A real estate agent or realtor receives a percentage (commission) of the final sale of a property. 

In Toronto, the percentage is often negotiated between the seller and their listing agent. The commission is usually split between the listing agent and the buyer’s agent. 

Percentages vary by market, market demand, the type of property being sold and can be anywhere between 4-6% of the final sale price.

Make sure when you’re interviewing real estate agents that you understand the commission that they will be charging you on your transaction.
