Calgary / Find the right starting point

Real estate in Calgary

Buying, selling and leasing a property involve different decisions and service agreements. Start with the transaction you are considering and the type of property. Then ask a Calgary real estate professional to explain who they would represent and what work the relationship includes.

Use the comparison checklist

Understand the relationship before signing

RECA's consumer resources explain working with Alberta real estate professionals and provide a public licence-search route. Check the person and brokerage, then ask how representation would work in your transaction. Have the professional explain the proposed agreement, its term and what happens if the relationship ends. If you are already bound by an agreement, ask the appropriate professional to review your situation before creating another one.

Ask for the work behind the proposal

A seller can ask how a pricing discussion will use relevant property evidence and what marketing work is actually included. A buyer can ask how search criteria, viewings and questions about property information will be handled. Commercial and residential transactions need different expertise. Ask who will coordinate with your lawyer, inspector or other specialists, and which matters fall outside the real estate professional's role.
