Compared to a brokerage charging 5%. Commission structures vary between brokerages.
Are your listings on MLS® and REALTOR.ca?
Absolutely.
Your home receives the same online exposure as it would with any traditional brokerage.
Every listing includes:
Your local MLS® Board
REALTOR.ca
Thousands of syndicated real estate websites
Your property is seen by every active buyer and every licensed REALTOR®. The only difference is the amount of equity you keep when the deal closes.
How does the Buyer's Agent get paid?
Yes, the total commission includes compensation for the Buyer's Agent.
For homes between $400,000 and $900,000, the $9,950 commission is divided as follows:
$4,500 to the Listing Brokerage
$4,500 to the Buyer's Brokerage
$950 toward marketing and administrative expenses
For homes over $900,000, the commission is split evenly:
0.5% to the Listing Brokerage
0.5% to the Buyer's Brokerage
Plus the standard $950 expense fee.
Are there any upfront fees?
None at all.
Just like a traditional brokerage, I only get paid when your home sells.
I cover all marketing costs, MLS® listing fees, photography, and administrative expenses upfront.
If your home doesn't sell, you owe me nothing.
My success is completely tied to yours.
Will other agents show One Percent Realty listings?
Absolutely.
More than 80% of our listings are sold by cooperating agents from other brokerages.
Here's why:
Buyer Demand
Today's buyers find homes online through REALTOR.ca and ask their agents to schedule showings.
Competitive Buyer Agent Commission
Buyer agents receive competitive compensation through our commission structure.
Professional Responsibility
Licensed REALTORS® have a legal and ethical duty to show properties that best meet their clients' needs regardless of the listing brokerage.
The Bottom Line
Agents want to help their buyers purchase the right home—and that includes One Percent Realty listings.
Does One Percent Realty work?
Absolutely.
Thousands of Canadians have already discovered they don't need to sacrifice their equity to receive premium real estate service.
Homes sell because of:
Maximum exposure
Professional presentation
Realistic pricing
Effective marketing
Paying a higher commission doesn't make buyers love your home any more.
Instead, you receive:
Full MLS® exposure
REALTOR.ca visibility
Professional marketing
Experienced representation
Thousands of dollars in commission savings
It isn't simply a discount.
It's a smarter way to sell.
How does the $9,950 commission break down?
Transparency is one of the cornerstones of my business.
For homes priced between $400,000 and $900,000:
$4,500 – Listing Agent (David Saunders)
$4,500 – Buyer's Agent
$950 – Office fees, MLS®, administration, and marketing
Best of all—you pay nothing until your home sells.
Traditional brokerages spend enormous amounts of money prospecting for new business.
Our business model focuses on efficiency and volume instead of expensive self-promotion.
We pass those savings directly to our clients.
What do you mean by "Full-Service Real Estate?"
It means I handle everything from start to finish.
You receive the same professional representation as you would from a traditional brokerage—the only difference is the amount you save.
My Full-Service Commitment includes:
Maximum MLS® and REALTOR.ca exposure
Professional photography
For Sale signage
Secure lockbox installation
Coordinated showings
Digital marketing
Open houses (when appropriate)
Buyer inquiries and screening
Expert negotiation
Contract preparation
Closing coordination
Ongoing communication throughout the process

You keep more of your equity.
