Sell Home in Kawartha Lakes for Just 1% Commission

Kawartha Lakes is Ontario’s cottage-country city — Lindsay, Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls homes and lakefront that draw buyers from Durham, Peterborough and the GTA. List your Kawartha Lakes home for 1% with Modern Solution Realty, save approximately $9,750 on the average $650,000 home, and get the same full marketing reach as a traditional 2.5% listing.

Why 1% Commission Works in Kawartha Lakes

Kawartha Lakes buyers are GTA retirees and remote workers relocating, Durham families moving north for value, and cottage buyers headed to the Trent-Severn lakes. They search MLS, Realtor.ca and HouseSigma from a distance, so photography and drone footage carry the first showing. A polished 1% listing performs exactly as well as a 2.5% one — without you giving up thousands at closing.
