Wondering how to negotiate realtor commission in Calgary without scaring off buyers or weakening your listing?

This video breaks down real numbers, real tactics, and realistic savings on a typical $450K–$600K Calgary home — plus how ReimagineHome.ai helps you keep your marketing strong even when you trim fees.

You’ll see how the classic “7% on the first $100K and 3% on the balance” structure can add up to ~$22,000 on a $600K sale, and how some sellers are shifting toward 2–3% total, using:

🔹 Bundle buy + sell (0.25–1% savings on the listing side or credits)

🔹 Flat-fee MLS + strong buyer co-op (1–1.5%)

🔹 Buyer rebates of 0.5–1.5% at closing (where allowed)

All while protecting the marketing that actually drives your net: pro photos, floor plans, and virtual staging.
