Full-service selling in Hamilton, for a 1% listing commission.
The commission is different. The job is still the job: prepare the home properly, put it in front of the whole market, negotiate hard and manage the sale through to closing.
Home prices in Hamilton changed dramatically. The traditional commission percentage barely did. FairCommission charges 1% on the listing side; buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiable, and this page uses 2% as the Hamilton example.

It varies by brokerage, and every rate is negotiable. FairCommission’s listing commission is 1%, and that is the full service, not a stripped-down version.
