Richard Wontorra
Moncton REALTOR® — Full Service at 3% Total Commission

No. Richard's 3% model includes everything a traditional full-service agent provides: professional photography, MLS® listing, staging consultation, offer negotiation, open house coordination, and full support through to closing day. What changes is the fee — not the quality of service. Richard has a 5.00-star rating on RankMyAgent across verified reviews to back that up.

No hidden fees. The 3% total commission is the complete cost of Richard's representation. Separate closing costs you'll budget for include New Brunswick's land transfer tax (1% of purchase price), legal fees ($1,500–$2,000), and a home inspection ($500–$700) — but these are standard costs on any transaction, not additional charges from Richard.

The savings scale with your home's value. At $400,000, you save $8,000. At $500,000, you save $10,000. At $600,000, you save $12,000. In 2025 alone, 3 Percent Realty Atlantic Inc. saved New Brunswick home sellers more than $1 million in commissions combined, compared to traditional brokerage rates.

Richard's full-service listing covers: a free home valuation based on real MLS® data, professional photography, MLS® listing with maximum exposure, targeted social media marketing, staging consultation, open house coordination, offer review and negotiation, and complete guidance from listing day through to closing. Everything is included in the 3% total commission — no add-ons required.

Richard offers a free, no-obligation home valuation based on current local MLS® data — not an automated algorithm. To get started, contact Richard at 506-802-8805 or Richard@Wontorra.com. He serves homeowners throughout Moncton, Riverview, Dieppe, and Shediac.

The spring market (March–June) is typically the strongest in Greater Moncton, with the most active buyers and the highest likelihood of multiple offers on well-priced homes. The fall market (September–November) is also solid, with serious buyers who weren't ready in spring. Summer and winter tend to be slower, but a well-priced, well-presented home can sell in any season.

The core steps are: (1) Get pre-approved with a mortgage broker to confirm your budget. (2) Define your priorities — neighbourhood, school zone, commute, lot size. (3) View homes and make an offer — Richard prepares a competitive offer strategy based on current market conditions. (4) Complete a home inspection ($500–$700). (5) Close — budget for NB land transfer tax (1%), legal fees ($1,500–$2,000), and title insurance. Richard walks you through every step.

Budget 2–4% of the purchase price beyond your down payment. On a $400,000 home, expect: New Brunswick land transfer tax (~$4,000), legal fees ($1,500–$2,000), home inspection ($500–$700), title insurance ($200–$400). If your down payment is under 20%, add CMHC mortgage insurance premiums. Richard provides a personalized closing cost estimate before you make any offer.

No. As a buyer, you pay nothing directly to Richard. The buyer's agent commission is paid by the seller out of the total commission on the sale. Working with Richard as your buyer's agent costs you nothing — but gives you 16+ years of local market expertise and full representation through the entire purchase process.

For most buyers, conditions are the friendliest they've been in years. Greater Moncton is now a balanced market with 4.5 months of inventory — up from under 2 during the 2021 frenzy — meaning more choice and more negotiating room. Prices have flattened and remain far below $1M+ in Toronto (see the Market Snapshot on this page, updated monthly), and the Bank of Canada has held its rate at 2.25% since October 2025, keeping borrowing costs well below the 2023–2024 peaks. If you plan to stay 3+ years, buying in Moncton remains a sound decision — and in some communities, like the city of Moncton and the Shediac area, buyers currently hold real leverage.

Richard updates Greater Moncton's median and average sale prices every month in the Market Snapshot on this page, along with homes sold, active listings, and months of inventory. By community, Dieppe has the highest prices, followed by the Shediac area, Riverview, and the city of Moncton. These figures come from official Canadian MLS® Systems data via the NB REALTORS® Association, and I update them every month on my [Moncton Housing Market page].

Moncton remains one of the most affordable mid-sized cities in Canada. Homes in Greater Moncton sell for a fraction of what a comparable home costs in Toronto, Vancouver, or even Halifax. Combined with strong population growth (Greater Moncton added roughly 27,000 residents between 2021 and 2024), the region offers a rare mix of affordability and genuine demand.

It depends heavily on which community you're in. Riverview and Dieppe have tended to be the tightest markets, where well-priced homes draw quick interest, while the city of Moncton and the Shediac area usually give buyers more room to negotiate. The Market Snapshot on this page shows the current sales, listings, and months of inventory for Greater Moncton. I track these numbers monthly, so my clients always work from current data, not last year's headlines.
