Sell Your Peterborough Home for 1% | Modern Solution Realty

Sell Home in Peterborough for Just 1% Commission

Peterborough is the gateway to the Kawarthas — a university and hospital city with a walkable downtown, an affordable housing stock and a steady flow of buyers from the GTA. List your Peterborough home for 1% with Modern Solution Realty, save approximately $8,550 on the average $570,000 home, and get the same full marketing reach as a traditional 2.5% listing.

Why 1% Commission Works in Peterborough

Peterborough buyers are retirees and downsizers from the GTA, Trent and Fleming students' families and investors, local move-up buyers, and remote workers. They search Realtor.ca, HouseSigma and MLS-fed sites — 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.
