Buying or selling a home is a big decision, filled with complicated rules and regulations. Working with a REALTOR® who understands your needs can help you navigate this exciting and often nerve-wracking process with success.

Where do I find the right REALTOR® for me?

Don’t settle. Interview a few REALTORS® to find the best match for you.

  • Reach out to family and friends. Asking people you trust about their own experiences and recommendations is a great way to find a REALTOR® who suits you.
  • Look at REALTOR® names on property listings or signs in your desired neighbourhoods, as these REALTORS® may have a good understanding of those neighbourhoods.
  • Search for a REALTOR® on realtor.ca by name, office, city or languages spoken.

What questions should I ask when interviewing a potential REALTOR®?

You should tailor interview questions to fit your personality and specific needs, but there are several standard questions that can help you decide who your REALTOR® will be:

  • How long have you been in real estate?
  • What is your average list-to-sale-price ratio?
  • How will your marketing plan meet my needs?
  • How will you ensure I find a place I love?
