How Much Will it Cost Me to Hire a Buyers Agent?
Nothing!? Yes, 9 times out of 10, a Buyers Agent is paid a finders fee by the Sellers Agent if the Buyer that is working with the Buyers Agent purchases the Sellers Agents listed property!

Working with a Realtor in Vancouver- The Agency Relationship with your Real Estate Agent
Working with a Realtor The Agency Relationship in British Columbia by Mike Stewart Vancouver Realtor from Mike Stewart on Vimeo.
Hi All,
The “Working with a Realtor” brochure is one of the most misunderstood documents I work with.
Some people think that by signing this document they are committing to work FOREVER with the Realtor who got them to sign it. THIS IS NOT THE CASE!
The “Working with a Realtor” brochure is simply a signed confirmation the Realtor has explained the Agency Relationship to the client.
By signing this brochure, the client is NOT BOUND TO THE REALTOR. It is simply a signed disclosure that the client has had their rights in the Agency Relationship explained as well as the Realtors obligations and responsibilities to the client in this relationship. Nothing more.
The Agency Relationship is as follows:
1) Undivided loyalty. The Brokerage must protect the principal’s
negotiating position at all times, and disclose all known facts
which may affect or influence the principal’s decision.
2) To obey all lawful instructions of the principal.
3) An obligation to keep the confidences of the principal.
4) To exercise reasonable care and skill in performing all assigned
duties.
5) To account for all money and property placed in an Brokerage’s
hands while acting for the principal.
If you feel your Realtor is not following these rules bring it to their attention. If this doesn’t work, speak to their manager.
Here’s a copy of the Working With a Realtor Brochure:

When will Vancouver Real Estate Prices Hit Bottom? Beware of Those Telling you its Happening as its Happening!
Hi All,
Pretty much everyday someone asks me when prices in the Vancouver real estate market will hit bottom and everyday I say I don’t know.
I say I don’t know, because I don’t have a crystal ball and can’t see the future and as I licensed Realtor I can be liable if people take a hit relying on my predictions.
There are people out there who are saying they KNOW when the prices will hit bottom and they can tell when prices are bottoming as they are hitting bottom. Don’t trust these people!
What happens if prices stabilise and a bottom is called and then prices fall again? Nobody can accurately predict a market bottom and don’t trust those who say they can.
The market bottom can only accurately ascertained with 100% certainty AFTER it has been hit.
In making your decisions about buying or selling real estate and timing your transactions, do your own research. Read widely and speak to a variety of people with different viewpoints. Don’t rely on those who have simple answers that are too easy.
If something is too good to be true, more than likely it isn’t true.
Please leave a comment, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
