The commission for a real estate transaction is often referred to as the payment that real estate agents receive for their services. Usually, the seller pays the commission fees which are then split between the buyer agent and the listing agent.
Commission rates and splits vary depending on agents and areas. An example for a commission rate can be 7% on the initial $100,000 of a property’s price plus 2.5% on the remaining balance. Additionally, commission rates can often be negotiated.
A real estate agent, whether they are acting as a buyer agent or seller agent, will usually receive commission upon completion date.
In most cases, the seller of a property will hold responsibility for paying the entire commission fee. The commission fee will then be split between the buyer agent and listing agent in a predetermined structure. Hence, if you are a buyer looking to purchase a property, you do not need to pay any commission fees to your agent.
There is no standard commission rate across Canada, therefore rates can often be negotiated. It is important to consult an agent with extensive knowledge on specific target markets, market factors, marketing styles, and positive client reviews. During the first meeting, it is expected that the realtor will be clear in answering any questions you may have.
For example: let’s assume the sales price of a property is $1,000,000. So for the first $100,000 commission of 7% is $7,000 and for the remaining balance of $9,000,000 commission calculated as 2.5% which is going to be $22,500. So in total the amount of $29,500 is realtors’ commission and adding 5% GST to this commission, Realtors will receive $30,975 from Developers as a commission fee of the sales transaction.
