Burnaby resale condo sellers compete directly with nearby presales. Buyers will compare your unit to a new building two blocks away with a warranty. Price against same-building sales, highlight what new buildings cannot offer (larger layouts, lower strata fees, no wait), and be clear about the depreciation report.
Where the saving comes from
On a $948,000 sale at the common BC rate (7% on the first $100,000, 2.5% on the rest), total commission is about $28,200 before GST. The buyer's brokerage gets about $12,972; the listing side keeps about $15,228. Our partner gives you half of the listing side back by charging less: about $7,614.
We do not cut the buyer agent's share. Agents notice reduced co-op commissions, and fewer showings cost more than any discount saves.
