Why join Right at Home Burlington
Where stability meets transparency.
When you partner with a brokerage, you're trusting it with your licence and your livelihood. At Right at Home Realty, that's a responsibility we take seriously.
Our history
Agent-first since 2004.
Our story starts in the early 2000s, when our founders noticed a business model gaining ground in the US where agents kept all their commissions. Canadian brokerages had run on split-commission models for decades. The founding branch of Right at Home Realty opened in 2004.
The model worked. That agent-first approach has grown Right at Home to 9 Ontario branches, where 6,000+ real estate professionals run their business their way, fully supported, and keep 100% on every close.
Stability & transparency
Your trust is not negotiable.
Your earnings, your security
A fee-based model, so you keep 100% of your commission. Every commission is accounted for, with clear statements and timely payouts.
Straightforward policies
Agreements written in plain language, with no hidden clauses. You always know where you stand and what to expect.
A culture of accountability
Every transaction, fee and payment is tracked and verified. Compliance with every RECO regulation isn't optional. It's our standard.

Before you switch
Questions agents ask me.
Is our first conversation confidential?
Yes. Our conversation stays between us. Nobody at your current brokerage hears about it from me.
Do I really keep 100% of my commission?
Yes. Right at Home is fee-based. You pay a monthly brokerage fee and a flat fee per transaction, capped at $15,000 a year, and keep your full commission. The fee schedule above has the details.
Do I need to be in Burlington to join?
No. Many agents serve clients across Halton, Peel and the GTA. We'll talk about where you work and whether the branch fits your market.
What happens to my current listings and deals?
We'll go through your current agreements and obligations together before you make any decision, so the move is clean for you and your clients.
