A percentage, or nothing at all.
How a typical commission compares with RealEasy, which is free for buyers and sellers.
A percentage of your price
- 7% on the first $100,000, plus 3% on the balance
- Grows with your price, whether or not the work does
- You don't know the final amount until the sale closes
- You are bound by the listing agreement's exclusivity period
You pay RealEasy nothing
- Free to list, and free to sell
- No claim on your proceeds, and nothing taken from your sale
- You control every offer, and there is no exclusivity period
- Optional extras, like an additional sign, will be priced before you buy
How this is calculated. The comparison uses a commission structure of 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance, a structure commonly quoted in Alberta. Real estate commissions are negotiable and vary by brokerage and listing agreement — your actual figure may differ. It excludes any compensation you choose to offer a buyer's agent. RealEasy charges sellers and buyers no fee to list or sell; optional items such as signs will be sold separately. This estimate is for illustration and is not financial or legal advice.
Whose interest a fee serves
A $20,000 price drop costs you $20,000. It costs your agent about $150.
A $20,000 price drop on a $500,000 sale
Where their $150 comes from
- $20,000price drop
- $6003% commission
- $300half to the buyer’s side
- $150half to their brokerage
A sale that never closes, on the other hand, costs them their entire share, about $4,750. That gap is why “let’s just take it” comes so easily.
RealEasy charges nothing, so nobody’s pay moves with your decision. Holding out for another $20,000 costs RealEasy nothing, so nobody is quietly hoping you stop.
Both figures use the 3% rate that a commonly quoted Alberta structure applies above the first $100,000, and assume an even split between the two sides of the deal and again between the agent and their brokerage. Splits vary by brokerage agreement.
How a sale runs
The negotiation is the product.
Submit it for review
Photos, price, and details. You verify your identity, upload a document showing you own the property, and sign the Platform Agreement; the listing publishes once it passes quality review.
Compare offers on what they net you
Every offer in one list with your price, the deposit, the round, and the days left to respond. Counter the price, deposit, possession date, conditions, and inclusions, round by round.
Sign, then hand off to your lawyer
Both sides sign electronically from a phone. Each side then downloads the hand-off package — the signed agreement, its certificate of completion, and a round-by-round summary of the negotiation — to take to their own lawyer.
App screens show sample data. The properties, prices, and people are illustrative, and nothing shown is for sale.
The record
Written down, and it cannot be rewritten.
An append-only history
Every offer, every counter, every revision is written to a history that cannot be edited or deleted. You can always show exactly what was agreed, and when.
Terms frozen at each stage
What gets signed is already settled. Each stage is captured in a write-once snapshot with a cryptographic hash, so the version you signed is the version that stands.
Verified on both sides
Every seller, and every buyer who makes an offer or books a showing, has completed identity verification. Here’s what that checks, and what it doesn’t.
We never touch your money
RealEasy has no claim on your proceeds, and nothing is taken from your sale.
Who does what.
Three parties, and only one of them makes the decisions. We would rather be clear about that now than have you find out later.
The platform
Listing, forms, the negotiation workflow, scheduling, e-signature, and the permanent transaction record. We are a technology company, not a brokerage, and we do not give real estate advice.
Every decision
Your price, your terms, which offers you accept, and what you counter. The platform gives you the tools and the information; the judgment is yours alone.
The legal work
Reviewing your contract and closing the transaction. When you are ready, download the hand-off package to give them. Consult a qualified Alberta real estate lawyer.
If you are buying
A private sale you can actually verify.
Buying direct from an owner can mean taking their word for things. Here every seller has completed identity verification (what that checks), your offer is a structured form rather than an email, and the negotiation history is the same record they see.
Browsing and offering are free. Book showings from the seller’s published availability.
