Real estate agent or can I get by on my own?

Real estate agent or can I get by on my own?

Every day we tend to cooperate with different agents or experts in their fields. For example, we visit a shop and approach a shop assistant or a consultant to give us a piece of advice on which product to choose from. Monthly or more, we go to the hairdresser and trust him/her with our appearance. Why do we do that? Aren’t we so great and masterful that we can do everything on our own?

CIR Realty – your insider in the real estate world

The answer is quite evident. Thus we always want to get the best service and results possible. Ways to achieve this – is to cooperate with real experts who can share their knowledge, experience and valuable tips with you. The real estate sphere is no exception. Being a jack-of-all-trades is no longer the fashion. So, real estate agent, Ron Christensen with CIR Realty is always available to assist you.

What fee is a real estate agent able to charge?

Costs are a tricky area, and almost everyone is always afraid of paying too much or being deceived. Some try to save on realty fees and still expect to get the highest quality services at the same time. You know that nobody has ever managed to kill two birds with one stone. This kind of attitude with respect to paying “discount” real estate fees will usually backfire on you.

How does it work?

The average real estate agent’s fee in Calgary is 7% on the first 100,000 and 3% on the balance on the majority of listings. Understand that all of the 7% & 3% do not go straight to your Listing Realtor. The fact is, that he/she receives only half of this amount, (3.5% & 1.5%) from which office fees and expenses are deducted. The other half goes to Buying Realtor, who brings the buyer to you. Note: There is no set or standard real estate fee. So it is quite logical if you reduce the fee of your Listing Realtor, it will be quite demotivating for the Buying Realtor on the other side.

People’s natural behaviour is such, and we know that everyone wants to get fair remuneration for their professional services and time spent to achieve their mutual goal – be it either selling or buying a house. Ron Christensen’s fees since 1987 have always been 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance of the sale price. If you are looking for a “discount Realtor” with discounted services, Ron Christensen is probably not the real estate agent for you. Hopefully, these tips have clarified the question of real estate agent fees in Calgary, and we can move on to another important point.
