Cashback for Selling Your Home?

Can you get cash back when selling your home in Toronto? Sort of. Ultimately, you are paying to sell your home. Historically, selling agents have charged 5% to sell a home. Half of that (2.5%) is given to the Buyer’s agent. It is from this commission that you can get cashback when buying a house. The other half (2.5%) is kept by the selling agent in return for their services to help sell your home. If you can get that agent to reduce their percentage, it’s less money that you have to pay. It’s not cash back, but it is cash back in your pocket!

Pay for What You Use

Not all selling agents are created equally. Some agents just put a sign on your lawn. Some will transform your house so that it sells for more than you expect. They will declutter, co-ordinate renovations and imporovements and stage it so that it looks amazing and sells quickly and for top dollar! It doesn’t really make sense that those two agents should be paid the same and yet they often are. We only recommend agents who offer a sliding scale and charge according to the services they provide.

Is Lowest Commission Always Best?

Absolutely not. Studies show that staging can increase the sales price of a house 1% to 5%. On a $1 million sale, that’s $10,000 to $50,000. It doesn’t make sense to save $10,000 if it costs you $20,000.

However, if two agents are offering you the same service and one is charging less, that’s cash back in your pocket.

We require all agents that want to work with Cashback Toronto on the sales side to be transparent on the services they offer and the amount they charge.
