Eric’s goal is to make every customer a customer for life. 

If you are looking for a detailed, quality approach to real estate give Eric a call.  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?

        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?

         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?

                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?
