Same service. A lower listing commission.

An apples-to-apples look at what a seller pays at a 2% listing rate versus a higher-commission offer. Real estate commissions in Alberta are negotiable.

At the listing table

Same service. A lower listing commission. Who do you think signs?

Put us side by side with a higher-commission offer at a seller's kitchen table. The marketing plan is the same. The exposure is the same. The support is the same. The main difference is what it costs the client to hire us. Commissions in Alberta are always negotiable between REALTOR® and client.

On the same $500,000 sale, a 2% listing fee is $10,000 — same service delivered. *Commissions are negotiable in Alberta; 2% is the rate we typically offer.

Apples to apples

When the deliverables are identical and the price is lower, the client-focused offer often wins the listing.

That's the whole thesis. More sellers say yes, more listings get signed, more transactions close — and because our agents keep the majority of every commission, more listings at a lower rate can still mean a stronger paycheque than fewer listings at a higher one.
