Are realtors in Ontario a bunch of greedy pigs?

Are realtors in Ontario a bunch of greedy pigs?

Earlier this week, I met with a potential seller client to discuss listing his home for sale.

We had a conversation about commission and it went a little something like this:

Seller: What’s your fee?

Me: Six percent, if I thought your home would be difficult to sell. But, since I’m pretty confident I can sell your home relatively fast, I’ll only take five percent.

Me: I don’t get to keep all of it, but you’ve got the right idea.

Seller: That seems a bit…steep. Can you do any better, Brent?

5 Things to Look for When Viewing an Older Home

It almost goes without saying that, when viewing a property of any age or condition, a home inspection is an excellent idea.

This will help to uncover latent defects — the type of defects that may not be obvious based on a cursory glance, especially to an untrained eye.

The cost of having a home inspection done — often between $300 and $500 — pales in comparison to the cost of repairing a cracked, sinking foundation, or gutting the house to replace old knob and tube wiring.

For the purposes of this post, however, I want to address what are referred to as patent defects. In other words, defects anyone could see with an untrained eye, but might not.
