Jazz Awadh
Sales Representative
“My passion for real estate started early. At 18, I made my first investment in London, Ontario, buying a home near the university. With rental prices soaring, I saw an opportunity to provide affordable housing for students and turned a four-bedroom ranch into a successful rental. That first step led me to build a growing real estate portfolio, spanning from London to Toronto and even into other provinces like Alberta…”

Frequently Asked Questions...
What do I get for 2.99%?
For our 2.99% total commission, you receive a full service listing package. This includes HDR photography, 3D virtual tours, aerial drone photography, personalized video tours, exposure on REALTOR.ca, and targeted sponsored advertising across social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Our goal is to provide strong marketing and professional representation at a fair and reasonable rate.
Will other Agents show my home?
Yes. We cooperate with all licensed real estate professionals through the MLS and we offer a 2% commission to the buyer’s agent. This ensures your home is accessible to a wide network of agents and buyers.
What sets you apart from other low commission or flat fee companies?
One important difference is how we handle cooperating commissions. We believe offering a fair commission to the buyer’s agent is an important part of getting your home in front of as many qualified buyers as possible. Some low commission or flat fee models limit this, which can reduce exposure. At Rinehart Realty, we focus on keeping your listing competitive while still offering meaningful savings.
What’s the catch, are you going to try and “Up Sell” your commission rate?
No. The 2.99% is the total commission. We do not upsell or charge additional fees for standard services. What we outline from the start is what you receive.
For lower-priced homes, is there a base fee?
Yes, for homes under $500,000, we charge a base fee of $4,950, in addition to 2% commission to a buyer’s agent. This transparent fee structure ensures fairness while providing a cost-effective solution for homeowners in this price range. We believe in clear communication and affordability, tailoring our approach to meet the specific needs of each property, regardless of its value.
What sets you apart from a larger traditional franchise?
At Rinehart Realty, our distinct advantage is a modern, tech-driven approach to real estate. Operating virtually, we leverage cutting-edge technology to streamline processes, reduce costs, and offer a more affordable total commission rate without compromising service quality. Our commitment to transparency, personalized service, and innovation ensures a seamless and cost-effective real estate experience. Simultaneously, we prioritize our agents’ success by eliminating high franchise fees and hefty broker percentages, fostering a collaborative and client-focused environment. This empowers our agents to prioritize your needs without pressure to ‘up sell,’ ensuring a positive experience for both our team and clients.
Do you hold open houses?
Yes. As part of our services, we can arrange open houses for both the public and for agents. This strategic approach enhances the visibility of your listing, attracting potential buyers and facilitating a dynamic selling process.
Aside from Realtor.ca, where else is my home advertised?
In addition to REALTOR.ca, your home will be advertised on popular search engines such as Zillow, HouseSigma, Kijiji, and several others. What’s more, our multifaceted marketing approach includes targeted sponsored paid ads on Facebook, extending our reach to a broader audience, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area. This strategic initiative ensures that your property receives exposure across various channels, maximizing its visibility for a successful sales process.
What areas of Ontario do you serve?
Rinehart Realty proudly serves a diverse range of locations across Southwestern Ontario, including major cities like London, St. Thomas, Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, Brantford, Woodstock, Grand Bend, and Sarnia. We also extend our services to all the smaller communities in between.
Why should I select Rinehart Realty to sell my home?
