Low Commission Real Estate Agents
Transparent Pricing for Sellers
Choose the full-service representation model that fits your needs — $5,000 flat fee or 1% listing commission. Transparent Pricing Structure*, designed for savings.
Tier 1: Flat-Fee Full-Service REALTOR® (Listing Side) $5,000 Fixed Fee
Our comprehensive flat fee realtor is a full service representation package which includes MLS® listing, professional photography, staging consultation, expert negotiation, and more — similar in scope to a traditional full service which costs typically 2-2.5% listing agent commission, but at a fixed $5,000 listing fee.
Tier 2: Premium Full-Service REALTOR® (1% Listing) 1% Commission
Tier 2 — our “one percent realtor” full-service listing option — includes everything in Tier 1, plus professional staging. Enhanced preparation (such as professional cleaning and furniture moving assistance) is also included where agreed upon in your listing strategy.
Note: Our Tier 2 Premium Full-Service REALTOR® (1% Listing) is available when your property’s list price in the Listing Agreement is $1,200,000 or higher. For homes listed under $1,200,000, the Tier 2 listing commission will be 1.25% or higher, as agreed in writing, and is calculated as a percentage of the final sale price once the transaction closes. Tier 1 remains a $5,000 fixed listing fee (plus HST), regardless of the final sale price.
*With our full-service listing options, a $500 listing deposit is due when you sign the Listing Agreement. If the property sells and closes under that listing, the $500 is credited toward your commission at closing.
If the listing is cancelled, expires, or the property does not sell, the $500 is not refunded. It is allocated to direct costs, including MLS® setup, photography coordination, and administration. When no sale is completed, there is no additional commission payable.
In both tiers, you receive end-to-end support — pricing, preparation, MLS® exposure, marketing, showings, offer negotiation, and paperwork — comparable to a traditional full-service 2.5% listing agent. The difference is how the listing fee is structured and how much in-person prep (staging, cleaning, furniture moving) is bundled in.
Are Low Commission REALTORS® Worth It?
Paying less shouldn’t mean getting less.
At PropertyMesh, our partner REALTORS® offer full-service representation at a lower listing fee. While we offer Listing-Only Service (Mere Posting) for experienced investors, our Tier 1 & 2 packages are NOT a DIY model. You still receive:
Full MLS® and REALTOR.ca exposure
Pricing strategy and listing preparation
Skilled negotiation focused on your net proceeds
Transparent contracts and upfront fee disclosures
Full fiduciary duties, including undivided loyalty and confidentiality

Savings with Low Commission Real Estate
Calculator below showcases sellers savings by using our Tier 2 Premium Full-Service REALTOR® which is charged at 1% of the sold price; buyer agent commission which is typically between 2% – 2.5% of the sold price is not part of this calculation as it is not part of the savings.

Broker Oversight: Value With Accountability
Paying less doesn’t mean losing protection.
Every low-commission transaction is reviewed and supervised by Faiza Ahmed, Broker (RECO #4791581) through International Realty Firm, Inc. (Brokerage #4799095). Here’s what that means for you:
Consumer Protection: You remain fully covered under RECO regulations and CREA’s REALTOR® Code of Ethics — the same protections that apply to full-service listings.
Vetted Agents: When Faiza is not directly serving clients in Toronto, she assigns only licensed REALTORS® whose track record, specialization, and compliance history are verified.
Accountability: Faiza remains your escalation contact throughout the process, so there’s no “handing off and disappearing.”
📌 The commission is lower. The protections aren’t.

Industry Insights
Steering: A Known Industry Concern
⚠️The Reality
"Steering" is a known concern in the real estate industry, especially when commission structures vary.
In Ontario, the RECO Code of Ethics prohibits agents from directing clients away from a property simply because the cooperating commission is lower.
In practice, however, regulators and researchers have acknowledged that perceived commission differences can still influence behaviour, even when the rules are clear.
🛡️The PropertyMesh Model
Our goal is to reduce your listing-side costs while keeping the buyer's agent co-operating commission competitive and clearly disclosed on MLS®.
That way, your home remains attractive to buyer agents, while you benefit from a more efficient fee structure on the listing side.
Professional Support Standards
Depending on the model you choose, you receive at minimum professional support that includes:
"We ensure your property is taken seriously in the marketplace, regardless of the service model you choose."
