Whether you are planning to sell your real estate in Toronto, Montreal  or any where else in Canada, the fee you have to pay for the services of a realtor can be substantial. Most will charge a percentage of the sale price and if the realtors didn’t do their job well enough, that price won’t be anywhere near what you had hoped for when you put your property on the market.

Perhaps you are thinking to buy home or investment real estate and are hoping to get a good deal. The MLS listings should give you accurate details about the property you wish to view, but the realtor a seller has chosen should also be able to give buyers information about the neighbourhood, the amenities like shopping, leisure facilities and any schools the buyers’ children might want to go to.

If you are thinking to sell home or investment real estate you’ll need to make sure that you choose a reputable listing or realtor to conduct your business.

Fortunately the sellers in Canada now have a choice to  have access to MLS without having to pay hefty fees.  A seller can opt for a full service MLS or go for a Flat Fee MLS and  pay for only those services that he needs.

A flat fee MLS basis is a good start to keep costs down and getting a better financial result at the end of the sale. Lower real estate fees and commissions may be offered by a number of companies, but it is important that your decision isn’t just based on saving costs alone.

A reputable and experienced company will prepare the best possible MLS listing for their client, irrespective of the fee package their client has chosen. Any subsequent marketing campaign should reflect the commitment to their clients, even when the seller has agreed to pay a flat fee or just a 1% commission at the end of the sale. A realtor who is purely motivated by the fee they get will lose thousands of dollars for their client, since they couldn’t care less what the property sells for as long as they just get their fee.

A reputable company bears in mind that you may well wish to sell another property in the future – and that you will choose a different realtor to do so, if you’re dissatisfied with the original service you received.

There are a number of different fee packages available and you should shop around, which one will suit you best in the long run.
