Realtor Roles and Responsibilities

A real estate agent acts as your primary advocate during a property transaction. In Ontario, agents must follow the Trust in Real Estate Services Act (TRESA). This legislation ensures that professionals provide conscientious service while protecting your best interests. Our role involves managing legal requirements, conducting market analysis, and executing negotiation strategies to reach your goals.

For sellers, we determine an accurate listing price by comparing your home to recent sales in the local market. We coordinate professional photography, manage property showings, and verify that potential buyers have secure financing. When offers arrive, we explain the terms of each contract and negotiate to secure the best price and closing dates.

For buyers, we identify properties that match your specific criteria and budget. We investigate property history, zoning rules, and local land use to ensure you make an informed decision. We draft your Agreement of Purchase and Sale with clear conditions that protect your deposit. Throughout the process, we maintain your confidentiality and disclose any potential conflicts of interest immediately.

Professional representation provides a buffer between you and other parties. We handle the paperwork and communicate with lawyers, inspectors, and mortgage brokers to keep the transaction on track.
