REAL truths about commissions, myths & working with a buyers agent
Popular Sales tactics exposed that could be used to lock you into commission, identify the red flags.
Also Buyer Beware tutorials. Learn about "Agent Steering" and illegal practice agents can use to steer buyers away from listings offering less than the area typical commission. I educate consumers how to interview, hire the right agents and KNOW the popular sales tactics used, lies and red flags. Breda educates consumers on the listing contract, clauses to be familiar with adding your own safeguards. Buyers will also know firsthand if they are working with an agent that is there for YOU or the sign on the lawn.
NOTE: Commissions in Canada are 100% NEGOTIABLE. If your listing agent says "It's our office policy" it is ILLEGAL.
There is a Canada wide class action lawsuit on commissions currently and already successfully settled in U.S. last year 2024, large brands like RE/MAX have made large settlements and the national Association of Realtors. As a result, listing agents can NO LONGER post on the MLS backend the 'Offering Commission" to buyer agents.
See video at the bottom agents in Canada caught on camera flat out lying to their buyers trying to book a property to view and agents "steer" them away by saying "negative things about the property and lying and saying the property isn't available to view or the listing agent isnt getting back to them or the private owner not getting back to them. ALL things you need to be aware of. Hire smart!
