$0 cost to you

Our fee comes out of the selling agent’s commission at settlement. Not your sale proceeds.

We’ll put that in writing before you sign anything. Acreage and lifestyle homes need a specialist. Fewer buyers and longer campaigns mean the wrong agent can cost you months.

Who is the best real estate agent in Forest Glen?

It depends on your property. The agent who sells the most in Forest Glen isn’t always the best fit for your home. We look at each agent’s recent sales of homes like yours, the prices they got against appraisal and how long they took. Then we recommend a shortlist.

Your main costs are agent commission, marketing and legal fees. They vary a lot between agents. We compare them for you and negotiate commission and campaign spend before you sign.

Yes. We can manage your sale and act as your buyer’s agent on your next home, so the timing lines up.

How do you get paid?

The selling agent pays our fee from their commission at settlement. It doesn’t come out of your sale proceeds, and we disclose the arrangement in writing before you sign anything.
