How
Your Agent Can Help
Real estate agents:
your guide through the real estate wilderness
Think of your sales representative like a wilderness
guide. Just as the wilderness guide keeps you
on the right path and away from danger on a
backwoods adventure, your real estate agent
expertly navigates you through the complicated
areas when buying a home and steers you clear
of costly pitfalls.
In order to practice real estate, all agents
must be licensed and complete courses on topics
relevant to your home search and transaction.
In addition to holding a valid real estate license,
most Royal LePage agents are also REALTORS®.
The term REALTOR ® is a trademark that identifies
a licensed real estate agent as a member of
The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
All REALTORS ® make a pledge to adhere to
a strict code of ethics and standards.
A real estate agent or REALTOR ® is an expert
on all things real estate in your neighbourhood.
A good agent saves you time and money. She or
he knows your community, knows what is important
when buying a new house, and knows all the intricacies
of the process, from finding a home, to negotiating
a price and closing the deal.
How your real estate
agent will help you find your dream home
A Royal LePage agent will do the following:
-
Screen the available houses
in your neighbourhood to make sure that the
houses you look at fit your budget and your
requirements.
-
Give you important information
on the local housing market and price trends,
taxes, utility costs, services and amenities.
-
Guide you through the
open house viewing process, showing you features

-
Advise you about your
