Our Story – Home@Ease Realty Inc. – Toronto Real Estate Broker

Home@Ease Realty Inc. is the premium full service discount brokerage in Ontario. Home@Ease helps clients save thousands of dollars while successfully selling their homes, achieving great savings and even greater results for sellers.  Home@Ease has streamlined the real estate process and is able to pass significant commission savings on to our clients.  Our experienced Realtors have years of experience in the areas they serve, allowing you to save thousands, without compromising on full service.  Home@Ease was founded by people from inside and outside of the real estate profession who believed 5%-6% commissions were too high for the value provided.  The founders didn’t feel that so much of our hard-earned, after-tax money should disappear each time we moved, and invested their own money to search for a way to do it more economically.  A way was found and Home@Ease is the vehicle by which these savings can be brought to every consumer involved in buying or selling a house.  Up till now, real estate sales involved many layers and parties in a structure which have been the same for many years.  Home@Ease created a different management and incentive structure, and also leveraged the Internet and new software. The Company’s proprietary technology, marketing support, and training and brokerage resources result in a much more efficient system which lowers the per sale cost significantly – savings which can be passed onto the customer.

Home at Ease Realty has two commission packages for our Sellers. The first option is our 1% Full Service plan where the Home at Ease listing agent receives 1% for listing the Seller’s home for sale and the Seller’s decide how much Buyer’s agent commission (if any) they will offer when they list the property. With the 1% plan, the Seller enjoys Full Premium MLS Service, savings, and the entire process is handled by the Listing Agent. The “Home@Ease Corporate Team” provides MLS, Newspaper & Internet advertising, professional photographs, yard sign, viewings arranged, feedback ,etc.

The second option is our $395 Flat Fee MLS plan. With this plan, Sellers receive MLS, professionally installed yard sign, Internet advertising, and more…but Sellers have to do much of the work themselves. Seller’s decide how much Buyer’s agent commission (if any) they will offer when they list the property. Only when the Seller’s house is sold and closed do the Sellers pay any commission to any agent who may have sold their home. Sellers pay no commission if they sell the home themselves. Buyer’s and Buyer’s agents will be calling Sellers directly for information and Sellers will be responsible for showing the house, doing any open houses, marketing, follow up, negotiations, etc. Sellers listing will appear on the exact same MLS the local Realtors use, just like any other listing. Buyers and agents will not know how much the Seller’s are saving in commission. Basically with the Flat Fee MLS plan Sellers are paying $395 plus whatever Buyer’s agent commission the Seller decides to offer.  Sellers on the $395 plan can switch to the 1% Full Service plan at anytime and if the property sells the $395 fee is reimbursed to the seller on closing. Statistics calculated based on the data from Real Estate Boards. Savings based on 5% plus HST. Commission paid to the buyer (s) agent could include Home@Ease Realty Inc. Not intended to solicit properties currently listed for sale or interfere with breach of any existing agency agreement.
