Real estate commissions are usually based on the property’ selling price. And although there are no fixed rates, a commission split between the selling and listing broker is common.

The Competition Act states that there is no standard or fixed commission rate for real estate firms. As a realtor, I take pride in offering full service brokerage to my clients. In exchange for the premier real estate service that I provide, I only charge 7 percent on the initial $100K, and 3% on the succeeding balance of the property’s sale price.

Legal fees charged by notaries and lawyers for the sale or transfer of a property usually range around $850 to $1,000 plus 12 percent HST.
