You will never have to be concerned about speaking to an un-registered so called “team” member, other then his receptionists. Marketing Fees are becoming common practice with some REALTORS®. A marketing fee is charged to a cooperating brokerage who brings a buyer into purchase your home. In Eric’s opinion, he does not agree with this practice on regular real estate listings for numerous reasons. Before hiring any REALTOR®, Eric urges you to contact the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO). RECO’s purpose is to protect you, the consumer. Speak to the REALTORS® past clients, not just the ones the REALTOR® has given you. Speak to your family and neighbours, ... Also, obtain the services of a GOOD Real Estate lawyer. Don’t sign anything without allowing your lawyer to review it first. If you are buying a property, shop for a reputable Home Inspector. Both NACHI and OAHI are registered associations. Interview your home inspector. Find out exactly what he/she will do. Example: Will the home inspector go on the roof? What will they cover if they missed something? … Ask your REALTOR® / yourself the following; 1. How much labour will you spend weekly on my listing? 2. How much money will you be investing? 3. Who’s in control? 4. Are you charging other REALTORS® a fee to sell my home? Example: Marketing Fee 5. What experience do you have as a Buyer REALTOR® and a Seller REALTOR® ? 6. Ask yourself; Do I trust this person? Am I comfortable with this person? 7. Can you provide me with references / testimonials? 8. What knowledge do you have of the area? 9. What education do you have? 10. Is Real Estate your fulltime job? 11. How do you contribute to my community? 12. Ask to see actual listings the REALTOR® has SOLD in the last year. 13. Does the REALTOR® have a Web site? If so, how often is it updated? How many hits daily does it receive? 14. Are you mainly a listing REALTOR® . Listing Realtors usually market using newspapers / flyers / bus benches … that is the OLD way of marketing. The REALTOR® is marketing themselves making YOU think they are working on your home. 15. How will you market my home? 16. Will I receive a professional market analysis? 17. What percentage of your business is based on referrals? 18. How are you perceived by your colleagues within the industry? 19. Have you ever been disciplined by any Brokerage you have worked for? 20. Have you ever been disciplined by RECO, TREB, YRREB, … 21. Have you ever been sued? 22. Do you have support staff? If yes, will you take responsibility for the errors they create? 23. If I leave you a message, how long will it take you to contact me? Will you guarantee this time? 24. Do you plan on going on vacation over the next “X” months? 25. Can I TERMINATE my listing anytime? Know the difference between TERMINATION and SUSPENSION. 26. How many homes are you currently marketing? If the REALTOR® is marketing more then four at the same time ask yourself if you are really getting your money’s worth. 27. Will you be marketing my home on more then one Real Estate board? Example: If your home is located in Innisfil, will it be marketed on both the Barrie & Toronto boards? Obtain proof. 28. If there is an inquiry on my home who responds? How quickly? 29. How long have you lived in this region? 30. How does your average sale price compare to list price? NOTE: A number of REALTORS® are terminating listings & putting them back up as a new listing. Ensure you have the ENTIRE history. 31. What marketing plan do you have that is different from everyone else's? 32. Do you have any marketing materials of your listings I can review? 33. What commission do you charge? What if I sell the home myself? 34. What is your marketing / pricing philosophy 60 days or more down the road? 35. Are you thorough and complete when you upload my listing?
