Can I use Yasnify reports in client presentations?

Yes. The Pro plan ($39/mo) includes branded PDF exports with your name and contact info. The Team plan ($149/mo) adds co-branding for brokerages. Reports cite official City of Edmonton, Edmonton Police Service, and Alberta Education data sources, so they are suitable for professional client-facing use.

How do I compare multiple properties side-by-side?

Pro and Team plans include the side-by-side comparison feature. Run reports on 2–4 properties, then open the comparison view to see crime, permits, schools, and flood zones in one table. It is most useful for CMA prep and neighbourhood analysis.

What's the difference between Free and Pro for REALTORS®?

Free includes 5 reports per month with no credit card and no branding — good for personal use or trying the product. Pro ($39/mo) includes 75 reports per month, branded PDFs, side-by-side comparison, and up to 20 property alerts. Most agents who use Yasnify for client-facing deliverables choose Pro.

Can I verify seller disclosures with Yasnify?

Yes. If a seller claims a finished basement was permitted, Yasnify shows all City building permits on record since 2009. If a seller says the property has never flooded, you can check the City's flood zone overlays. If a seller calls the neighbourhood quiet, you can review EPS crime data and 311 complaints in the surrounding area. Always verify against the original sources cited in the report.

Use cases

How Edmonton REALTORS®, investors & buyers use Yasnify

Realistic scenarios showing how property professionals and buyers use Yasnify reports to flag hidden risks, verify due diligence, win listings, and close deals with confidence. These are educational examples based on typical Edmonton property research workflows — not customer testimonials.

REALTOR® scenario

Winning a $1.2M listing with pre-listing due diligence

Buyer's agentSingle-family home, RiverbendOutcome: seller chose the agent with the best market prep

The situation

A seller in Riverbend interviews three agents for a $1.2M listing. Two agents pitch standard marketing. The third arrives with a Yasnify report already run on the property.

What the agent did

Pre-listing research: ran a Yasnify report before the listing appointment to surface likely buyer objections.
Red flag discovery: found a 2018 basement development permit with no final inspection on record — a common deal-killer during buyer due diligence.
Proactive recommendation: advised the seller to request a final inspection from the City before listing, avoiding last-minute surprises during the buyer's inspection period.
Competitive advantage: arrived more prepared than competing agents, demonstrating thoroughness and market knowledge.

The outcome

The seller chose the agent who identified the permit issue upfront. The property was listed with the basement permit resolved and sold quickly, with no buyer contingencies related to unpermitted work.

Key insight

Pre-listing Yasnify reports help REALTORS® catch deal-killers before listing, position themselves as thorough professionals, and avoid the last-minute surprises that collapse transactions.

Yasnify features used

Building permit history (City of Edmonton records since 2009)

Investor scenario

Avoiding a $40K mistake: flood zone discovery before purchase

Real estate investorDuplex, CloverdaleOutcome: deal cancelled, flood insurance trap avoided

The situation

An investor finds a $450K duplex in Cloverdale listed as an income property with strong rental demand. The MLS® listing photos show mature trees and river valley proximity. The investor submits an offer pending inspection.

What the investor did

Due diligence research: ran a Yasnify report during the inspection period, before the offer became firm.
Red flag discovery: the property sits inside a 100-year floodplain overlay from the City of Edmonton's flood mitigation mapping.
Insurance investigation: called three insurance brokers — all declined flood coverage or quoted premiums several times higher than normal.
ROI calculation: the extra annual insurance cost turned the rental into a cash-flow negative property.
Decision: cancelled the offer inside the inspection period — no deposit lost.

The outcome

The investor walked away from a deal that would have been cash-flow negative due to flood insurance costs. The MLS® listing didn't mention floodplain status — Yasnify surfaced it in seconds.

Key insight

Flood zones aren't always disclosed in MLS® listings. For income properties, flood insurance costs can destroy ROI. Yasnify surfaces City GIS overlays that directly affect insurability and cash flow.

Yasnify features used

Flood zone overlay mapping (100-year floodplain, surface ponding)
Fire hydrant proximity (an insurance premium factor)
Property assessment data to sanity-check rental income potential

Homebuyer scenario

Choosing between two neighbourhoods with crime data

First-time homebuyerMill Woods vs SummersideOutcome: informed neighbourhood choice

The situation

A first-time buyer is shopping with a $450K budget. Two final contenders: similar homes in Mill Woods ($440K) and Summerside ($455K). Square footage, schools, and transit access are roughly comparable.

What the buyer did

Side-by-side comparison: ran Yasnify reports on both addresses using the Pro plan comparison view.
Crime data analysis: the Mill Woods address showed materially more EPS incidents in the surrounding 1 km radius over the prior 12 months than the Summerside address.
Crime type breakdown: the Mill Woods area skewed toward property crime (vehicle theft, break-ins); Summerside skewed toward disorder calls.
311 complaint comparison: Mill Woods had more complaints tied to abandoned vehicles and encampments than Summerside.
School ratings: both addresses had comparably rated schools within a reasonable distance.

The outcome

The buyer chose the Summerside property despite the higher price. Lower crime density and fewer property-crime incidents offset the price difference for long-term peace of mind and resale value.

Key insight

EPS crime data is public but scattered across intersection-level reports. Yasnify aggregates crime in a 1 km radius for any address, breaks it down by type, and shows trends over time — exactly what you need for neighbourhood comparisons.

Yasnify features used

Side-by-side property comparison (Pro plan)
EPS crime data (daily updates, 1 km radius)
311 complaint tracking as a neighbourhood quality signal
School ratings from Alberta Education within walking distance

Brokerage scenario

Standardizing pre-listing research across 40 agents

Mid-size brokerageEnterprise workflow standardizationOutcome: hours saved per week, consistent due diligence

The situation

A mid-size Edmonton brokerage with 40 agents. Each agent manually checks City permits, EPS crime maps, school ratings, and flood zones for every listing appointment. The process takes 30–45 minutes per property and produces inconsistent quality across agents.

What the brokerage did

Team plan implementation: subscribed to the Yasnify Team plan ($149/mo, 300 pooled reports). Multi-seat invites are still in development; the brokerage runs reports from a single shared account in the meantime.
Workflow standardization: required every agent to run a Yasnify report before every listing appointment.
Co-branded PDFs: added the brokerage logo to Yasnify reports for professional client-facing deliverables.
Training: a one-hour workshop showing agents how to interpret crime data, permit red flags, and flood zones.

The outcome

Time savings: pre-listing research dropped from 30–45 minutes to about 5 minutes per property.
Consistency: all agents deliver the same standard of due diligence regardless of experience.
Client trust: sellers value thorough, data-driven market prep.
Deal velocity: fewer surprises during the buyer's due diligence means faster closes.

Key insight

Brokerages benefit from standardized due diligence workflows. The Yasnify Team plan gives every agent access to the same dataset, reducing variance in research quality and lowering liability.
