Not many people pay full commisions, especially when you sell and buy with the same agent.
Open houses are not recommended. It's usually a red flag, it means that you are having a hard time selling. Plus who wants your neighbours coming it just to see how you live.
House market in calgary is set by your neighbourhood, not you or the new granite counters you just put in. No one cares how much you spent on the renos, your house is worth as much as most similar homes in the neighbourhood. Having a clean or done up home means that you will sell faster.
My 2c. I've sold twice and bought 3 times. Those are the impressions I got when on the market each time.
