The simple answer is yes. Our MLS® listings are shown, and sold, by lots of Cooperating REALTORS® all of the time. Logic would dictate that if our system was unable to attract Cooperating REALTORS® to sell our MLS® listings then we would be selling most of our own listings to our own Buyers. In fact, its quite the opposite. Over 70% of our listing sales are sold by Cooperating REALTORS® representing the Buyer which is inline with industry standards. That is the proof in the pudding that our system works great.

Why is that.  Firstly, our listings (under $600,000) typically offer a $3000 commission to Cooperating Brokers. While $3000 might not be as much as some other listings, it is still is a decent amount of money for a paycheque for Canadians these days including a lot of REALTORS®.  When I sell  a house for $1,500,000 the buyers agent typically gets $7400, which I think is a decent amount of money.  The second reason why other agents cooperate and sell our listings is that it is the Buyers who are dictating the shots these days.  If the Buyer loves the home does the amount of commission matter to the Buyer?
