Wednesday, December 15, 2010 Port Moody Video Blog Dec 7, 2010 New Regulations Regarding the Competition BureauCategories:Canadian Real Estate Association,Competition Bureau,Port Moody Condos,Port Moody Real Estate,Port Moody Realtor December 7, 2010- Greg Axford talks about the recent regulation changes reached between the Competiion Bureau and the Canadian Real Estate Association. Perhaps the original media attention mislead the public by stating anyone can put their home for sale on the MLS system. This is not the case, however, sellers should have the right to decide on different business models, real estate brokerages and commission structures. Sellers should make sure they know what they are paying for and how the agent they chose will market their home. |
