What does a Saskatoon listing agent charge?

Real estate commission in Saskatchewan is negotiable, not fixed by law or by any board, and it is agreed in writing between you and your agent at the listing stage. As part of overall seller closing costs, commission and related fees generally run 4 to 6 percent of the sale price once legal fees and adjustments are counted.

Standard practice, confirmed through the Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission's licensing rules, is that the seller's commission covers both the listing agent's side and the buyer's agent's side, which is why sellers rarely see a separate bill from the buyer's representative.

Legal fees sit outside the commission entirely, typically $800 to $1,500 depending on the complexity of the file, and every Saskatchewan transaction closes through a lawyer regulated by the Law Society of Saskatchewan regardless of who the listing agent is.

Ask any agent to walk through exactly what their fee includes before you sign, since that comparison tells you more than the number alone. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
