LIST ON
THE MLS® SYSTEM
REALTOR^® ACCESS
FOR $649

The $649 (GST included) listing fee is paid upfront when the MLS^® listing documents are signed. It includes listing your property for a full year on the MLS^® System operated by the appropriate local British Columbia real estate board, unless you request different listing dates, and a complimentary title search provided to the seller. You may terminate the listing in writing at any time without penalty. A separate $960 + GST brokerage and administration fee is paid from the sale proceeds at closing only when the property sells.

The $960 + GST brokerage and administration fee is payable only after a successful sale and is deducted from the sale proceeds at closing. It includes unlimited listing revisions, including changes to the price and buyer-agent compensation; forwarding any buyer or agent inquiries and leads received by the brokerage; and preparation and delivery of the sales report to the lawyers or notaries acting for the seller and buyer. If an unrepresented buyer is involved, standard real estate purchase and sale contract forms can also be provided when required.

The following documents and materials are required to process your MLS^® listing: • Signed MLS^® listing documents. • Government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s licence or BCID. • A completed Property Data Input Form. • 10–30 high-resolution property photos. A complimentary title search is included in the listing fee and provided to the seller. The owner remains responsible for the accuracy of all property information supplied.

OWNER-DIRECTED MLS^® LISTING (FSBO) is officially called a mere posting. A licensed real estate brokerage submits your property to the MLS^® System operated by the appropriate local real estate board where the property is located, making it visible to participating local real estate agents. Through REALTOR.ca and other participating public property-search websites, the listing can be viewed by the public across Canada. eRealtyBC.com offers this service for eligible properties in British Columbia. You remain unrepresented and manage pricing, showings, inquiries, offers and negotiations; MLS^® exposure does not guarantee a sale.

You manage the asking price, property presentation, buyer and agent inquiries, showings, offers, negotiations and your final sale decisions. Your property receives professional MLS^® visibility while you remain in control of the selling process.

The listing term is one year unless you request different dates. Unlimited revisions to the price, photos and description are included. You may terminate the listing at any time by providing written notice, with no cancellation penalty.

Allow approximately three business days after the required real estate listing agreement is signed and all listing paperwork and property information are complete. Sellers cannot submit a property directly to the MLS^® System. The completed listing must be submitted by a licensed real estate brokerage through an authorized licensed real estate professional to the appropriate local real estate board. Timing also depends on board processing, which generally takes place during standard business hours, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding weekends and holidays. Complete packages are submitted for the next available processing period.

All commissions and buyer-agent compensation are negotiable; there is no standard or required rate. For illustration, a full-service commission of 7% on the first $100,000 plus 2.5% on the balance totals $29,500 before GST on a $1,000,000 sale. If you offer half that amount to the buyer’s brokerage (3.5% on the first $100,000 plus 1.25% on the balance), buyer-agent compensation is $14,750. With 5% GST, buyer-agent compensation is $15,487.50. Add the $649 listing fee including GST and the $960 administration fee plus GST ($1,008), for a combined cost of $17,144.50 including GST. Compared with $30,975 including GST for the full-service example, the illustrative savings are $13,830.50. This assumes the same sale price, a completed sale and the stated buyer-agent compensation; other selling costs are excluded. Owner-Directed sellers remain unrepresented and manage the sale themselves. You may offer another percentage or a flat dollar amount; these figures are examples, not a standard or maximum commission.

Yes. You may change the buyer-agent compensation at any time during the listing term by signing a listing amendment. This listing revision is included in the administration service, but it is recommended that you begin with a set amount.

The buyer-agent compensation you offer is set out in your MLS^® listing agreement and is visible to real estate professionals through the listing. With each offer or counter-offer, the applicable remuneration is disclosed in dollar amounts so you can understand the financial impact before deciding how to proceed.

If the buyer is unrepresented, there is no buyer-agent compensation to pay.

We can provide factual information about the typical offer process, forms and next steps. You remain responsible for your decisions. Seek legal advice if needed.

No. You control access to your home and arrange showings directly with interested buyers or agents.

Your contact information and approved wording are included in the agent-only Realtor Remarks so agents may contact you directly. If the brokerage receives an email inquiry from an agent or buyer, it is forwarded to you by email. If an agent or buyer calls the brokerage, the caller’s phone number and inquiry details are forwarded to you so you can respond and manage the next steps.

There is no fixed time to sell and a sale is not guaranteed. Finding a buyer depends on your asking price compared with similar homes, location, property type and condition, photos and presentation, local buyer demand and competing listings. Prepare the home and required documents, use clear photos and accurate listing information, make showings accessible and respond promptly to inquiries and offers. After an offer is accepted, any conditions such as financing or inspection must be dealt with according to the contract; ownership transfers on the agreed completion date. For OWNER-DIRECTED MLS^® LISTING (FSBO), you manage pricing, showings and negotiations. The approximately three-business-day listing turnaround starts after the signed agreement and complete paperwork are received; it is not a promise of how quickly the home will sell.

The service supports eligible properties throughout British Columbia, including the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Interior, Island and North. Your property is listed through the MLS^® System operated by the appropriate local British Columbia real estate board, where participating real estate professionals can view it. The listing also appears on REALTOR.ca and other participating public property-search websites.

The MLS^® System is a professional cooperative selling system that participating REALTORS® and other real estate professionals use to discover properties throughout British Columbia and across Canada. Having your property submitted through a licensed real estate brokerage gives it strong professional market exposure, places it where local agents search for active listings and supports distribution to REALTOR.ca and other participating property-search websites. This makes your property easier for serious buyers and their representatives to find alongside other professionally submitted listings. A sale is never guaranteed; results depend on factors such as price, property condition, location, presentation, buyer demand and overall market conditions.
