1. Standard Commission Plan

  • Fee: 2.5% + HST (typically covered via the seller's co-operating commission offer).

  • Best For: Buyers looking for traditional representation with zero upfront costs.

2. Flexible Hybrid Plan

  • Fee: $1,500 retainer + 2.0% + HST upon closing.

  • Best For: Buyers seeking a lower commission rate at closing in exchange for an upfront initial fee.
