What Is 2 Percent Realty and How Does It Save You Money?

2 Percent Realty Calgary: What It Is & How It Works

If you’re selling your home in Calgary in 2026, you’ve probably come across 2% Realty, a model designed to help you save on commission while still receiving full-service representation. The big question most sellers have is simple: how does it work, and what do you actually get for 2%?

Traditional Real Estate Commissions

In Calgary, traditional real estate commissions are often structured using a “7/3” model:

  • 7% on the first $100,000 of the sale price
  • 3% on the remaining balance

For example, on a $500,000 home:

  • The commission would be approximately $19,000.

While this structure is common, many sellers find the cost significant, especially in competitive markets.

The 2 Percent Realty Model

At 2 Percent Realty Calgary, the commission is 2% of the total sale price. The goal is straightforward: provide full-service real estate support with a simpler, more transparent fee structure so you can keep more of what you have built.

Your home is still marketed to the same pool of buyers in Calgary, and it appears on MLS and REALTOR.ca like any other listing.

Does Paying 2% Commission Affect Your Sale Price?

A common concern is whether paying less commission affects your sale price. In practice, buyers do not see what commission a seller is offering. Your home shows on MLS and REALTOR.ca the same way as any other Calgary listing.

What drives results is pricing, presentation, marketing, and negotiation, not the commission model behind the scenes. Your property competes on equal footing with every other home for sale in Calgary.

Full-Service Real Estate for Just 2% Commission

Some people assume a lower commission means fewer services. With 2% Realty, that is not the case. You still receive the core services sellers expect from a full-service Calgary REALTOR, including:

  • MLS® Listings: Your property is showcased on REALTOR.ca.
  • Professional Marketing: High-quality photography, drone shots, virtual staging and virtual tours.
  • Expert Negotiation: Support with offers, counteroffers, and contract terms to protect your outcome.

In short, you get 100% full-service support while paying only 2% commission.
