Buyer representation

• Is the best way to create a working relationship with one agent who acts as your buyer representative

• That agent not only becomes responsible for helping you find the right home, they also become legally bound to represent your best interests

• Instant paging/texting of listings, gives agents the advantage of being up-to-date with potential properties

For the majority of Canadians their home is their largest investment, so minimizing one’s risk is not only prudent – it is essential.
