加拿大房地产协会让步 屋主可自己卖房

Real Estate Agents are strictly regulated by REBBA (Real Estate and Business Brokers Act). Every one has to follow the Code of Ethics. As a Seller's agent, we have to be acting as the Seller with our knowledge and experience to get the best terms and highest value for the Seller. Anything could adversely affect the property's value, such as motivation to sell(divorce, moving to another city or out of the county etc.) and willingness to accept lower price shall not be disclosed, but factual defects regarding the property such as grow-up house, haunted house, etc have to be disclosed. We try to protect the best interest of the Seller. Acting as a buyer's agent, we have to whatever is the best for the buyer, finding out as much information as the possible about the property. When dealing with the Seller or the Seller's agent, we shall not disclose anything could affect negotiating the price such as the motivation of buying. We try to get the best terms and lowest price for the buyer. Obviously there will be conflict when we are representing both the Seller and Buyer. We have to disclose the fact to both parties and have them agreed. I understand some buyers like to deal with the listing agent directly. They think the agent can cut his/her commissions to same a couple of thousand. But they don't know they might risk of lossing thousands. I am working with a couple who bought a home in 2005. They are thinking to sell it. I did a history search for the neighborhood and the property. They bought the home through the listing agent. They paid over $30,000 for what was originally listed at $439,000 which should be the market price. The listing agent adjusted the price to $469,000(I am not sure if it was adjusted before they had contacted the agent or after). They paid $460,000. For my personal opinion, the listing agent riped them off badly because that they were new to the country back then. Honestly, I don't feel comfortble to represent both. I would suggest that they get their own agent

赞同这种观点。

回复 Williamlhw：Many agents as well as many buyers don't abide by the rules of the game to cause this chaos. To be frank, I see more buyers than agents do not play fair games. The buyers now are just asking for too much. I had a listing last month, the buyer insisted on dealing with me directly to save money, after the deal firm, after the money saving, she said "I felt I was not protected because you were presenting the seller, if I had my own agent, I would feel more protected." ☹️ my dear, what do you want?

回复 iamjj：Obviously they want your full service for free or even share your commission!

难道现在和过去所有的风险和责任都由地产经纪人承担吗？

回复 chen bsas：哈哈，看来你很无知啊！我所说的是在房屋买卖合约以内的经纪人责任，经济人必须承担！

回复 G.C.CANADA：So what are those 房屋买卖合约以内的经纪人责任, "有知"?

I can tell you, for sure this will pass the vote, but the way to buy and sell properties will not change dramatically, this is because the sellers dare not to take this risk, the buyers have to follow the way the sellers choose to sell, which is still the traditional way: through the agents. A good example is like this: to change the braking pad for your car, to buy the pad is only $20 or less, but you have to pay expensive labour to have it done, even though you can find how to change it on google, but very few people are willing to do it for the safety concern because people cannot afford any mistake during this process. I have seen many private sales, I have also seen some flat commission rate listings, not many of these are good deals. The reason as follows: try to think who wants to sell without agents, they are the sellers who want more money in their own pocket without paying the agents, they are not trying to save money for buyers by doing this, in other words, most of these kinds of sellers are expecting more dollars for themselves, not to save for buyers, buyers will not save much money by this way, then what is the motivation for the buyers to deal with them? This is why over 90% US residents still choose to deal with agents after the market has been open for so many years

回复 iamjj：It is very true!

Very good answer!!! I totally agree!

那么谁来保证JJ不偷东西？

回复 raymond_pk：这个问题很无知，如果你遇险了，连警察都不相信你报警干嘛？经纪带人看房是有记录的，有问题至少找的范围很小，让陌生人看房？嘿嘿，不多说了，想详细了解这个行业就去考个经纪牌就知道经纪有多少约束了。

哦，原来JJ还有防贼的功能，呵呵...

Do you know the average income of agents under Toronto real estate board is below $40K a year? Many agents feel hard to survive.

Nobody said no to all agents. We just need some alternatives.

回复 iamjj：They can find another job with better pay.

The reverse is true, life is getting harder and harder for buyer agents, more and more buyers like to deal with listing agents directly. The buyer agents will be got rid of by the market/buyers first. The best agents list only, the newest agents buy only (because too new to get listing), the rest will deal with both buyers and sellers

验房师是干啥的？jj是最没用的职业，就是因为他们的存在，房市才会这么crazy，只会忽悠的一群人。根本没有存在的必要。

我倒不会担心这个 到时候自然会衍生出来很多新的相关产业 譬如一些公司或者网站推出自卖房PACKAE相关服务或者TEMPLATE，或者律师行做这样的服务 我感觉现在的地产经济除了带看房子，签合约也并没感觉他们特别帮人看条款什么的 很多经纪的英文都甚至很不好

回复 whxh99：要按这个说法，加拿大许多行业都是在忽悠人，都是多余的，比如医生，有些病根本不用找他们，直接去药房开处方拿药不是更省事，卖汽车的dealer也是多余的，直接去厂家买不是更便宜，买房子的人干脆自己雇人盖房子，那才真的省钱呢！
