Claim This ListingFrequently Asked Questions
How much does a real estate agent cost in white-rock?
In Canada, the seller typically pays the commission — usually 4-5% of the sale price, split between buyer's and seller's agents. As a buyer, you generally don't pay your agent directly. Some buyer's agents charge flat fees or offer rebates.
Do I need a real estate agent to buy or sell in white-rock?
Legally, no. But a good agent brings market knowledge, negotiation skills, access to listings, and handles the complex paperwork. For sellers, agents typically get 5-15% more than FSBO sales. For buyers, your agent costs you nothing (the seller pays).
How do I choose the right real estate agent?
Look for: local market expertise in your specific neighbourhood, recent transaction history (ask for their last 10 sales), communication style that matches yours, Google reviews above 4.5, and willingness to explain their strategy. Interview at least 2-3 agents.
What's the difference between an agent and a broker?
An agent is licensed to help buy/sell real estate. A broker has additional education and can own a brokerage or work independently. For most buyers and sellers, the distinction doesn't matter much — focus on experience and local expertise.
Should I use the same agent to buy and sell?
It can simplify things, especially with timing. But it's not required. Some agents specialize in listing (selling) while others focus on buyer representation. If your agent is strong in both, using one agent can give you better coordination.
