Sell Home in Fort Erie for Just 1% Commission

Fort Erie is Niagara’s lakeside border town — Ridgeway, Crystal Beach and Stevensville homes with buyers from Hamilton, Buffalo and the GTA. List your Fort Erie home for 1% with Modern Solution Realty, save approximately $10,125 on the average $675,000 home, and get the same full marketing reach as a traditional 2.5% listing.

Why 1% Commission Works in Fort Erie

Fort Erie buyers are retirees and remote workers relocating from the GTA and Hamilton, cottage buyers heading to Crystal Beach, and cross-border buyers. They search MLS, Realtor.ca and HouseSigma and value photography that shows the lake and beach lifestyle. A polished 1% listing performs exactly as well as a 2.5% one — without you giving up thousands at closing.
