Commission in Saskatchewan is negotiable, so the amount actually saved by going without an agent varies, and many for sale by owner sellers still end up paying a buyer's agent's commission if that agent brings the eventual buyer, which narrows the savings considerably.
Seller closing costs in Saskatchewan run 4 to 6 percent of the sale price when commission, legal fees and adjustments are added together, and a for sale by owner seller still pays the legal fee and adjustment portions of that regardless of representation.
The real comparison is net proceeds, not the commission line alone. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
