An example of what a seller’s (listing) REALTOR® may charge is a commission of 6.0% on the first $100,000 and 3.0% commission on the remaining amount; however, commissions can vary. At 6.0%100k+3.0%balance a $600,000 home in Gordon Head would cost $21,000 in commission to sell. Why is it that an identical $450,000 home in Langford would only cost $16,500 in commission to sell? Identical homes, just a different location.
