Legal fees are the piece most sellers underestimate, typically $800 to $1,500 depending on whether there is a mortgage discharge, a survey issue or an estate involved. Title itself moves through Information Services Corporation, and the buyer, not the seller, covers the ISC transfer fee under Saskatchewan practice.
Commission is negotiated at the listing stage, not set by law, and the standard practice has the seller paying both the listing side and the buyer's side out of proceeds. Property taxes get prorated at closing too, so a seller who prepaid for the year gets a credit rather than losing that money.
