Full time realtor who doesn't rely on commissions for a living... What should they rely on? High income spouse?

I was being a bit of a dick, what I meant is there are a lot of realtors who struggle to make a living doing this job, so it promotes poor decisions and they end up putting their own needs before their clients.

Same goes for part time realtors, they don’t provide the proper service that a job like this demands.

What you need is a realtor who is willing to put your needs before their own when it comes to helping you either sell or buy a property.

Willing to take a call on a whim, meet you on your schedule, not theirs, respond in a timely manner.

Respond period.

Basically make you feel like you are their only client.

Trust me, there are very few realtors out there that can provide this.

I hate having to rely on trust. I much prefer ensuring people have the same interests as me, and that I know when they don't so I can put their advice in context.

Nothing worse than part time realtors.


Shouldn’t be allowed, this pisses me off more than anything.

RECA & CREB need to crack down on this, makes the industry look like a joke.

I hate to break it to you, but PT realtors aren't the only problem

Totally agree, this should be part of the interview process.

Testing their knowledge and understanding of the market, their ability to market your home, or assist you in the purchase of a home.

Do you want someone helping you buy a home if they don’t even know how it was built?

Has an endless supply of contacts for trades, materials, appliances, etc.

A good friend of mine used this analogy.

Do you want someone investing your money if he’s not willing to show you his own portfolio.

Of course not, but it’s definitely a contributor.

The barrier to entry to becoming a realtor should be much higher. That would solve a lot of problems.

If CBC wrote an article about one couple willing to be publically humiliated for their stupidity, there are dozens upon dozens of examples just like this we don't hear about.

And yes they're stupid AF. FOMO culture at its peak

For sure theres a ton more morons out there lol

There's a bit of responsibility the buying realtor should have taken.

But, seriously, spend the $1K and fly out. Who the fuck buys a property in the 6 figures and doesn't even go look. It's not like there's a pandemic and you can't get on a plane. A newer condo, I can understand, but an old fucking house?

Stupid is as stupid does. Who knew Forrest Gump was wise.

Agreed 100%

Since when do people want national attention for being idiots? I'd be hiding the details of this transaction from anyone I ever knew

I'm up for a meet.

Keep in mind @Power_Of_Rotary , we're all just busting your balls.

Dude, if you make the money, we'll be the first to buy you a double meat sub.

I'm serious for a meet. We've all been busting on each other, especially for the past 2 years from boredom of being stuck in a communist regime. I'd be happy buy everyone a double meat sub.

Is this another term for cock meat sandwich?

In all seriousness - free time is my single most precious resource. I don't have enough time to see with my friends and family as much as I'd like. While you seem like a swell chap, the chances of you getting me out for a random evening engagement are zero.

Sudbury seems to be a great place to live. The houses seem to be built with gaps at the bottom of walls. Cool feature.

I get it, poor working student. Budget some money to stay at a hotel or hostel so that you can scope out where you are living. People with little means should be the ones doing the most due diligence.

They need more equalization money from the prairies.

Why do that when you can just whine to CBC to put out an enraging story? I have zero sympathy for anyone lately.

Being from Bangladesh the landlord thought that cockroaches would make him feel more at home.

Int students complaining about living standards. lol.
