Selling your home can be an emotional and financial journey, but one thing is clear: saving on commissions while still receiving full-service support is a game-changer. With the traditional real estate commission model (7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance), homeowners often pay tens of thousands in fees.
That’s where discount realtors like Derek Chevrefils come in. At 2% Realty, we offer a flat 2% commission model, providing you with professional real estate services while saving you thousands.
How Does the 2% Realty Model Work?
Instead of the traditional commission breakdown, our 2% model is simple and straightforward:
- 1% for me as your listing agent.
- 1% for the buyer’s agent*
- *In Canada, buyer’s agent commissions are negotiable.
This means you receive the same full-service real estate support without paying inflated fees.
How Much Can You Save?
Let’s break it down:
By choosing 2% Realty, you keep more of your hard-earned equity while still receiving full-service real estate expertise.

Common Misconceptions About Discount Realtors
1. “Discount Realtors Offer Fewer Services”
Not true. At 2% Realty, we provide full-service support, including pricing, marketing, showings, negotiations, and closing.
2. “There Must Be Hidden Fees”
Wrong again. Our pricing is completely transparent—2% + GST on commissions, that’s it. No surprises.
3. “Buyers Agent’s Won’t Work With Discount Realtors”
Buyers and their agents are drawn to professionally marketed homes, regardless of the listing agent’s commission. Our approach ensures your property gets the attention it deserves.
