FAQ

What are typical real estate fees in Alberta?

There’s no fixed commission rate in Alberta — every brokerage sets its own structure. Some offer flat-fee or limited-service options, while others focus on full service and strong representation.

I’ve built Veritas Realty around Character & Excellence, which means transparency, communication, and a professional, hands-on approach from start to finish. I’ll always explain what you’re paying for and make sure you understand the value behind it.

How does Veritas Realty’s commission work?

My standard commission is 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the remaining balance (plus GST).
To attract buyer agents and maximize your exposure, 3.5% on the first $100,000 and 1.5% on the remainder (plus GST) is offered to the buyer’s representative.

This approach keeps your property competitive in the market and ensures every agent showing your home is motivated to bring qualified buyers. It’s a balanced, honest structure that reflects fair work for fair value.

What’s included when I list my home with Veritas Realty?

When you list with me, you’re getting personal attention and full-service marketing from start to finish — no handoffs, no shortcuts.

Here’s what’s included:

  • Professional real estate photography and certified measurements

  • A home-staging consultation

  • Listing exposure on MLS®, Realtor.ca, VeritasRealty.ca, and social channels

  • A professional yard sign for local visibility

  • A custom pricing and market analysis tailored to your neighbourhood

  • Buyer feedback and regular communication

  • Skilled negotiation and transaction management through closing

I handle every listing like it’s my own home — with care, precision, and accountability.

Where does Veritas Realty serve?

Veritas Realty is proudly based in Cochrane, Alberta, serving Cochrane, Bearspaw, Springbank, Rocky View County, and West Calgary.

This area isn’t just where I work — it’s home. Knowing the people, the neighbourhoods, and the pace of life here allows me to serve my clients with local insight and genuine care.

Why choose Veritas Realty?

Because real estate should be built on Character & Excellence — not sales tactics.

At Veritas Realty, those values guide every decision I make.
Character means giving honest advice, even when it’s not the easiest route.
Excellence means delivering a higher standard — professional marketing, strong negotiation, and service that goes beyond what’s expected.

I don’t take on every client — but when I do, I give everything I have. Your goals get my full attention from first conversation to final signature.

When you work with Veritas Realty, you’re not dealing with a team of strangers — you’re working directly with me, someone who stands firmly on truth, integrity, and follow-through in every detail.

How long does it take to sell a home?

It depends on your home, price point, and the current market — but I’ll always give you a clear, realistic estimate upfront.

I analyze local trends, comparable sales, and buyer demand to determine a timeline and pricing strategy that makes sense. My goal is to sell your home for the right price, not just the fastest one — with honesty and professionalism guiding every step.

Why work with a licensed REALTOR® instead of selling privately?

Selling privately may seem tempting, but it often costs more in the long run — through missed opportunities, poor pricing, or lack of representation.

Working with a licensed REALTOR® ensures:

  • Accurate pricing and market insight backed by data

  • MLS® exposure to reach thousands of qualified buyers

  • Professional negotiation to protect your best interests

  • Legal compliance under RECA (Real Estate Council of Alberta) for peace of mind

I handle every step personally, making sure no detail slips through the cracks. You’ll never feel like “just another listing.”

What does "Veritas" mean?
Veritas is Latin for truth - and it's the foundation of everything I do.
In this business, truth matters. It means honest communication, fair dealings, and doing what's right even when no one's watching.

My mission is simple: to serve with Character & Excellence, and to help families build strong foundations - both in their homes and their futures.
How can I find out what my home is worth?
You can request a Free Home Valuation any time. I'll personally prepare a detailed report comparing your home to recent sales and current listings in your area.

There's no obligation - just straightforward insight to help you make informed decisions.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring your options, I’ll make sure you get clear answers, honest advice, and service defined by Character & Excellence.
