Consulting a REALTOR®

REALTORS® are members of The Canadian Real Estate Association who subscribe to a Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. Members of the Victoria Real Estate Board are members of both the British Columbia and Canadian Real Estate Associations.

The following is a list of services you can expect to receive from a REALTOR® when you buy a home:
  • A REALTOR® will fully explain the details of your working relationship (called "agency") so that you are clear as to when a REALTOR® is working for you or for the seller.
  • A REALTOR® has access to hundreds of current listings of homes for sale because of a co- operative system called the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®).
  • A REALTOR® can provide you with a customized list of homes that best meet your needs -- size, style, features, location, proximity to schools, shopping, etc. - and then make arrangements for you to view those homes that appeal to you the most.
  • A REALTOR® will help you determine how big a home you can afford.
  • REALTORs® are familiar with the local lending market and can offer helpful advice.
  • A REALTOR® has no emotional ties to any type or style of home and can be objective in pointing out the merits of one home over another.
  • A REALTOR® will have information on zoning changes, taxes, utility costs and school and recreation services that could affect your decision to buy a home in a specific area.
  • A REALTOR® will assist you in negotiating the terms of your purchase, which can be a nerve- wracking process for someone who is not experienced in negotiating.
  • A REALTOR® will advise you of the legal process required in obtaining title and taking possession of your property; the costs associated with buying a home such as insurance, mortgage registration and legal fees will be explained in detail.

Selling Your Home - Why it Pays to Use a REALTOR®

Before selling your home, you will need a clear understanding of the legal issues and potential pitfalls. One wrong action could result in a lot of cost and frustration, which is why it is essential to have a REALTOR® working with you, as he or she will make the sale of your home a successful and satisfying experience.

Greater exposure

REALTORS® use the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) to give your home maximum exposure. MLS® is a computer-based system that relays valuable information about your home to hundreds of REALTORS® and potential homebuyers.

Setting a price

Setting a price for your home is an important but difficult process. Again, this is where the services of a REALTOR® prove invaluable. REALTORS® have the experience to help you understand how the market works and decide upon a realistic price that meets your goals. REALTORS® also pre-screen potential buyers to make sure only those who are serious and financially qualified view your home.

REALTORS® will also develop a marketing plan to help your property receive maximum exposure. This will likely include placing your home on the MLS® system and placing a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn. The plan will likely also include arranging open houses for other REALTORS® and potential buyers, and developing advertisements and feature sheets/mailers to market your home.

Once you have accepted an offer to buy your home, your REALTOR® will help ensure that all the proper paperwork is completed. He or she will also make sure that both parties meet the necessary conditions outlined in the agreement.

Why working with a REALTOR® makes sense

When you work with a REALTOR® you will likely get a better price for your home than if you try to sell it yourself. Apart from the financial benefits, however, there is an extra measure of comfort and security that comes from having a REALTOR® on your side. Remember that REALTORS® are governed by a code of ethics and standards of business practice. They have also been trained and licensed under the provincial Real Estate Services Act to assist in transactions involving real property. When it comes to buying or selling property, using a REALTOR® just makes sense.

I am a devoted father of three fantastic (NOW) adults, Wilson, Eva and Jack, that I love and adore. We love to spend time in our 27 foot ChrisCraft touring the Gulf Islands, as well as cycle, ski, take road trips and play music together. I'm also a former teacher with a Bachelor's Degree in Education and I've studied at the University of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Laval in Quebec City, and also UBC in Vancouver.

I have been a REALTOR® in Victoria, BC since 1998 and I've seen all sides of the real estate market; hot and cold, seller's and buyer's and I believe this experience gives me a decided edge when acting for both buyers and sellers. My clients will tell you that I am confident, knowledgeable, prepared and perhaps most importantly, available. Relationships with my colleagues are extremely important to me and I believe that is one of the most significant factors in getting satisfactory results for clients.

Understanding and walking the walk with respect to my fiduciary obligation on behalf of customers is one of the main reasons why I have an extremely high number of clients who choose to do business and to refer family and friends to me, again and again. Especially in this market, with all it's changing parameters and conditions, I believe you'll want to interview someone who has a bonafide plan for marketing your home. Even more importantly, you'll want to work with someone who has the experience in working with other realtors effectively and has earned their respect.

 Since 2018, I have been publishing quarterly, along with Dirk Van derWal, the VictoriaQReport.com, a super deep dive into the real estate numbers that is THE go to real estate report for determining how to interpret and navigate your place in our real estate market. It's the real estate report realtors read, as we say, as so many of our local colleagues subscribe. Sign up for free now at the link above.
