A broker shakes hands with a couple in front of a modern house

Six questions to ask

  1. Do you hold an OACIQ licence? Check it in the OACIQ public register.
  2. How many properties have you sold in my area, and how quickly?
  3. What is your commission, and what does it include?
  4. What is your marketing plan: photos, platforms, open houses?
  5. How, and how often, will you keep me informed?
  6. How long a contract do you propose, and how can it be ended?

The brokerage contract

By signing it, you give your broker's agency the mandate to sell. It's a written contract, on an OACIQ form suited to the type of property. With an exclusive contract, only your broker can sell the property while the contract runs, unless you agree otherwise. Read the duration, the commission and the termination conditions before you sign.
