Save Thousands When You Sell Your Port Moody Home
Port Moody is the City of the Arts, home to Rocky Point Park, Brewery Row, and one of the most walkable communities in the Tri-Cities. Sellers here benefit from constant buyer demand, and 1% per side means more of your equity stays in your pocket.
How Much You Save with One Percent Realty in Port Moody
Take a $1,100,000 Port Moody home as an example. One common commission structure in BC is 7% on the first $100,000 plus 2.5% on the balance, which on a $1,100,000 sale works out to roughly $32,000 in total commission.
With One Percent Realty, total commission on the same sale would be $22,000 (1% to the listing side plus 1% to the buyer's agent), a savings of about $10,000 before GST.
Disclaimer: Commission rates in BC are negotiable and vary widely. The 7% + 2.5% structure is one example used for general illustration. It is not a claim that all agents charge this rate, and this comparison is not intended to interfere with any existing relationship you have with another realtor.
The One Percent Advantage
- 1% to the listing side (that's me, Michael Bortolin)
- 1% to the buyer's agent (the agent who brings the buyer)
- $9,950 minimum total commission if the percentages come out below that
- All-inclusive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees
Full Service, Not Limited Service
The lower commission doesn't mean a stripped-down listing. You get everything a full-service brokerage provides:
- Professional photography
- Full MLS exposure across the Lower Mainland
- REALTOR.ca listing
- Social media marketing
- Professional sign and lockbox
- Showing coordination and management
- Expert price negotiation
- Closing assistance from start to finish

What My Clients Say
"I was very satisfied with Michael's service. He helped me sell a condo in Metrotown at a higher price than I thought I'd sell it for and with a quick closing date. Additionally I saved a substantial amount on the real estate commission."
— Emilio, Burnaby BC
"Very professional and does a great job marketing. Even better service than other agents that charge way too much commission. He is very well-informed and always available. I would highly recommend Michael and One Percent."
— Steve M., Burnaby, BC
"Michael was very knowledgeable about the marketplace, reliable, responsive and helpful, even in a stressful process. We also saved thousands of dollars in commission that we would have had to pay if we used any other agent. I would strongly recommend him."
— Roger S., Surrey, BC
Frequently Asked Questions
Is service quality lower with One Percent Realty?
No. You get the same MLS exposure, professional photography, REALTOR.ca listing, sign, lockbox, showings, negotiation, and closing support as any full-service agent. The only difference is the commission rate.
Will buyer's agents avoid my listing because of the lower commission?
The buyer's agent gets a full 1%, the same as the listing side. That's a standard amount buyer's agents work with every day. About three-quarters of our MLS listings sell through cooperating buyer's agents.
How does One Percent Realty make money charging so little?
Volume and efficient systems. We don't spend on flashy marketing aimed at recruiting agents. We invest in selling homes, not in agent overhead.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. The structure is transparent: 1% to the listing side, 1% to the buyer's agent, $9,950 minimum total commission. All-inclusive.
How fast can I list?
Most listings can be live on MLS within 48 to 72 hours of signing.
