A fair real estate commission in Ontario is one where you net the most money after all costs — not necessarily the lowest percentage. Flowers Team Real Estate has the track record to prove that premium service consistently delivers premium net proceeds. Commissions in Ontario are negotiable and not set by law.

The context you need to evaluate commission fairly:

• Typical range — total commissions historically range from 3.5% to 5% of the purchase price plus 13% HST.
• The math that matters—if Agent A charges 5% commission and sells for $850,000 ($42,500 in commission), and Agent B charges 4% but sells for $810,000 ($32,400 in commission), Agent A nets you $807,500 versus Agent B's $777,600. Agent A delivers $29,900 more in your pocket despite the higher commission.
• Buyer agent co-op — reducing the co-op commission offered to buyer agents can reduce showing activity. This false economy often costs sellers more than it saves.
