Real Estate: The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday March 1, 2006 - 23 Who is that Realtor working for? Sometime we like surprises, like a sur prise party or a surprise gift. When it comes to buying or selling your home, however, surprises are the last thing you want. Realtors believe it's important for you to understand for whom they are working, and what services you can expect from them. That way there are no unpleasant surprises later in the transaction. A Realtor may be working for you - if you have a clearly estab lished "agency relationship" with that Realor. But often, you may assume such an obligation exists when it does not. The next time you are buying or selling a home, you will be asked to sign some form of agency agreement. The use of written agency agreements, whether with buyers or sellers, is now mandatory for all real estate practitioners in Ontario. As an agent, the Realtor is legally obligated to look after the best interests of the person he or she is working for. The agent must be loyal to that person. The real estate profession itself lobbied for many years for the creation of the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), a self management body for the profession in Ontario. As of January 1, 2000, all licensed real estate brokers and sales people must follow certain rules designed by RECO to protect consumers. You will be asked to sign a listing agree ment if you a seller. You will be asked to sign a buyer agency agreement if you are a buyer and the Realtor is representing your interests. And, whether you are a buyer or a seller, you will be asked to sign documentation confirming that you understand whom the @ Home With The Goodale Group Don Goodale Brad Miller Realtor is working for.
