When it’s time to list their homes, most sellers would agree that keeping as much money in their pockets as possible is top priority.
While there are a number of fees that can’t be avoided and are just part of any real estate transaction, for sellers there is one important exception they should know about.
If you are planning to list your home for sale, you’ll want to make sure to account for the following expenses:
- any repairs or renovations you need to make to the home
- home inspection costs
- cleaning fees, if needed
- professional staging expenses, if required
- moving expenses
- legal fees for your lawyer, as well as closing adjustment costs
- a mortgage discharge fee, if applicable, or prepayment penalties if you sell your home before the end of your mortgage term
- real estate commissions for your REALTOR® and sales tax on these commissions
It’s this last point that is key, because with Unreserved Brokerage sellers can save substantially on commission. They are Canada’s first brokerage to offer a flat seller fee of just $1,500—and this includes full service.
“Our proprietary technology simplifies the listing process for both the seller and the agent, and gets your home on Realtor.ca and Unreserved.com quickly and efficiently,” REALTOR® Didi Martin explains.
“At Unreserved, we pay our listing agents a premium salary so you don’t have to. Our zero-commission model for the listing can save you tens of thousands compared to traditional fees and you’re getting the same full service. You’ll reach millions of potential home buyers on Unreserved.com and Realtor.ca, and you will enjoy the highest level of service without the hefty price tag.”
The following services are all included for this incredible $1,500 flat fee:
- 24/7 agent support
- Home evaluation report
- Staging and design consultation
- Professional photography and videography
- Pricing and go to market strategy
- Full listing on Realtor.ca and Unreserved.com
- Marketing campaigns
- Open Houses, private showings
- For sale sign and lockbox
- Offer management and negotiation
- Closing assistance
Martin provides an example to illustrate the difference. “Let’s take a $500,000 sale, for example. A 5% commission would cost the sellers $28,250 ($25,000+HST). Now with Unreserved that exact same sale would cost the sellers $1,500 + $12,500 = $14,000+HST.”
This means homeowners no longer have to part with such a substantial amount of money when selling their homes, yet they still receive a long list of comprehensive, personally tailored services every step of the way. This allows them to keep more of the hard-earned equity they have built up in their homes.
“We want to put more money in your pocket,” she says. “It’s simple math.”
