Terms and Conditions for "Sell for 1%" Promotion

1. Eligibility: The “Sell for 1%” promotion is available exclusively through The Home Trail Team, a group of agents affiliated with Save Max Real Estate Inc., the brokerage of record. This promotion is valid for properties listed for sale with a minimum selling price of $700,000 CAD in Ontario.

2. Commission Rate: The Home Trail Team will charge a 1% commission fee based on the final sale price of the property for the selling agent. The buyer’s agent commission will be agreed upon prior to listing the property and documented in writing. The promotion is only available through The Home Trail Team, and the deal must be transacted through Save Max Real Estate Inc., where the property will be listed by Save Max Real Estate Inc. The designated agent will be affiliated with The Home Trail Team but employed by Save Max Real Estate Inc. Note: If the property does not sell for a minimum of $700,000, the 1% cashback offer will not be upheld, and a different commission may be payable, as agreed upon by the seller and agent/brokerage.

3. Services Included: The 1% commission includes the following services:

  • Professional photography
  • Customized marketing plan, including MLS listings, social media promotion, and virtual tours
  • Expert negotiation services for buyer offers and counteroffers
  • Full paperwork and legal support throughout the process
  • No additional or hidden fees for standard services provided

Note: Staging is not included as part of this promotion.

4. Promotion Exclusions: The 1% commission does not include any optional services or third-party fees (e.g., staging, repairs, or legal services beyond standard contract handling). The Home Trail Team may adjust the commission fee structure if any special conditions or unique circumstances apply, such as properties that are highly specialized or require extensive additional services.

5. Listing Agreement: By enrolling in the “Sell for 1%” promotion, the homeowner agrees to sign a standard listing agreement with Save Max Real Estate Inc., the brokerage of record. The listing agreement outlines the full scope of services, terms of sale, and commission structure, and the designated agent will be affiliated with The Home Trail Team, but employed by Save Max Real Estate Inc. Note: While the property can sell within the duration of the listing agreement, the seller must agree to a minimum listing agreement period of 60 days to ensure adequate time for marketing and sales efforts.

6. Agreement Duration: The promotion is valid for properties listed with The Home Trail Team for the duration of the listing agreement, and the property can sell at any time during that period for the 1% commission rate. The seller must agree to a minimum 60-day listing agreement period.

7. Commission Payable: The commission is payable upon the successful closing of the property sale. If the property does not sell during the listing period, no commission fee will be due.

8. Additional Fees: If the property sells for a price higher than the listed amount, no additional commission will be charged above the 1% rate. Additional fees may apply for any optional services the seller opts for, such as staging or specialized marketing.

9. The Home Trail Team’s Right to Modify or Cancel Promotion: The Home Trail Team reserves the right to modify, extend, or cancel this promotion at any time without prior notice. Any changes to the terms of this promotion will be communicated to clients as soon as possible.

10. No Refunds: Commission fees are non-refundable once the transaction is closed and the sale has been finalized.

11. Exclusivity: This offer applies exclusively to properties listed through The Home Trail Team. Any properties listed with other agents or companies are not eligible for the 1% commission rate.

12. Legal Compliance: All transactions must comply with the relevant laws and regulations in Ontario, including the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 (REBBA), and any applicable local, provincial, or federal regulations.
