Finder's fees

Fees paid to licensed associates/brokers for property sales are calculated in accordance with the Fee Schedule below. The Fee Schedule reflects findings of a comprehensive review of standard practices and fee structures currently being used by other municipalities and developer/owners. The fee structure ensures consistency, transparency and our duty to represent the best interests of the citizens. 

When the associate/broker is a fully active participant in the negotiations and acts as the point of contact for the transaction, Finder’s Fees will follow the fee schedule below. 

Associates/brokers who are also directors, shareholders, and/or employees of the company purchasing the property will not be eligible for any type of fee from The City.

A fee may or may not be payable on specific transactions.​ Please confirm within the property listing of applicable fee details.
