How Don compares Thorncliffe homes.
For a Thorncliffe sale, Don checks the layout, finished basement space, garage and lot before choosing comparable homes. He separates renovated properties from homes needing work, so the asking price reflects the condition buyers will actually see.
Prepare for the buyers you want to reach.
Gather the dates of major repairs and details of completed improvements. Don helps you decide which remaining touch-ups will improve presentation, then reviews showing feedback and offer conditions with you. When buyers compare Thorncliffe with nearby Highland Park, he explains the property differences that support your price.
Full service, with lower commission.
Don’s usual combined commission is 2%: 1% for the listing brokerage and 1% for the buyer’s brokerage, before GST. The service includes pricing advice, professional photos, MLS and Realtor.ca exposure, showing support, offer negotiation and guidance through closing.
On a $700,000 sale, 2% is $14,000 compared with $25,000 under the 7%/3% example—an $11,000 difference before GST. The comparison uses 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance. Commissions are negotiable; a different buyer-brokerage offer changes the total and savings. Other selling costs are additional, and your written agreement confirms the fees.
