Today the Canadian Real Estate Association has launched a new commercial on REALTORS® behalf. It really strikes a chord with me because I have seen this happen first hand!
A few years ago I represented clients purchasing a property that was "For Sale By Owner". The Seller of the property was SO confident that he could do everything himself that he didn't even take me up on my offer to review their paperwork on the property they were purchasing (Also FSBO)... at no charge! Guess what- due to mistakes and misunderstandings that REALTORS® would have caught immediately , the Seller's family ended up in this exact scenario! Our clients got their new home on time though, and moved in without any issues (Sorry sellers.... I tried to help!)
