http://www.BrooksFindlay.com How to choose a realtor with Vancouver real estate agent Brooks Findlay and Vancouver mortgage broker Mark Fidgett of http://www.notapennydown.com. First, you always do better with one. This applies equally to buying and selling. If you’re shopping for a house in a certain area, hook up with a well-connected, recommended agent who can pull listings for you, organize tours, dig up comparables and sales data you won’t see otherwise, advise you on writing an offer, present it for you, and negotiate on your behalf. After acceptance, the agent will help deal with conditions, liaise with the vendors, deliver docs to your lawyer and tackle any problems prior to closing. Never use the vendor’s agent, thinking you’ll get a better price or it’s less trouble. This is a big deal. You need your own representation.
