New Rules for the BC Real Estate Industry

 

The Real Estate Council of BC has created new rules that effect how real estate advisors and their clients can work together throughout different types of real estate transactions. The rules came into effect June 15, 2018 and were created to enhance consumer protection and increase transparency in the industry. These rules include several new disclosure forms that all real estate advisors must present to consumers and their clients. The forms help you make an informed decision on your rights and the obligations and responsibilities of your advisor or if you choose to become an unrepresented party. In addition, if listing your property there is greater transparency on commissions. To understand how these new rules could apply to you in your next real estate transaction, talk with your real estate advisor and/or read more information at the following link:
