unlicensed dataset is published. The underlying listings reach the platform through licensed channels — CREA MLS trademark attribution appears in the site footer and listing media is served from cdn.repliers.io, the CDN of the licensed MLS data vendor Repliers, whose own developer guide names "Pine (formerly Properly)" as a customer — which is a brokerage and vendor licensing posture, not anything a third-party developer can sign up for.
Properly is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Real-Estate, Canada, Property Listings, MLS, and Valuation.
Properly’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 7 more developer resources.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/properly: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

imageNote: The `image` property was removed on 2026-08-26. It had been copied verbatim out of a bootstrap template and pointed
at an icon belonging to groq, not to this company. That asset returns HTTP 200, so the record rendered another company's
brand rather than a broken image, which is why it went unreported (roadmap#153). No correct icon has been sourced yet. Shipping
the wrong company's mark is worse than shipping none; re-run the icon backfill once a real asset exists.
