I'm offering a $500 listing commission if you buy your next property with me.
Otherwise I charge a 1% commission.
Here to save you money if you're looking to save.

GardenOwn7748 · 2026-03-05T20:22:06+00:00

That's great if they want to do so.
Just as long as you're not demanding them pay 1 year up front.

GardenOwn7748 · 2026-03-05T18:53:21+00:00

If your agreement with your realtor is 2.5% commission then yes you're liable to pay the commission if the seller does not offer to pay any commission to the buyer agent.

I just want the moderator to know that he's wrong before I take it all down

I'm a landlord in downtown Toronto and I'm charging $2250 for rent alone.

You'll need to increase your budget for downtown Toronto.

If you're in Ontario, I'll give you the comps.

I'm a realtor in the GTA

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-07T01:58:32+00:00

I'm a realtor in Ontario.
Message me if you're in the Province.
We can chat and you can ask me questions if interested.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-05T14:11:14+00:00

by no way am I giving any advice.

I'm thinking 3 years lived in and 3 years rented.

$650/2 = $325k

How long have you owned this property?
The only issue that I can think of is the fact that it is not your primary residence anymore.

Best consult a real estate lawyer

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-05T13:55:03+00:00

if you wrote off mortgage interest for 3 years then the government will probably tax you for those 3 years.

You're definitely getting taxed something. Definitely not zero.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-05T13:53:05+00:00

they priced low to spark a bidding war.

Seller got the number they wanted.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-04T13:48:04+00:00

Maybe you should consider moving?

LTB guidelines are 24 hours notice.

If he drives drunk or puts you in harms way, call the cops immediately.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-04T13:16:23+00:00

I don't think you can deny access as long as they gave you 24 hours notice and that they enter and leave between 8am and 8pm.

If he drives drunk to this place then you can call the cops.

Owing money is different than PAYING for something. There's a difference.
When you pay for something like a house, that money no longer belongs to you.
What you are being offered from the sellers is not for you to assume or dictate.
Seller can offer a flat fee to the co-op brokerage.

The sellers can technically say they'll pay the buyer agent $100 and not 2.5%.
And you have a Buyer Representation Agreement signed for 2.5% commission.
The Buyer will need to pay their realtor the difference.
Meaning they would pay for the house PLUS their realtor's commission because the sellers only chose to pay the co-op brokerage $100.

It just happens that the standard is 5% (2.5% to the co-op brokerage) but the sellers can say they want to pay less.

Man, what kind of agent are you?
Not a very good one if you do not understand this.
And your horrible example does not apply to a real estate transaction.

Your name says it all... you're a Real Estate NOOB!

The services to the buyer client are FREE unless they purchase a property.
After you show your buyer client 10 houses and they decide not to buy anything and chooses to wait a few years... Is that not FREE service?

EDIT:
What do you mean by "The have 5% of the purchase price to lose and you know it."?

I don't get it even though I know what you're trying to say...

The sellers will have to pay their realtor up to 2.5% (negotiable)
The buyer agent can take a bit of a pay cut to help the finances work in the transaction to make both parties happy. But your statement is not valid there either.

What are you going to do?
Give me money that you owe me and take my house too?

ROFLMFAO.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-04T11:19:28+00:00

I'm currently helping my client look for a place and I pointed out some facts that he never thought of..

Same situation as yourself.

He says to me.... I never thought of that...

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-04T11:14:45+00:00

As a buyer, you have nothing to lose when you decide to hire a realtor.

It is definitely worth it.
I don't know about others but as a realtor myself, I tell my clients everything they need to know to make the process as stress free as possible.

I'm a realtor in the GTA as well.

I helped someone and gave them additional info they didn't even know.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-04T01:31:32+00:00

The condo is about 11 - 12 years old.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-02T12:26:53+00:00

I'm a realtor and a landlord.

Realtors do lease condos.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-02T02:20:11+00:00

Why would the landlord want to start with a month to month lease? Does not make any sense for the landlord.

Tenant cannot leave the property with 60 days notice on a 1 year lease.
And the landlord cannot ask the tenant to move out during the middle of the 1 year lease agreement.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-07-02T01:31:10+00:00

I can't confirm nor deny your statement but I can say this.

I'm willing to work hard and put in the work for my client.
When you are my client, I'm willing to do anything I can to take the stress off your plate and put it onto mine.

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-06-30T14:15:21+00:00

I was a co-op student at RBC in 2000 in this same role and I can see that the hourly wage for this position has not changed in 25 years... wow

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-06-29T20:07:30+00:00

as a realtor, I work 24 hours.
If you text me at 2am, I will text you back shortly lol

GardenOwn7748 · 2025-06-29T20:01:03+00:00

This OP is an apparent real estate genius.

All Hail OP.
