The 1% deal
At One Percent Realty, we believe sellers should keep more of their hard earned equity, and offer a simple and transparent commission model that works.
You want full service on MLS® from a professional real estate salesperson at a competitive commission — that's One Percent Realty.
Our agents offer a simple commission option, including listing commissions of up to 1% and cooperating broker commissions of up to 1%. Commission terms are negotiated with your agent at the time of listing and may vary depending on the agent you choose.
Your property receives full MLS® exposure, and we work cooperatively with other real estate brokerages to maximize market exposure and buyer interest.
Our fully licensed sales professionals are members of their local MLS® real estate board enabling them to properly market your property both on REALTOR.CA and their local MLS® system for maximum exposure to potential Buyers. Our real estate agents provide the same real estate services they would if they charged you a higher real estate commission, the only difference is they charge you less, way less. It's the best deal in town, why pay more to sell your home?

*Compared with a broker charging 7% on the first $100,000 and 2.5% on the balance; not all brokers charge the same. Commission terms are negotiated with your agent at the time of listing and may vary depending on the agent you choose.
If your home is well kept, and priced accurately, it will sell — it has no relationship with the amount of commission you pay. With the help of technology like the Internet, cell phones and electronic signing, One Percent Realty reduced the typical real estate office overhead and leveraged the productivity of its agents to build a successful discount-commission business model. Our agents earn less per house sold, but make it up in volume. It works great for us, and it works great for our sellers — the more deals we do, the more money we save our clients.
The simple answer is yes. Our MLS® listings are shown, and sold, by lots of cooperating REALTORS® all of the time. Over 80% of our listing sales are sold by cooperating REALTORS® representing the Buyer, which is in line with industry standards. That is the proof in the pudding that our system works great.
Why is that? The most important reason other agents cooperate and sell our listings is that it is the Buyers who are dictating the shots these days. When a Buyer finds their dream home, they don't ask how much commission is being paid — they care about the bedrooms, bathrooms, location, schools, and the price.
If you are thinking about selling your home, call the agent you used last time — but this time, also call us to compare our services and commission rates. Being full-service agents, we provide free, no-obligation market evaluations just like the other guys. Let us tell you exactly what we will do to sell your home. You and your hard-earned equity will be glad you did.
