218 Coltrin Road, Rockcliffe Park

$6,300,000 · MLS® X13461368

Rockcliffe Park is Ottawa's most established luxury neighbourhood — embassy residences, mature trees, and some of the largest lots inside the city. Homes on Coltrin Road rarely come to market, and when they do, they set the tone for the top of the Ottawa market. If you have been waiting for a Rockcliffe address, this is one to see in person.

6197 Ottawa Street, Richmond

$2,175,000 · MLS® X13847268

Waterfront, and still an easy drive into the city — that combination is hard to find around Ottawa at any price. This Richmond property offers the space and setting of a country estate with the water at your doorstep. Properties like this tend to move quietly and quickly.

The 1% Package

How Can Full Service Cost 1%?

The savings come from the business model, not the service. As an independent brokerage with no franchise fees and no layers of management, our overhead is low — and that goes directly to you as a lower commission. You still get professional photography, MLS® exposure, expert negotiation, and direct access to the broker of record.

On a $2,000,000 sale, the difference between a traditional 2.5% listing fee and our 1% is $30,000 — money that stays in your pocket. See everything the 1% package includes →

Know Your Rights

What Is TRESA, and How Does It Protect You?

TRESA — the Trust in Real Estate Services Act — is the Ontario law that governs real estate brokerages and agents (in force since December 2023). It requires us to put commissions and fees in writing, give you RECO's information guide before you sign anything, and clearly explain who represents whom in your deal. In short: what you pay and who works for you is disclosed up front.

It is one more reason the 1% model works: everything is on paper, before you commit to anything.
