Value of a Commercial REALTOR®
How a Commercial REALTOR® Helps
Working with a commercial REALTOR® makes all the difference because a commercial REALTOR® is a member of your local real estate board, provincial association and the Canadian Real Estate Association and as such, subscribes to a high standard of professional service and to a strict Code of Ethics.
Whether you’re buying or selling, a commercial REALTOR® will do everything possible to respond to your concerns, satisfy your needs and accommodate your preferences.
A commercial REALTOR® will bring professional negotiating skills, crucial knowledge of the real estate market and a firm appreciation of the neighborhood.
Commercial REALTORS® have access to the Commercial Listing Service‚ (CLS®), Canada’s most powerful real estate marketing system.
The Calgary Real Estate Board has a long standing Commercial Division, dedicated to serving commercial practitioners. This Division also has its own Code of Conduct, Rules, and Regulations and Procedures.
Each member must complete a distinct educational program and maintain continuing education to stay current with licensing and membership. Members have access to the latest in standard forms and clauses to ensure all the pertinent details of the contracts are accurate and up-to-date.
Many of the 560 full commercial members are specialized and practice exclusively within specific commercial real estate segments (i.e., office sales/leasing, industrial sales/leasing, retail sales/leasing, investment properties, small business sales, commercial land sales, and apartment sales.)
Make sure you are using a REALTOR® who is a member of the Calgary Real Estate Board’s Commercial Division.
Why Choose a Specialist
A commercial REALTOR® is available to answer your questions and will guide you through the process.
Because the commercial REALTOR® knows the local market, he or she knows when the time is right to buy and sell and what is the best asking price.
A commercial REALTOR® is experienced with mortgage financing, plus many of the other issues that can make or break a deal.
Another added feature of using a commercial REALTOR® is the Commercial Listing Service®‚ (CLS®), a real estate listing database system available to all commercial members of your local real estate board, bringing buyers and sellers together. CLS® is a registered trademark of The Canadian Real Estate Association; only REALTOR®’S have direct access to their board’s CLS®‚ system.
