The confound runs the other way too: strong agents tend to get hired to sell well-presented homes in desirable areas that were always going to command a premium, so the nine percent figure likely reflects the houses as much as the agent. The Saskatchewan REALTORS Association publishes market data, not agent performance rankings, and that distinction matters here.
What genuinely moves a sale price is pricing accuracy, preparation and negotiation during the first weeks a listing is live, and those effects are real even without an exact percentage attached to them. Ask any agent making a claim like this for the comparables and the pricing reasoning behind it, plus what you would net after legal fees of $800 to $1,500.
Joel Dyck's hand-reviewed valuation shows that reasoning directly, including the improvements no online estimate would catch, rather than asking you to take a percentage on faith. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
