You don’t have to choose between saving money and getting full service—you can have both.
The 2% Realty Commission Model Explained
When you sell your home with 2% Realty, the total commission is:
✔️ 2% of the final sale price
That commission is typically divided as follows:
1% to the listing brokerage
1% offered to the buyer’s brokerage
This structure allows your home to be fully exposed on the MLS system, marketed to all buyers, and shown just like any other listing—while significantly reducing your overall selling costs.
Commissions Are Always Negotiable
It’s important to know that real estate commissions in Alberta are fully negotiable. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach.
With 2% Realty, sellers also have the flexibility to offer custom compensation to the buyer’s brokerage, depending on their goals and the market.
Some options include:
A flat fee offered to the buyer's brokerage
3.5% on the first $100,000 + 1.5% on the remainder
Or another structure tailored to your specific situation
This flexibility can help attract buyers while still keeping your overall costs lower than traditional models.
