How much does a realtor cost in Quebec?
Realtor compensation is one of the first questions sellers ask. Here's how it works, explained clearly.
How does the commission work?
In Quebec, the real estate broker's compensation is agreed upon before listing in the brokerage contract. It typically takes the form of a percentage of the final sale price. There is no fixed rate set by the OACIQ, every agreement is personalized.
This compensation covers the full range of professional services: market value analysis, pricing strategy, professional photography, marketing, showings, negotiation, and coordination through to the notary.
What this means for you
Before signing a brokerage contract, a good broker will clearly explain their compensation, the services included, and any other expected costs (notary, location certificate, welcome tax for buyers). Everything is transparent from the start.
The real question isn't just "how much does it cost?" but rather "what will my net result be?" An experienced local broker can help you maximize your sale price, reduce time on market, and avoid costly mistakes.
First step: find out your property's value, it's free and no commitment required.
