You, as the seller have a legal obligation to bring every BUYER inquiry to them. Conversely, the [Mere Listing] Real Estate Brokerage would have the same obligation to you. Did they pass on every email inquiry to you? Have they answered every phone call and given the property details and collected the Caller details? If I have Qualified and Ready buyer for your home and ask you to sign by email, the Agreement to Pay Commissions OREA Form 201, DO they call and say; Hey! a Realtor wants to show your house? Are they screening your buyer prospect stream? Are they limiting the number of potential Qualified Buyers that could be looking at your home?
How are you being represented IF you didn't know they are turning prospects away on your behalf?
Is your listing is NOT posted on the Local Real Estate Board, How is this a service or benefit to you? It may be on the retail MLS, Sure, its may be on the MLS.ca site. Agents all use that site to market their property listings. Agents who are working with buyers signed under Buyers Agency Agreement (BRA) are using our own system that is updated hourly with sold and available and the newest listings. In the Toronto Market a lag of 24 or 48 hours means that you are watching the multiple offer presentation from the outside.
I am pleased to work on a contingency basis. I get paid on the successful completion of an Agreement of Purchase and Sale. I cannot offer a cash back on closing where a mere listing is offering $0.01 to the Co Operating Broker.
Work with experienced qualified people to sell and buy your next property.
