This does not cost my clients any extra money. It is included in the 1% package along with a virtual tour. Buyer agents get their usual 2.5% so the maximum you pay for this Remax full service with me is 3.5%.

List of services

 

 Saving money is great but usually not worth sacrificing service over. I would not mind saving some money on a product, but if I had to put up with bad customer service, I would really have to think twice.

The support staff at the RE/MAX is second to none. Professional secretaries handles all appointments and take great pride in being courteous. RE/MAX has also put in place a 24 hour answering service to make sure no important calls are missed.

Just because you are paying 1% commission to me you will not have to sacrifice on the service. Here is a list of products and services that are included for every listing:

1. Upload listing on the MLS
2. Virtual Tour
3. Professional photos (atleast 30 photos)
4. Full colour professionally designed Feature Sheets
5. Open houses

6. Advertised on the 1st page of Google, MSN, & Yahoo
7. Listing uploaded on the following sites:
8. Commissioncutter.ca
9. Remax.ca
10. MLS.ca

11. Remaxrealtyone.com
12. Other various classified sites
13. Remax secretaries handle all appointments
14. A For Sale sign
15. A lockbox for showings

16. I negotiate the offer personally
17. Listing is promoted aggressively to local agents

22. All listings are Easy Exit. Which means that if for any reason you are not satisfied with my services you can cancel the listing at any time. No fees will be charged.

All of this for just the price of 1%. If a buyer agent is involved then the total commission is 3.50% (2.5% of that going to the buyer agent).

Please be sure to read the articles Great Feature Sheets and Sample photos to get a feel for the quality of work.

Disclaimer: Different commission rates, fees, and listing and marketing services may be offered by other RE/MAX Franchisees or Sales Associates in Canada.

1% commission

I charge only 1% commission for full service. The buyer’s agent commission is 2.5%. Therefore, the absolute maximum commission you pay is 3.5%. Now virtual tours are included in this commission!

What do you get for 1%?
1. The Remax name brand! Best and biggest real estate company in North America. Market share of Remax in Brampton is 36%.

2. I specializing in Brampton and generally list 3 to 4 times more then the average agent.

3. All my listings are “Easy Exit”. Meaning that if for any reason you are not satisfied with my services my brokerage will cancel the listing. No penalties, No fees, No tricks.

4. Check my articles “Sample photos” and “Great Feature Sheets” on this site to see the quality of work I provide.

5. My website www.commissioncutter.ca is on the 1st page of Google for “Brampton real estate”. Your listing gets a full page ad on that site. Great exposure!

6. I reply to all emails within 12 minutes. Buyers are very tech savvy nowadays and want answers right away. If an agent doesn’t reply fast chances are the buyer loses interest and moves on to the next property.

7. You can speak to any of my past clients to get a reference check.

On average my clients end up saving about $4400. I know initially the thought is that this seems to good to be true or that there must be a catch. I understand completely. That is why I encourage you to ask me the tough questions, ask me to provide all my recent sales and stats in writing, speak to my past clients if necessary. Plus remember you can cancel the listing at any time if later on you feel you’ve made a mistake. Out of the last 50 or so listings I’ve had only one person cancel a listing on me. 

Please check out my article “List of Services” to see in detail what is included in the 1% package.

Great Feature Sheets

Another thing that is very important in showing off a listing is great Feature Sheets. Usually when buyers go out to look at houses with their agent they see 6-10 houses at a time. By the end of the day every house starts to look the same and they can never recall which house had what.

To solve that problem I get full colour Feature Sheets designed. These are left at your house for buyers to pick up. These help the buyers remember how beautiful your house was.

GST rebates when buying new


Program

Did you buy a new house in Brampton? You may be eligible to claim a rebate for a part of the GST you pay on the purchase price or cost of building your home if:

  • you buy a new or substantially renovated home (including the land or if you lease the land) from a builder;
  • you buy a new mobile home (including a modular home) or a floating home from a builder or vendor;
  • you buy a share of capital stock of a co-operative housing corporation;
  • you construct or substantially renovate your own home, or carry out
    a major addition (or hire another person to do so); or
  • your home is destroyed in a fire and is subsequently rebuilt.

Details

  • Resale homes are exempt from the GST.
  • New homes are subject to the GST. New home buyers can apply for a 36% rebate of the GST applicable to the purchase price to a maximum of $6,300 for homes costing $350,000 or less before GST.
  • For new homes priced between $350,000 and $450,000 before GST, the GST rebate would be reduced proportionately.
  • New homes priced $450,000 before GST or higher would not receive a rebate.

NOTE: In the Greater Toronto Area, most builders include the GST in the price of the house, and any rebate would be assignable to the builder as they would be absorbing the net GST cost.

Dec 19, 2008 / Brampton Real Estate / Buying new

Mid December housing report

TORONTO, December 17, 2008 — Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 1,487 resale transactions during the first half of December, from 2,868 sales recorded in the same period a year ago, Toronto Real Estate Board President Maureen O’Neill announced today.

The average price of a home in the Greater Toronto Area is currently $360,652. This compares to an average of $404,707 recorded during the first half of December 2007 and to an average of $343,048 recorded during the same period in 2006.

Keeping today’s market statistics in perspective, MLS statistics confirm that over the last 10 years the price of homes has increased in value. What this means for the consumer is that real estate continues to hold its value and is a solid choice for long-term investments, said Ms. O’Neill.

In the 416 area, 619 transactions were recorded during the first half of this month, from 1,402 sales that took place during the same timeframe a year ago.

The average price in the 416 area is currently $382,759, from an average of $450,731 a year ago, and $367,650 recorded in the first half of December 2006.

In the 905 region 868 homes changed hands in the first two weeks of this month, from 1,466 transactions that took place in the first half of December 2007.

The 905 region’s current average price is $344,887 from an average of $360,691 recorded during the same timeframe a year ago and $325,477 recorded at mid-December 2006.

The recent C.D. Howe land transfer tax study confirms REALTORS concerns that the second LTT imposed on homebuyers in the City of Toronto has indeed contributed to the economic conditions in the GTA, added Ms. O’Neill.

There are currently 24,708 listings on the TorontoMLS system, from 17,027 a year ago. The average number of days a home now remains on the market is 43, as compared to 33 days a year ago. Sellers are achieving 96 per cent of their listing price, as compared to 98 per cent a year ago.

Location, price and your own personal financial and family situation all play an important role when considering a purchase, said Ms. O’Neill. REALTORS can provide you with information about neighbourhoods, school districts and realistic pricing because of their vast knowledge of the local community.

This mid month release does not provide a year in review analysis. A summary of activity for all of 2008 including the month of December will be provided in the January 2009 Market Watch Report.
