Honest Advice

No gimmicks. No pressure. Just straightforward advice focused on getting you the best possible outcome.

My Communication Guarantee

The #1 complaint homeowners have about real estate agents is a lack of communication.

I am changing that.

I believe communication is the key to a successful sale. When we work together, you hear from me a minimum of once a week, usually much more often. You will never be left wondering about the status of your home or the latest feedback from buyers.

Real estate doesn't happen 9-to-5, and neither do I.

I am available to my clients seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

Whether you prefer a traditional phone call, a quick text, an email, or a WhatsApp message—I respond to them all.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you charge to sell my home?

My commission structure is simple, transparent, and designed to save you thousands of dollars in equity. Unlike traditional brokerages that charge 5%, I offer three clear tiers based on your home's value.

Homes under $400,000

• Flat rate of $7,950 + HST

Homes from $400,000 to $900,000

• Flat rate of $9,950 + HST

Homes over $900,000

• 1% of the sale price + $950 + HST

Note: All commissions include compensation for the Buyer's Agent ($3,500 for Tier A, $4,500 for Tier B, and 0.5% for Tier C).

Commission Savings

Compared to a brokerage charging 5%. Commission structures vary between brokerages.

Are your listings on MLS® and REALTOR.ca?

Absolutely.

Your home receives the same online exposure as it would with any traditional brokerage.

Every listing includes:

• Your local MLS® Board
• REALTOR.ca
• Thousands of syndicated real estate websites

Your property is seen by every active buyer and every licensed REALTOR®. The only difference is the amount of equity you keep when the deal closes.

How does the Buyer's Agent get paid?

Yes, the total commission includes compensation for the Buyer's Agent.

For homes between $400,000 and $900,000, the $9,950 commission is divided as follows:

• $4,500 to the Listing Brokerage
• $4,500 to the Buyer's Brokerage
• $950 toward marketing and administrative expenses

For homes over $900,000, the commission is split evenly:

• 0.5% to the Listing Brokerage
• 0.5% to the Buyer's Brokerage
• Plus the standard $950 expense fee.

Are there any upfront fees?

None at all.

Just like a traditional brokerage, I only get paid when your home sells.

I cover all marketing costs, MLS® listing fees, photography, and administrative expenses upfront.

If your home doesn't sell, you owe me nothing.

My success is completely tied to yours.

Will other agents show One Percent Realty listings?

Absolutely.

More than 80% of our listings are sold by cooperating agents from other brokerages.

Here's why:

Buyer Demand

Today's buyers find homes online through REALTOR.ca and ask their agents to schedule showings.

Competitive Buyer Agent Commission

Buyer agents receive competitive compensation through our commission structure.

Professional Responsibility

Licensed REALTORS® have a legal and ethical duty to show properties that best meet their clients' needs regardless of the listing brokerage.

The Bottom Line

Agents want to help their buyers purchase the right home—and that includes One Percent Realty listings.

Does One Percent Realty work?

Absolutely.

Thousands of Canadians have already discovered they don't need to sacrifice their equity to receive premium real estate service.

Homes sell because of:

• Maximum exposure
• Professional presentation
• Realistic pricing
• Effective marketing

Paying a higher commission doesn't make buyers love your home any more.

Instead, you receive:

• Full MLS® exposure
• REALTOR.ca visibility
• Professional marketing
• Experienced representation
• Thousands of dollars in commission savings

It isn't simply a discount.

It's a smarter way to sell.

How does the $9,950 commission break down?

Transparency is one of the cornerstones of my business.

For homes priced between $400,000 and $900,000:

• $4,500 – Listing Agent (David Saunders)
• $4,500 – Buyer's Agent
• $950 – Office fees, MLS®, administration, and marketing

Best of all—you pay nothing until your home sells.

Traditional brokerages spend enormous amounts of money prospecting for new business.

Our business model focuses on efficiency and volume instead of expensive self-promotion.

We pass those savings directly to our clients.

What do you mean by "Full-Service Real Estate?"

It means I handle everything from start to finish.

You receive the same professional representation as you would from a traditional brokerage—the only difference is the amount you save.

My Full-Service Commitment includes:

• Maximum MLS® and REALTOR.ca exposure
• Professional photography
• For Sale signage
• Secure lockbox installation
• Coordinated showings
• Digital marketing
• Open houses (when appropriate)
• Buyer inquiries and screening

• Contract preparation
• Closing coordination

You keep more of your equity.
