Seller Savings
Save up to 80% on listing commissions compared to traditional percentage-based fees. (PropertyMesh)
How Much Do you save?
When homes are listed through a traditional percentage-based commission (commonly 2.5% on the listing side in Ontario), the fee grows with the home’s price. A flat-fee approach instead fixes the listing cost at $5,000, no matter how high the property value goes. The result: substantial cost differences, especially at mid- to high-price points.
The examples below show how savings are calculated:
Illustration of Percentage Savings
- At $400,000: the flat fee saves 50% compared to the traditional commission.
- At $750,000: the flat fee saves about 73%.
- At $1,000,000: the flat fee saves 80%, since the $20,000 difference represents four-fifths of the traditional $25,000 fee.
Why This Matters for Consumers
- Predictability: You know your listing cost upfront, without it increasing as your sale price rises.
- High-Value Homes: The higher the property value, the larger the gap between a flat fee and a percentage-based commission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to pay upfront when using a flat fee real estate service?
A: Not necessarily. While some flat fee agents require payment before listing, others — like our service — offer flexibility. For example, you may only pay once the property is sold. It’s important to clarify this during your initial consultation to avoid surprises. Transparent billing is a key part of choosing a trustworthy flat fee Realtor.
Q: Is a flat fee REALTOR® the same as a discount agent?
A: Not quite. A flat fee REALTOR® charges a fixed price for selling your home, regardless of how much it sells for. Discount agents often reduce their percentage commission but may still tie fees to the final price. At PropertyMesh, our flat fee covers all essential full-service steps, from listing to closing—without inflating costs based on sale value.
That said, we also offer a Discount Realtor service for clients who prefer the convenience and flexibility it provides — learn more here.
Q: Who takes care of the paperwork and legal forms?
A: All paperwork, disclosure documents, and compliance requirements are fully handled by your listing agent. Choosing a flat fee service with PropertyMesh doesn’t mean doing it yourself—our licensed professionals manage the full process from start to finish.
Q: Will my home be listed on REALTOR.ca and other real estate websites?
A: Yes. All flat fee listings at PropertyMesh are placed on the local MLS® system, which automatically syndicates to REALTOR.ca and many other real estate websites used by buyers across Canada. Your home receives full visibility, just like any traditional listing.
Q: Can I still offer a buyer’s agent commission?
A: Absolutely. In fact, offering a competitive buyer agent commission (typically 2% to 2.5%) is standard in Canada — and we strongly recommend it. Your listing will clearly state this amount, which helps attract buyer agents and ensures strong cooperation across the board.
Q: What happens if my home doesn’t sell?
A: With PropertyMesh, you only pay the flat fee when your home sells—not upfront. This approach keeps incentives aligned and reduces financial risk for sellers.
Q: How do flat fee REALTORS® make money if the fee is lower?
A: Flat fee brokerages like ours optimize operations and reduce unnecessary overhead. We focus on providing value efficiently, which allows us to offer professional service at a fair, fixed price. Our clients pay for results—not for inflated margins.
Q: Is the flat fee model allowed in Canada?
A: Yes. Flat fee real estate is fully compliant with Canadian law. The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) supports competitive pricing models, including fixed fees. Sellers are free to choose the service and pricing structure that works best for them.
Q: How do flat fee REALTORS® work?
A: They offer full real estate services—pricing strategy, MLS® listing, marketing, negotiations, and paperwork—for a fixed amount instead of a commission percentage. If you’d like a deeper look at how this model works in detail, see how flat fee real estate works in Canada.
