Do buyers pay real estate agent fees in Edmonton?

In most Edmonton transactions, buyers do not pay their agent directly. The seller pays a total commission that includes compensation for the buyer's agent. This means buyers get full professional representation at no out-of-pocket cost. For what a buyer's agent does with that compensation, see what a buyer's agent does in Edmonton.

Buyers in Alberta do pay other closing costs including legal fees, home inspection costs, and title insurance. Alberta has no provincial land transfer tax, which is a meaningful saving compared to Ontario or BC. Budget roughly one to two percent of the purchase price for total closing costs beyond your down payment. Find a real estate agent in Edmonton who can walk you through the full cost of buying.
