David Saunders | Professional Real Estate Services

Full Service. Massive Savings. 17+ Years of Expertise.

Experience You Can Count On

Selling your home is one of the most significant transitions you will ever make. You deserve an agent who brings more than just a listing to the table—you deserve a partner.

With over 17 years of experience navigating the local market, I have built my reputation on a personalized approach. I don’t believe in "one size fits all" real estate. Instead, I provide expert advice tailored to your specific goals, ensuring you feel confident from the first consultation to the final closing.

The One Percent Advantage

I joined One Percent Realty because I believe consumers deserve professional representation at a reasonable rate. By choosing me, you get the best of both worlds:

• Full Service: MLS® listings, professional photography, signage, and expert negotiation.
• Unbeatable Value: Thousands of dollars kept in your pocket, where they belong.

My Communication Guarantee

The #1 complaint homeowners have about real estate agents is a lack of communication. I am changing that. I believe that communication is the key to a successful sale. When we work together, you hear from me a minimum of once a week, usually much more often. You will never be left wondering about the status of your home or the latest feedback from buyers.

Available When You Are

Real estate doesn't happen 9-to-5, and neither do I. I am available to my clients every day of the week from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

Whether you prefer a traditional phone call, a quick text, an email, or a WhatsApp message—I respond to them all.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS:

 Q: What do you charge to sell my home?

A: My commission structure is simple, transparent, and designed to save you thousands of dollars in equity. Unlike traditional brokerages that charge 5%, I offer three clear tiers based on your home’s value:

• Homes under $400,000: A flat rate of $7,950 + HST
• Homes $400,000 to $900,000: A flat rate of $9,950 + HST
• Homes $900,000 and over: 1% of the sale price + $950 + HST

Note: All commissions above include the compensation for the Buyer’s Agent ($3,500 for tier A, $4,500 for tier B, and 0.5% for tier C).

 *Compared with a broker charging 5%, not all brokers charge the same.

 Q: Are your listings on MLS® and REALTOR.ca?

A: Absolutely. Your home will receive the same online exposure as it would with any 5% commission brokerage. We provide full MLS® exposure, meaning your property is listed on:

• The Local Real Estate Board (MLS®)
• REALTOR.ca (Formerly MLS.ca)
• Thousands of syndicated sites where buyers are searching.

We make sure your home is seen by every active buyer and every licensed REALTOR® in the industry. The only difference is the amount of equity you keep when the deal closes.

Q: How does the Buyer’s Agent get paid? Do I have to pay them?

A: Yes, the total commission you pay includes the compensation for the agent representing the buyer. We believe in total transparency, so here is exactly how that fee is distributed:

• For homes between $400,000 – $900,000: The flat fee of $9,950 is split down the middle. $4,500 goes to my office (the listing side), and $4,500 is paid to the Buyer’s Brokerage. The remaining $950 covers essential marketing and administrative expenses incurred in selling your home.
• For homes over $900,000: The 1% commission is split equally (0.5% to the listing side and 0.5% to the buyer’s side), plus the standard $950 expense fee.

Q: Are there any upfront fees to list my home?

A: None at all. Just like a traditional brokerage, I only get paid when I successfully sell your home. I cover all the marketing costs, MLS® listing fees, and administrative expenses upfront. You don't pay a penny until the transaction is complete and your home is sold.

If your home doesn’t sell, you owe me nothing. My success is completely tied to yours.

 Q: Will other agents show One Percent listings?

A: Yes—and the statistics prove it. This is our most frequently asked question, and the answer is simple: Over 80% of our listings are sold by Cooperating Agents (agents from other brokerages).

Here is why agents continue to show and sell our listings:

1.      Buyer Demand: In the digital age, buyers find the homes they want to see on REALTOR.ca and send them to their agents. If a buyer wants to see your home, their agent is professionally obligated to show it.

2.      Competitive Commission: We don't ask agents to work for free. Our model includes a competitive commission for the Buyer’s Representative (e.g., $4,500 for homes under $900k, or 0.5% for homes over $900k).

3.      Ethical Duty: Licensed REALTORS® have a legal and ethical duty to act in the best interest of their clients, which includes showing all properties that meet the buyer's criteria, regardless of the commission rate.

4.      The Bottom Line: At the end of the day, an agent’s goal is to help their client buy a home. 

Q: Does One Percent Realty work?

A: Absolutely—and the numbers speak for themselves. Thousands of Canadians have already discovered that you don’t need to sacrifice your home’s equity to get premium results. One Percent Realty works because we focus on what actually sells a home: Exposure, Presentation, and Realistic Pricing.

Paying a higher commission doesn't make a buyer fall in love with your kitchen or a professional photographer take better pictures. Your home sells because we put it in front of the right people through massive online exposure (REALTOR.ca and MLS®) and expert local marketing.

The result? Your property gets sold, you receive full professional service from a seasoned agent with 17+ years of experience, and you keep thousands of dollars more of your own money.

It’s not just a discount—it’s a smarter way to sell.

 Q: How does the $9,950 commission break down?

A: Transparency is a cornerstone of my business. For homes priced between $400,000 and $900,000, the flat fee of $9,950 is distributed as follows:

• $4,500: To the Listing Agent (David Saunders).
• $4,500: To the Buyer’s Agent (The "Selling Agent").
• $950: Allocated for professional expenses (including office fees, MLS® system fees, and marketing costs).

The Best Part? You pay $0 until your home is sold.

How can we charge so much less? Traditional agents spend a massive amount of their time and income on "prospecting" and soliciting new business. At One Percent Realty, our low-commission model and high volume allow us to eliminate high overhead and expensive "self-promotion" costs. Instead of chasing the next lead, I can focus 100% of my energy on serving my current clients and getting their homes sold.

We pass those overhead savings directly to you.

Q: What do you mean by "Full Real Estate Services"?

A: It means I handle everything from start to finish. You get the same professional representation you would expect from any traditional brokerage—the only difference is the thousands you save in commission.

My "Full Service" commitment includes:

• Maximum Exposure: Listing on your local MLS® Board, REALTOR.ca, and OnePercentRealty.com.
• Professional Presentation: High-quality photography and "For Sale" signage.
• Total Access: Secure lockbox installation and coordinated showings for potential buyers.
• Active Marketing: Digital advertising and hosting Open Houses to drive traffic.
• Full Representation: Managing all inquiries, vetting buyers, and coordinating with cooperating brokerages.
• Expert Negotiation: I handle all offers and contracts to ensure you get the best possible price and terms.
• Paperwork & Logistics: Complete management of all legal documentation and contracts through to closing.
• Constant Communication: Keeping you informed every step of the way.

I am a fully licensed, experienced professional. I do the work, I take the calls, and I negotiate the deal. You keep the equity.
