Setlume. Real Estate, Clearly Closed.Request quotes

How it works

A private, reviewed quote workflow for BC closings.

Setlume is built for the messy middle between consumer intake and provider quote response. The first MVP keeps humans in the loop and avoids public price-board dynamics.

Step by step

From request to quote comparison

Five steps, with a human review in the middle. No open inboxes, no public bidding.

  1. Step 01
    Consumer submits a request
    The intake captures contact details, transaction type, location, closing date, complexity flags, and provider preferences.
  2. Step 02
    Setlume reviews the file
    The MVP is concierge-backed. The request is checked for completeness, seriousness, and matching context.
  3. Step 03
    Selected providers receive a private quote request
    Setlume sends secure quote-response links to a small set of suitable lawyers or notaries.
  4. Step 04
    Providers submit fee breakdowns
    Each response includes fees, assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, timing, and a short value proposition.
  5. Step 05
    Consumer receives private quotes
    Quotes are displayed through Setlume so consumers can compare scope and fit, not only the final number.

Why it is built this way

Designed for fit, not lowest price

Setlume helps you weigh scope, assumptions, responsiveness, and provider fit alongside the estimated cost.

Private by default
Quotes are not public marketplace listings.
Fit-aware review
Matching considers file complexity, location, and service style.
Provider context
Providers can explain assumptions and communication approach.

Common questions

Questions about the process

Is Setlume a public price-board?

No. Your request and quotes stay private. Selected providers receive a scoped link to your file, and there is no public listing or open bidding.

How many providers will see my request?

A small set chosen for fit, not a mass blast. The MVP is concierge-reviewed, so matching is deliberate rather than automated.

Can I still choose my own lawyer or notary?

Yes. Setlume helps you compare, but the choice is yours. You engage and pay your chosen provider directly for their services.

Does Setlume give legal advice?

No. Setlume offers comparison and intake support only. Your chosen provider is responsible for their professional services.
