QUOTE (princecharles @ Nov 27 2008, 06:27 PM) Thanks everyone. I know having your realtor provide you with comps is the typical way to go about it. But I mean sometimes there are just too many properties available that you would like to take a quick look at their comps, and the market moves fast...

Agree with John. MLS systems in Canada are copyrighted so no one other than Realtor`s have access to that information. Joining with a good sales person doesn`t cost you anything and a good one should be on top of that for you and try to get info right away.

QUOTE (GarthChapman @ Oct 30 2008, 10:08 PM) My observation is the Realtors who are Realtors because that is their chosen profession, and who also happen to be investors, get the benefits of being their own Realtor when buying their own investment properties (that being their sideline). And if...

No, I wouldn`t pay for anything up front that doesn`t give me a guarantee it`s going to sell. Then if it`s not successful I`m out of pocket and that`s a waste of $3500. At least by using a Realtor it`s at their expense initially. If it doesn`t sell the first time and the contract expires...

PC is not a good company at all to deal with. This is not only my opinion but my personal experience as well. The only reason why they`re cheap is that they don`t have great customer service (if you can get someone) and too many restrictions and limitations. I went with another Insurance Broker...

Foreclosure is "buyer beware" and the property is "as is, where is". I don`t know if the property you`re considering is in BC so the laws may be somewhat different than here...maybe not. I can`t speak for your Realtor (whom should be advising you) but I can speak on how I do things for my...
