Do buyers pay real estate agent fees in Winnipeg?

In most Winnipeg transactions, buyers do not pay their agent directly. The seller pays a total commission that is split with the buyer's agent. This means buyers can receive 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 Winnipeg.

Buyers in Manitoba do pay other closing costs including Manitoba land transfer tax, legal fees, and home inspection costs. The provincial land transfer tax applies on a sliding scale based on purchase price. Budget roughly 1.5 to 2.5 percent of the purchase price for total closing costs beyond your down payment.
