Buying a home shouldn’t need a relay.
People should be able to buy and sell homes directly, with better software doing the coordination.
A few parts of a sale need a professional. Most of it is coordination.
Listings, messages, showings, offers and the record of who agreed to what — that’s software. Title and legal advice belong with your lawyer. We built the software.
You choose who helps, and for what. CLOSR gives you the questions; you give the answers.
Where CLOSR stops.
And where you, and your lawyer, start.
Technology platform, not an agent
CLOSR builds and operates the software: listings, verification, messaging, offers, e-signing and the transaction record. It doesn’t act as anyone’s agent or give real estate advice.
Yours at every step
CLOSR prompts the questions worth asking. What you list for, what you offer and what you accept is up to you.
Title and closing
Each party’s own lawyer, chosen by them and not by CLOSR, handles title transfer and closing.
Verification before showings and offers
Buyers pass an ID check before they book a showing or make a formal offer; sellers pass one before their listing goes live. A person at CLOSR reviews each listing before it’s published.
Electronic signature
Accepted offers are signed electronically in the app.
One append-only record
Every listing, message, offer and condition lives in a single record. Added to, never quietly edited after the fact.
Never held by CLOSR
CLOSR doesn’t take or hold buyers’ or sellers’ money.
Founded in Calgary, built by its founders.
CLOSR began in 2025 with Shehryar’s vision, shared with Ahmed, to make buying and selling homes more direct, transparent, and fair.
As Founder & CEO, Shehryar leads the company’s strategy, product, and design. In 2026, Ahmed Iqbal joined as Co-founder & CTO, leading the engineering and technical development of the platform.
Both founders are University of Calgary alumni, bringing together backgrounds in business, law, and engineering to build technology that puts greater control in the hands of Canadian homeowners.

The ones people ask.
No. CLOSR is a software platform. It doesn’t act as an agent or give real estate advice. Buyer and seller deal with each other directly, and each keeps their own lawyer for title and closing.
It runs the software side of a sale, all in one record: listings, verification, messaging, showings, offers, conditions and e-signing.
Nothing changes about how CLOSR works. Any fee for their agent is between them and their agent.
CLOSR is opening in Calgary first, then the rest of Alberta.
