Selling in Vancouver

West Side detached sellers usually face a buyer pool of builders and families, and the listing has to speak to both: lot size, zoning and a builder's view of the site, plus the house itself. Downtown condo sellers compete with presale inventory, so pricing against recent resales in the same building matters more than any marketing.

Where the saving comes from

On a $1,166,000 sale at the common BC rate (7% on the first $100,000, 2.5% on the rest), total commission is about $33,650 before GST. The buyer's brokerage gets about $15,479; the listing side keeps about $18,171. Our partner gives you half of the listing side back by charging less: about $9,086.

We do not cut the buyer agent's share. Agents notice reduced co-op commissions, and fewer showings cost more than any discount saves.
