If you have ever looked at your home’s value and then done the mental math on a 4% commission, you know the feeling. That is a big cheque. The good news is you do not need to pay it to get full MLS® and REALTOR.ca® exposure.
This is 0% realty in plain English, with simple math at common price points so you can see exactly what you keep. We will also show how ComFree’s flat-fee packages work, what is included, and how buyer-agent cooperation is handled cleanly and fairly.
Ready to keep more of your equity and still reach every serious buyer on MLS®? Let’s dive in.
0% realty means you do not pay a percentage to a listing agent. Instead, you choose one flat fee to list your property on MLS®/REALTOR.ca® through ComFree. You stay in control of pricing, marketing, showings, and negotiations, with our seven-day support behind you. The exposure is the same as a traditional listing, but the cost is predictable and not tied to your sale price.
Some sellers also offer a buyer-agent commission for cooperation. Others do not, especially when selling directly to an unrepresented or self-represented buyer. With ComFree, the choice is yours. The key is that you are not locked into a listing-side percentage.
In many Canadian markets, total commissions typically land around 4% of the sale price, often split between listing and buyer agents. Exact rates are negotiable and vary by region and brokerage, but these are common ballparks:
That commission grows as your price rises, even though the marketing steps and MLS exposure are largely the same. A flat-fee approach breaks that link so you are not paying more just because your home is worth more.
ComFree’s packages are one predictable price. Use these examples to see how quickly the savings add up. We will compare a typical 4% total commission against a one-time flat fee package.
Important note: If you decide to offer a cooperating commission to a buyer’s agent, you can still save substantially by removing the listing-side percentage and keeping the buyer-side offer under your control. You decide what to offer, or if you will work only with direct buyers.

Buyers search on MLS® and REALTOR.ca®. Your listing appears in the same feeds and on the same national platforms. You are not paying for extra visibility by choosing a percentage; you are simply paying more. With a flat-fee package, you get the same stage and the same audience. The difference is how much you keep when the deal closes.

Cooperation is simple. You set your terms upfront.
If an agent says they will not show your home without a certain commission, document the conversation. Serious buyers expect choice, and MLS policy supports open access for clients. Our team can help you navigate those situations and keep your listing visible and active.

For most sellers focused on net proceeds and control, yes. Here is why flat-fee usually wins:
If you prefer a traditional, full-service agent to do every step for you, percentage pricing may feel more familiar. For everyone else who values control and savings, flat-fee is typically the better fit.
It is a commission-free, flat-fee model where you list on MLS®/REALTOR.ca® without paying a listing-side percentage. You control cooperation with buyer agents as you see fit.
Commissions are negotiable, but many markets see totals around 4%, often split between listing and buyer agents.
There is no universal minimum. Rates vary by province, brokerage, and service level. Flat-fee options like ComFree remove the listing-side percentage altogether.
For most equity-focused sellers, yes. You get the same MLS® exposure with a known cost, and you control any buyer-agent cooperation.
Sellers who choose ComFree’s one flat fee often keep thousands more compared with percentage commissions at $300k, $500k, $800k, and beyond.
