Why 1% Commission Works in Orillia

Orillia buyers are retirees and downsizers from the GTA, local families, Barrie buyers looking for a lower entry price, and investors near Lakehead and Georgian College. They search Realtor.ca and MLS-fed sites, and every Modern Solution listing is on those same platforms. A polished 1% listing performs exactly as well as a 2.5% one — without you giving up thousands at closing.
