Frequently Asked Questions

If you’d like to learn more, feel free to email me. 

Why don’t you charge 2.5% like many traditional agents?

I believe real estate fees should reflect the actual work involved—not simply the value of your home. Two homes with similar values can require very different amounts of time, expertise, and capital to sell. My flat-fee model is designed to be fair, transparent, and based on logic rather than tradition.

Why don't you just charge 1%?

I’m not a discount agent. My goal is to provide value, not the cheapest price possible. Many 1% agents apply the same reduced percentage to every listing. My approach is more precise. I quote you like a contractor—based on the actual work involved. In many instances this may end up being less than 1%, in some instances it could be over 2%.

Why do you use flat fees instead of percentages?

Percentages can overcharge sellers simply because home values have increased. A flat fee aligns compensation more closely with the real work required to market and negotiate the sale of your property.

Are your rates negotiable?

No. The fee I quote is my firm price based on the scope of work involved. I do not undercut my value, but I work hard to ensure my pricing is fair from the outset. This is the same disciplined approach I bring to negotiating on behalf of my clients.

Who are your services best suited for?

My model is ideal for homeowners who value transparency, appreciate logical pricing, and want full-service representation while preserving more of their hard-earned equity.

Why should I use a Realtor instead of buying/selling on my own?

A realtor provides market expertise, professional contract negotiation, and handles complex paperwork to protect your legal interests. Under modern frameworks like TRESA (Trust in Real Estate Services Act), working with a licensed professional ensures consumer protection, code of conduct compliance, and access to a massive network of active buyers and sellers via the MLS system.

What brokerage do you work for?

I work for Right at Home Realty, Newmarket branch. 

Right at Home Realty is one of the largest independent real estate brokerages in Canada, boasting a network of over 12,000 real estate professionals.

Are your fees dictated by your brokerage?

While I am proud to be registered with Right at Home Realty, the flat-fee rates, buyer protection programs, and rebates I offer are my own independent services. Right at Home provides the professional flexibility that allows me to offer these tailored financial solutions, while fully ensuring all my marketing and fee structures strictly comply with RECO guidelines.
