Ownright, rebranded from Doormat in 2025, offers a digital real-estate law service that combines automation with expert legal guidance to simplify property closings, mortgage refinancing, and condo status certificate reviews. The company emphasizes a client-first, transparent experience with remote document uploads, real-time tracking, and access to legal experts. Launched in 2023, Ownright has grown from three founders to 19 full-time employees and has facilitated over a thousand transactions. It has processed over $750 million in transaction value and is on track to surpass $1 billion by the end of 2025. The rebrand and product updates introduce a modernized digital experience and friendlier brand identity intended to expand reach to homebuyers, agents, mortgage brokers, and PropTech partners. The company plans to use new investment to accelerate growth, expand technological capabilities, and enhance the client experience. Doormat is an online legal-services platform serving homeowners, buyers, and sellers in Ontario. The company combines proptech and legaltech to let clients communicate, negotiate, and complete transactions, covering home buying and selling, mortgage refinancing, and property ownership changes. Its platform emphasizes transparency, simplicity, and a digital-first closing experience that clients can access from home. The founding team includes CEO and co-founder Robert Saunders and began with a software engineer, a real estate lawyer, and an operations executive. Doormat conducted a bilingual Angus Reid survey of over 1,500 Canadians showing 82% believe technology is necessary to improve real estate transactions and 63% would be comfortable using an online real-estate lawyer (71% among 18–34s). The company says the new capital will be used to grow the team and expand its presence throughout Ontario and beyond.
