In real estate, Sales Representatives most commonly work with clients to purchase, sell, or lease a property.  Because there are many needs for a Purchaser, Seller and Tenant in a real estate transaction, it is important that the client has representation – someone on their side working for their best interests.

Buyer Sales Representatives play a vital role to the real estate market – they bring buyers sound advice on the market values in different neighbourhoods, book appointments to show listings on the market, and draw offers for buyers to purchase properties.

Typically, Buyer Sales Representatives are the first to know about properties that become available on the market.  The public using the Multiple Listing Service is second to know.

One way that Multiple Representation can occur in a real estate transaction is when a sales representative takes care of two parties in a real estate transaction.  This occurs commonly in the real estate industry and can be done in a fair and ethical manner.

I take pride in educating my clients about agency relationships in the real estate world. The role of a REALTOR plays an important part to the lives of a Seller, Buyer or Tenant.  It’s important that you have a sales representative who is willing and able to explain who is working for you.
