Barrie & Simcoe County Real Estate Agents
Barrie realtors serving Simcoe County. A 1% listing commission. Full service.
Parker Coulter Realty is an independent real estate brokerage based in Barrie — not a national franchise running a satellite office. Our office is on Shanty Bay Road, and this area is the area our team works, every day.
We list homes for a 1% listing commission. We are the original 1% listing brokerage in Simcoe County, and we have been doing it for about a decade. That has not changed what you get: photography, drone, staging assistance, 3D tour, floor plans, and 24/7 support from start to close.
Where we work
Barrie is home base, and our service area runs from Bradford and Newmarket in the south up through Simcoe County to Coldwater, Midland and Parry Sound, west to Alliston and Collingwood, and north into Muskoka.
Not on the list? We also work across the GTA and through Orangeville and the Caledon area — give us a call and we will tell you straight whether we are the right brokerage for your address, or point you to someone who is.
Why local actually matters here
Simcoe County is not one market
Pricing a semi in Barrie’s south end and pricing a waterfront property on Lake Couchiching are different jobs, with different buyer pools and different timelines. Innisfil moves on GTA commuter demand. Coldwater, Midland and Parry Sound behave more like cottage-country markets. Knowing which market your home is actually in is most of what pricing it correctly means.
We publish what we see, every month
Our Simcoe County market reports lay out real numbers on sales, inventory and days on market — not a highlight reel. If you want to know what is happening in your town before you talk to anyone, start there.
Board access both ways
Your home goes on the local real estate board and onto the Toronto boards, then syndicates out to thousands of real estate sites. Buyers moving north out of the GTA are a real part of this market, so that southbound exposure is not a nice-to-have.
You can come and find us
We are a licensed Ontario brokerage with a real office and a real team of agents. If you want to sit down with someone before you list, you can.

What it costs to list with us
Our listing commission is 1% of the sale price, paid on closing. No upfront fees, no cancellation fees, no fees whatsoever. We only get paid when you get paid, and our commission is always 1%. If it does not sell, you pay us nothing.
The commission offered to the co-operating (buyer’s) brokerage is separate and is determined at time of listing by you, the seller. When comparing to 2.5% on each side, our 1% plus a 2.5% co-op commission puts the all-in cost at 3.5% rather than 5%. Commissions in Ontario are negotiable and are not set by law.
You can run your own numbers, including HST, on our commission comparison calculator.
