With the huge fluctuations in real estate in Ottawa over the last couple of years, many people are looking to find a healthy balance between getting the very best in professional representation for buying and selling real estate and doing so in a cost effective manner.

Anyone who has ever tried to navigate real estate transactions without a realtor in the effort to save money can tell you it was a disaster. They did not save money in the process, and the purchase (or sale) was nowhere near as profitable as it would have been had it been brokered with the assistance of a real estate agent. So, the obvious conclusion here is that you will definitely need an Ottawa realtor.

There are many costs involved in buying and selling real estate, especially the closing costs, but the largest expense is usually the real estate service fees, be they a commission percentage or a flat rate. Saving money on the realtor service fees can be tricky to navigate because if taken in the wrong context, it could be interpreted as you asking a professional to charge less for their skilled trade.

Cashback from realtors in Ottawa is a good alternative to negotiating a lower commission fee. Asking a real estate agent to lower their commission fee may feel like you are asking them to defend what they charge, or you may be left wondering what services they will hold back because you’re trying to save money.

There are two types of cashback from realtors. The first is called a real estate commission cashback rebate. It is only available to buyers (not sellers) and not many real estate agents will agree to it because it cuts into their overall profits. The second type of cashback is offered through a company called Shop2Save, which is an online consumer buying and savings platform.

When buying or selling real estate (Yes! Even those who are selling are eligible for this cashback from realtor incentive) Shop2Save members can earn real cashback rewards dollars.

Of further interest to people that are already looking to save money when looking for top real estate representation and to save money, Shop2Save members also earn cashback rewards when they arrange mortgages through Dominion Lending Centres (The top mortgage company in Canada)!

To clarify, Shop2Save is not a real estate firm, nor is it a mortgage company. They simply service their members with the very best in real sate representation (Remax) and help them save money too!
