What is the difference?
There are four differences between picture A and picture B
Why it pays to work with a real estate agent
Equity, pre-approval, subject clauses, appraisal, these are all terms associated with buying real estate, yet even experienced homebuyers don’t always know the finer points. Navigating today’s housing market can be challenging, particularly in an economic climate marked by inflation, high interest rates, and elevated home prices across British Columbia and the rest of Canada. That’s just one reason buyers and sellers alike benefit from the guidance of a seasoned real estate professional.
Types of real estate professionals
Many people use the terms real estate agent, real estate broker, and REALTOR® interchangeably, but there are notable distinctions.
REALTOR® is a trademarked term referring to a real estate professional who is a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). These individuals must follow a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice and have access to comprehensive market data, tools, and professional resources.
A real estate agent (also called a salesperson in BC) is licensed to help people buy and sell property. They earn a commission when a transaction completes.
A real estate broker (in BC often referred to as an associate broker or managing broker) has additional education and licensing. A managing broker can operate a brokerage and supervise other agents. They may receive a portion of the commissions earned by the agents they oversee.
Buyer and seller representation
A real estate professional may represent the buyer, the seller, or in some cases, both parties.
A buyer’s agent negotiates on behalf of the buyer.
A seller’s agent (or listing agent) negotiates on behalf of the seller. Dual agency, where one agent represents both sides, is heavily restricted in British Columbia and generally not permitted, except in very rare and exempt situations, due to the inherent conflict of interest.

Commission structures vary from brokerage to brokerage, as BC does not have a standardized rate. Many commissions are split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents, but the exact amount is negotiated independently.
Why work with a real estate professional?
Homeowners sometimes question the need for an agent or broker, especially sellers who typically pay commissions. But the benefits almost always outweigh the costs.
Expertise
Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial decisions most people will ever make. A licensed professional understands the legal requirements, market dynamics, contracts, disclosures, title issues, and the complexities of BC real estate regulations.
Accurate pricing
Professionals conduct comparative market analyses (CMAs) using real, local data. This ensures sellers list at a competitive price and buyers make informed, strategic offers that reflect current market value.
Access to MLS®
Agents and brokers have access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), Canada’s most comprehensive real estate database. This exposes sellers to a larger pool of qualified buyers and allows buyers to see accurate, up-to-date listings that meet their criteria.
Skilled negotiation
Negotiations around price, repairs, subjects, timelines, and conditions can get emotional. Having a neutral third party leads to clearer communication, smoother problem-solving, and better outcomes for everyone involved.
Buying or selling real estate is a complex, detail-heavy process. A professional can simplify the journey, reduce stress, and help ensure you make confident, well-informed decisions in today’s fast-moving BC market.
