Are the commissions too high?
There is no “normal” or mandated commission in Quebec. Each broker is free to negotiate their fees with their client. The real question, therefore, is not “How much does a broker cost?”, but rather “What value do they bring for that cost?”
A commission is not a tax. It is the compensation of a professional who takes a risk: they often work for weeks or months without any guarantee of being paid.
