Hyyve, the innovative Canadian real estate marketplace where agents bid for the opportunity to sell a home, has announced a strategic partnership with Ownright (formerly Doormat), a leading digital legal platform for homebuyers and sellers. This collaboration streamlines the final steps of the home-selling process – ensuring a seamless, efficient, and cost-effective closing experience.
The Hyyve–Ownright integration is scheduled for the end of Q2 2025, further strengthening Hyyve’s end-to-end real estate marketplace. Ownright joins Frank Mortgage, iCommission, AI Home Design, and Bidmii as part of Hyyve’s rapidly expanding home services ecosystem – reinforcing the platform’s mission to simplify the home-selling journey from listing to legal closing.
Hyyve is transforming how homes are sold in Canada through a competitive bidding marketplace where qualified real estate agents offer upfront cash and showcase their full value – credentials, regulatory board compliance, client reviews, and tailored marketing plans – to win the listing. This transparent, merit-based approach empowers sellers to choose the right representation while maximizing sale outcomes.
By integrating essential home services – including financing, renovations, agent commission advances, virtual staging, and now legal closings – Hyyve is setting a new standard for speed, efficiency, and customer experience in real estate.
Robert Saunders, CEO of Ownright, shared his thoughts: “Hyyve is redefining how real estate transactions happen, and Ownright is proud to be part of this evolution. By integrating our digital legal services with Hyyve’s real estate listing bid platform, we’re making the closing process smoother, faster, and more accessible for home sellers across Canada.”

BuiltAPI GmbH, the company pioneering API-driven data infrastructure for real estate investment and asset management, has successfully closed its latest funding round backed by industry leaders including Second Century Ventures, TDS, and Propertymark. The investment marks a major milestone as BuiltAPI expands its services across Europe and the UK, following its graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator Program.
BuiltAPI tackles one of the real estate sector’s most persistent problems: fragmented, siloed data ecosystems. The company provides a robust API framework that enables seamless connectivity between legacy systems, modern SaaS tools, and intelligent automation platforms — with interoperability, governance, and cybersecurity at its core.
“We’re building the backbone of real estate data infrastructure,” said Olga Dentzel, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “This funding and the support of the REACH UK program are accelerating our ability to deliver secure, scalable integrations to clients across borders.”
BuiltAPI’s technology is already making an impact with major real estate institutions such as HIH Real Estate and its fund service platform INTREAL, through their digital unit INTREAL Solutions. These collaborations highlight a shared vision for practical and scalable digital transformation in real estate asset and investment management.
“The industry doesn’t need yet another tool — it needs a connective tissue,” added Ivan Nokhrin, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “Our mission is to empower real estate professionals to access, share, and act on their data securely and without barriers.”
Graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator — the scale-up program backed by Second Century Ventures – marks BuiltAPI’s official entry into the UK market. The program has played a key role in unlocking investors support and refining BuildAPI’s growth trajectory.
