Ownright Launches Developer Platform to Power Canadian Proptechs

This new platform enables proptechs to integrate Ownright’s trusted legal services directly into their products, improving transaction speed, transparency, and client experience

Ownright, Ontario’s trusted legaltech company for real estate transactions, today announced the launch of the Ownright Developer Platform, a suite of APIs and tools that allows proptech companies to embed legal closing services directly into their platforms. By opening up its infrastructure, Ownright is empowering developers to build seamless, client-first closing experiences at scale.

As Canada’s proptech market continues its rapid expansion, expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.6% from 2023 to 2030, the need for interoperable, scalable solutions has never been more urgent. The Ownright Developer Platform offers exactly that, a foundational infrastructure that allows forward-thinking real estate companies to deliver more cohesive client experiences, streamline operations, and build innovative digital workflows around real estate closings.

“Buying a home is one of the biggest moments in someone’s life, and we want to make that experience better, not just through Ownright, but by supporting the platforms people already trust,” said Robert Saunders, co-founder and CEO of Ownright. “This launch is about helping our partners grow by giving them the tools to build smoother, more transparent closing experiences right into their products. We’re proud to play a meaningful role in shaping a more seamless homeownership journey for Canadians.”

With the Ownright Developer Platform, proptech companies can seamlessly embed trusted legal services into their products. This plug-and-play infrastructure streamlines operations, reduces manual work, and provides real-time visibility into transactions, helping partners scale faster and deliver a transparent, digital-first experience to users.

What’s included in the Ownright Developer Platform?

• Refer clients instantly: Trigger legal service handoffs with a single API call with no manual coordination required.
• Track closing status in real time: Monitor the full closing journey via API and keep your users in the loop with up-to-date timelines and statuses.
• Receive webhook notifications: Get automatic alerts as key events happen, like when a transaction closes, so your platform stays in sync without polling or delays.

"As a tech-first real estate brokerage, Buy.ca values seamless communication and digital efficiency - areas where Ownright truly excels,” said Senthu Velnayagam, co-founder and CEO of Buy.ca. “In an industry often slowed by outdated processes, their transparent and user-friendly closing experience has been a breath of fresh air for our team, agents, and clients. Now, with the launch of their developer portal, we can integrate Ownright directly into Buy.ca’s search platform and enhance our planned client portal. We're very excited about this update as it will empower our clients with timely access to critical information and resources, and help us build an even better client experience."

This launch reinforces Ownright’s broader mission to simplify the homeownership journey by making real estate transactions more accessible, transparent, and efficient. By empowering partners with easy-to-integrate legal solutions, Ownright is not only enhancing the closing experience for buyers, sellers, and agents but also driving a digital transformation that benefits the entire Canadian real estate ecosystem.
