Great article! (CREA scrambles to retain Quebec members) Frankly, I agree with part of the Quebec broker's positions. First off, I find Realtor.ca a very primitive, useless platform. The reason why many buyers are looking many places for properties is because the CREA's website is not as good as it needs to be.Furthermore, I also agree with Quebec's law that requires listing agents to verify data on listings. I strongly oppose the so called mere-posting that Melanie Aitken was advocating through her position at the Competition Bureau (but funny she didn't utilize it herself). The public demands and needs the real estate industry to be professional, accurate, reliable, and experienced.
Can you imagine buying a property listed on the MLS that you assume is being put forth by an ethical, legally-bound and bonded agent only to find out it's the seller putting false representations forward? We're talking hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. Protection of your largest asset should be of monumental importance!
What are your thoughts?
