What this means in real numbers
On a $1,000,000 sale, 1% listing fee = $10,000 (+ HST). Buyer agent fee extra. When you purchase with me, you receive 1% of the purchase price as a post‑closing cashback (rebate), up to the commission earned.*

When you sell

  • Sign a standard listing agreement with a 1% listing commission (plus HST).
  • Agree on co‑operating compensation for the buyer’s agent (fully negotiable and disclosed).
  • Full‑service marketing: photos, video, floor plan, MLS + digital ads, open houses, and negotiation.

When you buy

  • We represent you exclusively — no multiple representation.

  • Provided via cheque or e‑transfer once funds have cleared and permitted by your lender/lawyer.

FAQ & fine print

Is 1% really full service?

Yes. You get strategic pricing, staging advice, pro media, MLS + digital marketing, open houses, private showings, and skilled negotiation. The difference is efficiency — not cutting corners.

What about the buyer agent commission when I sell?

That amount is separate and fully negotiable. We’ll agree on it in writing before listing and disclose it clearly on MLS as required.

How and when is the 1% cashback paid?

After your purchase closes and funds have cleared, I send your rebate by cheque or e‑transfer. Lender and legal approval may be required. Some transactions (e.g., certain pre‑construction or reduced co‑op compensation) may not qualify.

Is this compliant with RECO/CREA rules?

Yes — rebates and commission promotions are permitted in Ontario with proper disclosure and brokerage approval. All terms will be provided up front in writing and included in your agreements. This page isn’t legal advice.
