Did you know that real estate commissions are not typically paid by the buyers? Sellers generally distribute commissions to the agents. However, in some situations, such as sellers selling their own homes, sellers may not always pay the buyer agent’s commission. When signing a Buyer Representation Agreement with a REALTOR®, you may notice a section about what would happen if a seller does not pay the buyer agent’s commission. This section states that in those situations, the buyer will be responsible to pay the commission. However, if that happens, I will negotiate with the seller to collect a commission from them, and I will only ask the buyer to pay the commission as a last resort.

To my friends and colleagues, I’m posting to let you know that I’ve embarked on an exciting new business venture, which builds on my experience and career in government and financial management. As a recently licensed REALTOR®, I have established a new real estate business with Right At Home Realty Inc., that I am marketing as The Toronto Realty. I’m very proud to be working with one of the top brokerages in the GTA, and one that takes an active role in supporting local charity events.
Expanding into the real estate business can be difficult, so I am asking for your assistance in getting my business off the ground. I kindly ask if you know anyone that is considering buying or selling a property to please give them my contact information; and also ask if you can pass their name and number on to me. I can personally give them a call and talk about what I can do for them in regards to real estate. Real estate is built on referrals and since I’m new, I need to be able to rely on my friends and colleagues, to assist me in building my business. I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide and I want to thank you, in advance, for any referrals you send my way.
