Is a 1% commission realtor worth it in Ontario?

Yes — if the 1% realtor provides true full-service representation. SoldByJP delivers 18 services for 1% that most 3% agents provide only 4 of: professional photography, MLS listing, syndication to 500+ sites, social media marketing, agent-to-agent outreach, pricing strategy, offer negotiation, inspection coordination, appraisal guidance, and more.

What's the difference between a discount realtor and a full-service realtor?

A discount realtor typically cuts services to justify a lower fee — you might only get an MLS listing and a lockbox. A full-service low commission realtor like SoldByJP provides everything a traditional 3% agent does (photography, marketing, showings, negotiation, closing management) but at a lower rate. The key question isn't the commission percentage — it's how many of the 18 essential selling services you actually receive.
