The $30,000 Question — Why Are Canadians Still Paying So Much in Commission?

Every time I talk to homeowners, I ask:
“Why are Canadians still paying $20K–$30K in commissions?”
On an average $500K home, that’s what you lose to agents.

But what could you do with $30K?

  • Pay down your mortgage

  • Boost retirement savings

  • Fund your child’s education

  • Take a dream vacation

Why It Keeps Happening

The traditional industry thrives on the assumption that you’ll feel too nervous to change.
But the reality is: you have a choice.
