Canada Home Listings
The last type of listing is the most commonly used type of listing in all real estate markets. The exclusive right-to-sell listing give a real estate broker their right to earn a commission by representing the owner and by bringing in buyers. Buyers are often brought in through other brokers or directly. A listing and selling broker will both charge fees to the owner. In addition to those fees paid by the owner, the owner will be responsible for paying a commission to the broker when the home is sold.
Now that you understand the type of listings there a few more terms and conditions you might want to consider when listing your home…
- Keep in mind that with all listings there will be a length to how long it is listed. Durations of the listing agreements are usually negotiable, so don’t feel that you’re obligated to a certain time period. The most common lengths of listings can be 30 days, 90 days, six months, one year or more.
- Consider how much you will be paying the selling agent in commission. If there are many homes on the market, meaning fewer buyers to you, than you might want to consider a higher commission as it will strike their interest in focusing on selling your home more quickly then other owners they may be dealing with.
- You should also keep in mind of whether is the expiration of contract between yourself and your real estate agent. This will allow for you to know whether or not you are within limits of having to pay your agent a commission or not.
All in all listing your home in Canada doesn’t have to be a complicated process. Understanding what you’re getting yourself into, who’s involved and how much you’re willing to do to get your home sold at the end will determine your final result.
