FULL SERVICE HOME MARKETING
There is no standard fee for real estate agents operating in Canada; sellers can pay anything from 1% to 15% for real estate selling services. The most important thing to keep in mind is that old adage " You get what you pay for".
Typically realtors that belong to full service brokerages charge 7% of the first $100,000 and 2.5% of the remainder. This commision amount is shared between the selling agent and the buying agent. For instance a selling agent that charges his seller 7% - 2.5% may offer the buying agent 3% of the first $100,000 and 1% of the remainder on the sale of a home, or a similar amount depending on the realtor. Given that the selling realtor bears all or most of the costs of listing, advertising, title search fees and showing and open house expenses, it is considered fair that the selling realtor should retain more than half of the selling commisions
