FIND OUT EVERYTHING ABOUT COMMISSIONS
In Quebec, real estate brokerage is regulated by the OACIQ which delimits the spheres of operation of the sector. Thus, the broker is paid by commission and the said commission is between 4 and 5% of the value of the sale price of the house. Provincial and federal taxes are also added to this amount. This commission is payable upon sale of the property only.
It is not just a commission, because by having a broker at your side to look after your personal interests, you provide yourself with assurance, peace of mind and time to go about your business.
With your broker you get :
1) GET THE RIGHT PRICE
With cutting-edge tools that provide access to all properties sold on the market, this allows us to carry out an in-depth comparative analysis of the market in order to provide you with a selling price for your home that is real, fair and complies with what is happening in the market in your sector.
With it, you maximize your chances of selling your property as quickly as possible.
2) REMAIN CONFIDENT WITH LEGAL DOCUMENTS
The real estate broker informs you of all the steps to follow and supports you, step by step. He checks all the details relating to the description of your property and completes a clear and precise description sheet. It completes the seller's declaration with you: additional protection for you. It tells you the documents you must have on hand for the real estate transaction to go smoothly. You have the assurance that the notarized transaction will not be delayed due to a missing document, saving you time and hassle.
3) MAXIMIZE ITS VISIBILITY AND ITS TRAFFIC
The real estate broker displays your property in the Centris broker system and on various consumer sites. Your house or condo therefore benefits from unparalleled visibility:
- The nearly 13,000 brokers in Quebec and their buying clients;
- A presence on Centris.ca, the site with the largest number of properties for sale in Quebec.
- Added to this are all the local publication campaigns and social media.
4) Benefit from professional protections
The real estate broker bears responsibility for the real estate transaction.
It is subject to the Real Estate Brokerage Act, complies with the requirements of the Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage régional du Québec, contributes to the Real Estate Brokerage Compensation Fund and takes out professional liability insurance.
Doing business with a real estate broker to sell your property means teaming up with a professional who will be able to advise you well.
