The Truth About “1%” Listings
Many real estate teams across the GTA and Durham Region advertise a 1% commission, but the real cost usually reveals itself only after sellers dig into the fine print. In most cases, that “1%” applies to just a portion of the transaction, leaving homeowners responsible for additional commissions that bring the total back up—sometimes even higher than traditional models. Even more frustrating, key services like staging, premium marketing, or advanced advertising are often excluded, meaning sellers end up paying more or receiving less than expected. The headline rate rarely reflects the true cost.
At COMFLEX Realty, serving Bowmanville, Clarington, and all of Durham Region, we believe homeowners deserve better. From the very first conversation, we’re upfront about what you’re paying, what’s included, and what actually helps sell your home for the highest possible price. No hidden fees, no confusing asterisks, no awkward conversations later. Just clear, transparent real estate done properly.
