Show me the money Jerry. SHOW. ME. THE. MONEY. Downsizing, upsizing or switching neighbourhoods, whatever the reason you’re making the move, here are the extras you need to look out for. Like a modern day Jerry Maguire, we treat each client as if it’s our only one. Agency Fees Bar the deposit and cost of your next home, the biggest cost incurred tends to be the agent’s fees.
