How much does a real estate agent cost in Ontario?
In Ontario, the seller typically pays the real estate commission, which is split between the listing and buyer's agents. As a buyer, you generally pay nothing out of pocket for agent representation. For sellers, commission rates are negotiable. Contact me for a detailed breakdown based on your situation.

Canada offers several programs for first-time buyers including the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive, the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) for RRSP withdrawals, the First Home Savings Account (FHSA), and the land transfer tax rebate in Ontario.
