Why Use a REALTOR®?
Most sellers will have a REALTOR® representing them and negotiating on their behalf. In the high stakes world of Vancouver real estate, you are at a distinct disadvantge if you try to negotiate on your own. By having a professional REALTOR® looking out for your intrests you will level the playing field dramaticly.
And the good news, it's FREE!
Generally when the Seller enters into an MLS® Contract to sell their home, the commission has been determined and in a sense allocated. This means your REALTOR'S® commission will be derived from the transaction, and you will be getting professional representation for free!
