Realtor commission in Quebec
How much is a real estate commission? What does it cover? Here's a clear guide to understanding broker fees in Quebec.
How is the commission calculated?
In Quebec, the broker's compensation is agreed upon before listing in the brokerage contract. It's typically a percentage of the final sale price. There is no regulated rate, every agreement is personalized between the seller and their broker.
This fee covers the full scope of professional services: market value analysis, pricing strategy, photography, marketing, showings, negotiation, and coordination through to the notary signing.
Other costs to expect
Beyond the commission, a real estate sale involves other costs: notary fees, location certificate, and in some cases tax adjustments. A good broker presents the complete cost picture from day one to avoid surprises.
Your broker should also help you calculate your net proceeds, what remains in your pocket after all costs. That's the best way to make an informed decision.
